Hydrogen Economy - Key Disruptive Forces for Global Transition to Sustainable Energy

Hydrogen Economy - Key Disruptive Forces for Global Transition to Sustainable Energy

Summary

With intensified discussions around net-zero by 2050, hydrogen jumps to the top of the global agenda. The growing pressure on countries and companies for zero carbon emissions and the declining hydrogen production costs are the key factors driving investments into renewable hydrogen, fuel cells, hydrogen carriers, and advanced storage materials. GlobalData's FutureTech Series Report, ‘Hydrogen economy: key disruptive forces for the global transition to sustainable energy’, categorizes key innovation areas in hydrogen as emerging, accelerating, and maturing based on their rate of growth in innovation. It also casts light on patent grants, major geographies, top players, and recent developments in emerging innovation areas, such as microbial biomass hydrogen, proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, hydrogen internal combustion engines (ICEs), liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), and hydrogen storage graphene nanocrystals. The awareness, knowledge, and expertise on these innovation areas can transform business models, decision-making, and strategic thinking that directly influence research and development, collaboration, acquisition, and investment decisions.
