Report Details

Hydrogen has been a key commodity in industry for decades but is now being explored and utilized in other applications such as power generation, transportation, and heating. Momentum for a new era of the hydrogen economy is building, especially as green hydrogen is becoming more cost-effective and being seen as a potential significant contributor toward decarbonization of the energy sector.

Despite this, there are key points across the value chain that need addressing if hydrogen is to scale up and couple sectors together. Presently, transportation and storage of hydrogen are limited to several commercially viable technologies and processes, do not have clear regulations, and remain small in scale compared with other industrial gases such as natural gas. This report discusses the market trends that are occurring in the hydrogen infrastructure space, primarily focusing on transportation and storage of the alternative fuel.

This Guidehouse Insights report analyzes the developing hydrogen economy and relevant infrastructure. The study examines the current state of hydrogen transportation and storages and identifies areas where improvement is possible and needed to fully connect the hydrogen economy. The report closes with recommendations for several groups of hydrogen stakeholders.

KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED
