Grey Hydrogen Market Size to Reach US$ 150.3 Bn by End of 2031

As per a market report by TMR, the global grey hydrogen market was valued at US$ 135.0 Bn in 2022 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 1.2% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2031. Production of grey hydrogen involves the usage of natural gas or coal through steam reforming and the coal gasification process. These processes lead to excessive carbon emissions, which make them hazardous. Hence, the carbon capture usage and storage method is used to make it carbon-free.

Grey hydrogen, derived from natural gas through the process of steam methane reforming (SMR), is the most prevalent form of hydrogen production currently. Despite its environmental drawbacks due to significant CO2 emissions, grey hydrogen remains a cornerstone of the hydrogen economy due to its cost-effectiveness and established infrastructure. The market for grey hydrogen is influenced by various factors including technological advancements, regulatory frameworks, and the evolving energy landscape.

Increase in usage of grey hydrogen in ammonia production and as feedstock for animals is one of the key factors likely to boost the global market during the forecast period, according to the grey hydrogen research report by Transparency Market Research.
