Hydrogen is fast emerging as the definitive low-carbon lever for hard-to-abate sectors — from heavy industry and shipping to long-haul transport and seasonal energy storage. Global hydrogen demand stood at ~97 million tonnes in 2023, still largely fossil-derived, but low-emission hydrogen is rapidly scaling up. The green hydrogen market, valued at around USD 8 billion in 2024, is projected to soar to USD 60 billion by 2030, driven by strong policy tailwinds and expanding project pipelines across regions. Where the opportunities lie: - Decarbonising industry: Steel, cement, and chemicals like green ammonia and methanol. - Heavy transport: Hydrogen fuel-cell trucks and ships enabling long range and quick refuelling. - Energy storage: Converting surplus renewables into storable molecules. - Exports: Nations with low-cost renewables emerging as major green hydrogen exporters. Challenges to watch: Production costs remain high at >$3–$6/kg, making scaling and cheap renewables key. Electrolyser manufacturing, supply chains, and storage infrastructure still face execution and offtake risks. Tech & policy advances: Breakthroughs in AEM, PEM, and SOEC electrolysers are improving efficiency and reducing material costs. Global initiatives like the Hydrogen Shot and India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission aim to accelerate adoption through incentives and scale economics. Investor lens — where seafund looks: - Deeptech differentiation in electrolysers and balance-of-plant design. - Integrated projects combining renewables, electrolysis, and industrial offtake. - Infrastructure plays — refuelling, compression, and logistics networks. - Selective exposure across early R&D, proven integrators, and policy-enabled regions like India, Australia, and the Middle East. - Hydrogen is a multi-decade opportunity — early movers in tech innovation and infrastructure will define the future of clean energy.
