Clean Hydrogen Market Report by Technology (Alkaline Electrolyzer, PEM Electrolyzer, SOE Electrolyzer), End User (Transport, Power Generation, Industrial, and Others), and Region 2025-2033

The global clean hydrogen market size reached USD 1.9 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 6.1 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 13.01% during 2025-2033. The clean hydrogen market is rapidly expanding, driven by stringent government policies, advancements in electrolysis technology, and increasing private sector investments, positioning hydrogen as a key component in achieving global net-zero emissions and transforming energy, transportation, and industrial sectors.

Clean hydrogen refers to hydrogen that is obtained through sustainable procedures and is instrumental in reducing the level of carbon emissions. Clean hydrogen can be produced through electrolysis powered by renewable sources (green hydrogen) or through steam methane reforming combined with carbon capture and storage (CCS) (blue hydrogen). The main advantage of clean hydrogen is its ability to produce and consume clean fuels without releasing direct greenhouse gas (GHG) or pollutants emissions, along with the availability of a wide range of clean production pathways. Additionally, hydrogen produced with biomass or biogas and carbon management technologies would result in negative emissions, thus removing traces of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the atmosphere. Clean hydrogen finds extensive applications in the refining and chemicals industries, power generation and energy storage, automobile, and heavy machinery.

Clean Hydrogen Market Trends:

The market is majorly driven by the escalating demand for carbon alternative fuels across the globe. This can be attributed to the growing environmental concerns regarding increasing carbon emissions from fossil fuel usage contributed from a wide range of end-use industries. Moreover, favorable policies and initiatives undertaken by government bodies of several countries supporting hydrogen economy are providing an impetus to the market. The augmenting demand for clean hydrogen for charging fuel cell vehicles (FCV) to curb emissions from vehicles and minimize air pollution is also creating lucrative opportunities for clean hydrogen in transportation applications. The market is further propelled by a continual increase in fuel prices, along with increasing concerns regarding fossil fuel depletion. Apart from this, the rising awareness regarding global warming and climate change among the masses is creating a positive market outlook. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid industrialization, inflating disposable income levels, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players.
