CEH: Hydrogen

Apr 2021. Hydrogen is produced in large quantities both as a principal product and as a by-product. Hydrogen producers may consume the product captively, sell it to end users, sell it to a company that specializes in marketing industrial gases, burn it for fuel, or vent it to the atmosphere. Hydrogen consumers may buy hydrogen from an industrial gas company or a by-product producer, use internally generated by-product hydrogen, or install a hydrogen plant on-site. In some cases, a company will generate crude by-product hydrogen that is purchased and purified by an industrial gas company and then sold back to the original generating company. Growth in the hydrogen market is driven primarily by large-scale applications such as ammonia and methanol production, petroleum refining, and metals applications. Emerging use of hydrogen as energy carrier, either directly in fuel cells or as heating fuel, or indirectly in the production of renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oils [HVO]), green ammonia, or green methanol, are emerging and fast-growing end-use segments, albeit from fairly small levels.
