The Europe Hydrogen market has projected an expansion to reach approximately 9.2 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 4.13% during the forecast period until 2032. Hydrogen-based power generation, which is both cost-effective and sustainable, is generating a significant level of demand.

Hydrogen is a colorless and abundant gas. Almost hydrogen is never present in its pure form; it is always chemically bonded. It must initially be produces unlike natural gas, and several energy sources are employed for this. Its combustion doesn't release any pollutants, making it a carbon-free energy source. It is referred to as CO2-free hydrogen and serves as a storage option for renewable electricity when it is produced using renewable energy. Hydrogen is a clean fuel and an alternative to methane. Hydrogen can be transferred in a variety of ways, including using existing gas networks. Transport is also feasible in other forms, such as ammonia.

The market driving factor of Hydrogen is as a clean alternative to conventional fuels. With Europe’s goal towards decarbonizing, hydrogen holds a substantial position in the fuel market. Hydrogen can be easily transported by the means of pipelines. Countries like Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands are aiming towards exceeding pipeline in the forthcoming years and have already launched National Hydrogen strategies. In the forthcoming years, developments in efficient electrochemical compression of hydrogen will be done for transporting maximum gas in the least volume. The Europe Hydrogen market will most likely reach 14 million tonnes by 2032.

Based on demand by region, the Hydrogen market is segregated into Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Western Europe. Among these regions, Western Europe is dominating the Hydrogen market. In 2021, Western Europe accounted for consumption of approximately 41% of the hydrogen market with major consuming countries being France, Belgium, and Germany.

Based on the end-user industry, the Europe Hydrogen market is segregated into Refining, Ammonia, Chemical, Fuel, and Others. As of 2022, the majority of hydrogen is used by the Refining Industry with a market share of 50%. Hydrogen (H2) is crucial for refining operations in the petrochemical industry. Companies use this gas to remove Sulphur from the fuels using a chemical separation process known as hydrodesulphurization. Refining is expected to remain the major application of hydrogen even in the forecasted period.

Major players in the production of Europe Hydrogen are Linde, Air Liquide, Air Products, Sapio, Praxair, Petrochemia Plock, Kawasaki, Norsk Hydro, Skeljungur, SIAD, Oy Woikoski, Ansaldo Energia, and Others.
