Hydrogen Fueling Stations Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The rising adoption of low carbon technologies is notably driving the hydrogen fueling stations market growth, although factors such as challenges associated with hydrogen refueling facilities may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the hydrogen fueling stations industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Hydrogen Fueling Stations Market Driver
The rising adoption of low carbon technologies is one of the key drivers fueling the hydrogen fueling stations market growth. To reduce carbon emissions and meet the rapidly growing energy demand from various industries such as automotive industry various industries have come forward to establish massive renewable energy deployment objectives. Countries such as the US, Western European nations, China, and Japan, are constantly working to meet stringent long-term carbon reduction targets. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), total renewable energy consumption in the US totaled 12.15 quadrillion British thermal units (BTU) in 2021, up from 9.72 quadrillions BTU in 2015, representing a 20% increase. Such factors are anticipated to drive the hydrogen fueling stations market growth during the forecast period.
Key Hydrogen Fueling Stations Market Trend
Recent developments is one of the key hydrogen fueling stations market trends supporting the market growth. The competition is gradually increasing in the market, which is influencing vendors to come up with new developments. For instance, in April 2021, Air Products introduced its latest HRS unit at its industrial gases plant in Ulsan City, South Korea. The hydrogen fueling station uses the company's air product state-of-the-art hydrogen fueling technology and is subsidized by the government. Similarly, in November 2021, Hiringa Energy Ltd. announced the construction of the first four high-capacity green HRS for zero-emission heavy FCEVs such as trucks and buses in New Zealand. Such new developments will propel the hydrogen fueling stations market growth during the forecast period.
Key Hydrogen Fueling Stations Market Challenge
Challenges associated with hydrogen refueling facilities is one of the factors hindering the hydrogen fueling stations market growth. The installation of the dispenser at an HRS is highly expensive and costs $66,410. Also, sourcing hydrogen is a major challenge as pure hydrogen is not available directly on the Earth, producing hydrogen for fueling FCVs is expensive as well as energy-intensive. Moreover, this pure hydrogen should be cost-effective compared with other fuels such as gasoline to ensure its large-scale adoption. Further, hydrogen storage tanks are expensive and require maintenance. For instance, Toyota Motor Corp., Mirai FCV has hydrogen storage tanks, which are made of carbon fiber, while the onboard fuel cell, which generates electricity, is made of platinum. Hence, the high costs associated with the development of HRS are expected to hinder the growth of the global hydrogen fueling station market during the forecast period.
