This research study focuses on key hydrogen technologies and applications. It provides data about the size and growth of both captive and merchant hydrogen markets, lists company profiles and discusses patent trends and industry trends. Cutting-edge developments, research priorities, and potential business opportunities are a key focus.
Merchant hydrogen, the focus of this report, includes all hydrogen produced by one company for sale to another.
The merchant hydrogen industry provides hydrogen used in industrial processes, including processes for the manufacture of gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, plastics, metals, agricultural fertilizer, pharmaceuticals and food oil products.
Other uses in areas such as food and semiconductor manufacturing, for example, while important, require much smaller volumes of hydrogen. Merchant hydrogen providers also serve emerging energy or fuel applications for transportation, although at present this market is quite small.
The report includes:
Analysis of trends in the market, with data for 2017, estimates for 2018 and projected compound annual growth rates through 2023.
Coverage of cutting-edge development areas such as biological processing and localized production, research focus, end-use markets, and production technologies
Assessment of patent and intellectual property (IP) activities
Evaluation of the future use of merchant hydrogen and on-site distributed generation
Company profiles of the leading players in the industry, including Airgas, Inc., Air Liquide, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Linde AG and Praxair, Inc.
