Hydrogen as a Chemical Constituent and as an Energy Source

Bharatbook added a new report on "Hydrogen as a Chemical Constituent and as an Energy Source " which gives the in-depth analysis and forecast on Hydrogen as a Chemical Constituent and as an Energy Source

The U.S. market for hydrogen as a chemical constituent and as an energy source was valued at $22 billion in 2010. This market is expected to increase at a 3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach a value of $25.5 billion in 2015.

The refining segment of the U.S. market was valued at $9 billion in 2010. This market is expected to increase at an 8.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach a value of $13.5 billion in 2015.

Total world production of hydrogen as a chemical constituent and as an energy source was valued at $120 billion in 2010. This market is expected to increase at a 6.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach a value of $163 billion in 2015.

Additional Information

INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

The purpose of this report is to measure and forecast the demand for hydrogen as a chemical constituent and as an energy source. The report defines individual markets and technical applications for hydrogen. In regard to cutting-edge developments, areas such as nanotechnology and biological processing, where considerable research dollars have been expended, are covered.

Among the key trends in the hydrogen business are pipeline development and plant modernization. Hundreds of millions of dollars in projects to build new hydrogen production facilities, and new pipelines, have been announced in the last several years. Coincidentally, though, there have been significant cutbacks in government funding for hydrogen-related research.

SCOPE OF STUDY

This BCC study focuses on key hydrogen technologies and applications. It provides data about the size and growth of both captive and merchant hydrogen markets, company profiles, patent trends and industry trends. Cutting-edge developments, research priorities, and potential business opportunities are a key focus.

The report focuses on the following:

The structure of the hydrogen industry, its driving forces, competitive aspects, market segmentation, distribution channels, pricing, and technology.
Analysis of global market trends, with data for 2009, estimates for 2010, and projections of compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) through 2015.
Assessment of hydrogen demand, with 5-year forecasts.
Reviews of global environmental and energy regulations.
Company profiles.
Patent activity.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

With its broad scope and in-depth analyses, this study will prove to be a valuable resource, particularly for anyone involved with or interested in hydrogen as a chemical intermediate or an energy resource. It will be particularly useful for researchers and laboratory and government personnel working in research or company settings as well as business professionals such as marketing managers, strategic planners, forecasters, new product and business developers who are involved with most aspects of the hydrogen industry. It also will be of value to potential investors and members of the general public who are interested in acquiring a business-oriented view of the use of hydrogen in practical applications. The projections, forecasts, and trend analyses found in this report provide readers with the necessary data and information for decision-making.

METHODOLOGY

Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this study. Research methodology was both quantitative and qualitative in nature, the latter relying on Delphi-style forecasting techniques. Initially, a comprehensive and exhaustive search of academic literature discussing hydrogen applications was conducted. These secondary sources include hydrogen and fuel cell journals and related books, trade literature, marketing literature, other product/promotional literature, annual reports, security analyst reports, and other publications. A patent search and analysis was conducted. Other sources include magazines, academics, technology suppliers, technical experts, trade association officials, government officials, and consulting companies.

INFORMATION SOURCES

As is the case with most industries and economic sectors, data resources analyzing the applications and markets for hydrogen have become vast. There are numerous peer reviewed, referred journals devoted solely to hydrogen technology, not to mention environmental journals that report on larger systems issues or strategic/economic issues in environmental management. Data sources that were employed include press releases on company websites covering application news, company news, marketing news, and product news as well as brochures, product literature, magazines, technical journals, technical books, marketing and other promotional literature, annual reports, security analyst reports, and other hydrogen-specific business digest publications. An extensive patent analysis was conducted to gauge technological innovation and to determine research activity as it applies to new product development.
