The global hydrogen energy storage market was valued at $15.4 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $25.4 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2020 to 2027.

Hydrogen energy storage is the process to store the excess amount of energy through electrolysis. In this process, the hydrogen is separated from chemical solution. The hydrogen energy is stored in three form; liquid, solid, and gaseous form. To store hydrogen in gas form, it requires high-pressure tanks, whereas it can be stored in liquid form only under cryogenic temperature. Hydrogen storage is widely used in fuel cell technologies for stationary power and transport applications.

Growth in demand for hydrogen energy storage, utilizing excess electric energy, is expected to drive the market growth. Rise in prominence of hydrogen energy storage as a replacement of conventional fossil fuel energy is expected to foster the market growth. For example, in July 2018, Enbridge Gas Distribution, a distributor of natural gas in Canada, and Hydrogenics opened power-to-gas facility using the Markham hydrogen energy storage facility in Ontario, Canada. As governments across the globe are focusing more on sustainable power sources, the market is expected to witness steady growth during the forecast period. However, high capital cost of liquid hydrogen and solid hydrogen energy storage may negatively impact the market growth. Liquid hydrogen storage involves high insulation cost to prevent vaporization. Additionally, the storage cost of solid hydrogen remains same even at high volume. Nonetheless, incentive schemes from government and robust investment from industry players may slowly improve the market growth. For instance, in June 2019, Energy Storage Association, the US National Trade Association for energy storage, brought energy storage tax incentive and deployment act. According to this act, all energy storage technologies including hydrogen storage will be eligible for tax incentives.

The global hydrogen energy storage market is segmented on the basis of product type, application, end-user, and region. Based on product type, it is segmented into liquid, solid, and gas. Based on application, the market is classified into stationary power, portable power, transportation, and others. Based on end user, the market is segmented into industrial and commercial. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
