Executive Summary
Summary:
Global investments in building the hydrogen economy totaled nearly REDACTED in 2021, are expected to exceed REDACTED in 2022 and should reach REDACTED in 2027. These figures represent a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of REDACTED from 2022 through 2027.
Reasons for Doing This Study:
This is an update of a 2019 BCC Research report on the global hydrogen economy. There have been some significant developments since the last report was published, such as the accelerated development of a network of hydrogen fueling stations in a number of developed markets.
The transition to a hydrogen economy will require large investments in capital equipment and durable goods at every stage of the hydrogen chain, from production of hydrogen through its distribution and storage to its conversion to useful work or energy. These investments are economic challenges to the extent that they require the mobilization of sufficient financial resources, as well as business opportunities for providers of related goods and services.
