Hydrogen Editor, ICIS | Shaping the world by connecting markets to optimise global resources
Current #hydrogen market demand is roughly 90mt/year, and the issue from an energy transition perspective is that the majority of this demand is met by grey hydrogen. However, outside of policy and regulation that seeks to overcome this issue, there is a practical consideration here. Namely, how long, roughly, does the world's current grey hydrogen production fleet have left before decommissioning? Although there will be many drivers of the transition to low-carbon hydrogen, there is the fact that grey-hydrogen producers have invested large amounts of money to sell into the market, and if their plants have life left on them then this is money they will expect and need a return on if they are to operate. This scenario, as well as more such as what to expect of the future low-carbon hydrogen market from the supply side with autothermal reforming technology, is just a small part of a very interesting conversation with Johnson Matthey senior vice president for hydrogen and sustainable technologies Eugene McKenna in the latest episode of the ICIS Hydrogen Insights podcast.
