Global Hydrogen-Based Renewable Energy Market to Hit US$ 34.9 Billion by 2035 | Transparency Market Research

According to the latest industry analysis, the global hydrogen-based renewable energy market is entering a transformative growth phase. Valued at US$ 1.8 billion in 2024, the market is expected to expand at an exceptional CAGR of 32.5% between 2025 and 2035, reaching approximately US$ 34.9 billion by 2035. This growth trajectory reflects the critical role hydrogen will play in global energy transition strategies, with governments and industries accelerating adoption to meet net-zero carbon goals.

Hydrogen-based renewable energy is rapidly emerging as one of the most promising solutions to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors and ensure a cleaner global energy system. As an energy carrier produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources, hydrogen offers a carbon-free alternative for industries such as steelmaking, refining, ammonia production, power generation, and clean mobility. Analysts note that the convergence of falling renewable energy costs, ambitious policy frameworks, and large-scale industrial investment has created a tipping point for the hydrogen economy.

Market Overview

The hydrogen-based renewable energy market refers to the production, storage, transport, and utilization of hydrogen generated through renewable processes such as solar and wind-powered electrolysis. Unlike conventional hydrogen production from fossil fuels, this method produces zero carbon emissions, positioning it as a cornerstone of the clean energy transition.

Hydrogen's versatility makes it valuable across multiple sectors. It can act as:
• A feedstock for refining and chemical industries,
• A fuel for transportation (e.g., fuel-cell vehicles),
• A process gas for steel production, and
• A storage medium to stabilize intermittent renewable energy supply.
These multifaceted uses, combined with escalating policy support and technological breakthroughs, are driving a surge in global investment and deployment.

Latest Market Trends

• Green Ammonia Expansion: Ammonia is emerging as the most commercially feasible hydrogen carrier, leveraging existing infrastructure for global transport and storage.

• Scaling Electrolyzer Manufacturing: Companies are ramping up gigawatt-scale production capacities to meet rising demand.

• Hydrogen Hubs and Corridors: Regional hydrogen clusters are being developed to integrate production, storage, and utilization in single ecosystems.

• Cross-Sector Collaboration: Energy, automotive, and chemical companies are forming strategic alliances to fast-track commercialization.

• Technological Advancements: Innovations in PEM, SOE, and AEM electrolyzers are improving energy efficiency and reducing system costs.

Key Drivers of Market Growth

1. Strategic Decarbonization of Hard-to-Abate Sectors
Hydrogen plays an essential role in reducing emissions in industries where electrification alone is insufficient-such as steel, cement, refining, and chemicals. Green hydrogen, produced via renewable-powered electrolysis, replaces fossil-based inputs while achieving up to 90% reduction in CO2 emissions. For instance, hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (H-DRI) projects are being piloted globally by leading steelmakers as part of their decarbonization strategies.

Major corporations such as ArcelorMittal, Thyssenkrupp, and Yara are investing heavily in hydrogen-powered demonstration plants, recognizing that early adoption not only aligns with sustainability targets but also secures competitive advantage in a carbon-constrained global economy.

2. Government-Led Investments and Infrastructure Development
Policy and regulatory support have become key catalysts for the hydrogen economy. Governments across major economies are implementing national hydrogen strategies, subsidies, and infrastructure investments to fast-track adoption:

• The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides tax credits of up to US$ 3 per kg for low-carbon hydrogen production.
• The European Union's Fit for 55 package and REPowerEU Plan target 40 GW of electrolyzer capacity by 2030.

• India's National Green Hydrogen Mission (US$ 2.3 billion) is fostering domestic production and export potential.
These frameworks not only bridge cost gaps between green and grey hydrogen but also provide long-term demand certainty, stimulating private investment in infrastructure, storage, and hydrogen hubs.
