Electrolyzer is a device to produce hydrogen from water, which is called green hydrogen to differentiate it from conventional hydrogen production involving fossil fuels.
A new technology for making cost effective electrolyzer systems developed at H2GenTech in cooperation with BullX Research and MulPhys [1] has a potential to significantly impact green hydrogen production.
The technology can be applied to mass-produce inexpensive electrolysis systems of small and large sizes and substantially decrease the maintenance costs associated with hydrogen production.
Traditional industries utilizing hydrogen, such as chemical, food, and medical, are moving toward green hydrogen production as a climate-neutral technology.
In addition to that new markets for green hydrogen are emerging:
The global hydrogen market is expected to experience significant growth, with estimates projecting it to reach a size of around $556.56 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 7.82% from 2024 onwards [1, 2, 3, 4].
Factors pushing for green hydrogen production in Europe include Strong drive toward climate neutral technologies and de-carbonization, the loss of inexpensive supplies of Russian gas and expensive liquefied gas imports. There are large investments in Germany in hydrogen pipelines and infrastructure.
There are numerous large-scale projects in green hydrogen production around the world, including projects in Africa on the development of a large-scale industrial hydrogen production in Sahara region, several big projects in China and elsewhere.
Following the growing demand for hydrogen, the electrolyzer market is expected to surpass $278.82 billion by 2033.
