Refining: Oil refining has the largest current demand for hydrogen despite a growing interest in new sectors. The largest refining capacities are found in China, India, Japan, and South Korea. As refiners across the globe are looking for solutions to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their operations, it is a demand opportunity for low-carbon hydrogen to replace the grey hydrogen currently used in refineries.

Key Chemicals: Asia accounts for nearly half of the global ammonia sector’s hydrogen demand. China is the largest consumer in the world. Additionally, Asia is a major methanol producer.

Transportation: Japan will target the use of methylcyclohexane (MCH), ammonia, or methane as energy carriers and a dedicated shipping fleet for the country’s consumption. Currently, China is the third largest fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) market and the first for fuel cell trucks and buses in the world.

Power Sector: A great use of hydrogen is expected to be consumed by the power sector, creating an increasing demand.
