In the context of the global hydrogen market, North America currently holds a strong position. The region accounts for over 75% of global active capacity, with 1.4mtpa of low-carbon hydrogen production capacity currently in operation.

North America currently holds a strong position in the global hydrogen market, accounting for up to 75% of global active capacity. Although recent months have seen increased project activity from the APAC region, North America will continue to hold a significant share of the global hydrogen market with over 75mtpa of upcoming capacity, which represents 36% of total upcoming capacity. Canada will continue to lead the region’s hydrogen market, with GHI’s Spirit of Scotia project providing the country with a notable edge in terms of its production outlook, alone accounting for 43mtpa of capacity, making it the largest scale low-carbon hydrogen project in the world. The United States follows with 10mtpa of capacity across its active and upcoming projects. Meanwhile, Mexico remains a slow mover within the region’s hydrogen market, with just 94ktpa of capacity across all of its active and upcoming projects.
Transportation remains the dominant end-use sector for the region’s emerging low-carbon hydrogen market, with company announcements across active and upcoming projects indicating that up to 43mtpa of hydrogen capacity will be allocated to the transport sector. Hydrogen’s use within transportation will take place both domestically as well as low carbon hydrogen serving as valuable export to demand centres in Europe. Although hydrogen continues to struggle to compete with BEVs in the light vehicle segment, both Canada and the United States have been active in their support of pilots within the heavy transport sector ranging from buses, and trucks as well as hydrogen refuelling infrastructure for roads and airports. Although production volumes allocated to other sectors are lower, industries such as iron & steel are increasingly becoming focus sectors for hydrogen adoption.
Recent policy movements particularly from the United States have sent reverberations through both North America’s regional market as well as the global hydrogen market more broadly. Policies such as the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law have led to increased activity within the United States’ hydrogen economy, with tax credits as well as funding opportunities for hydrogen developers greatly boosting the economic viability of producing hydrogen in the coming years. Other important policy movements include Canada’s Clean Technology Investment Tax credit as well as its bid to become a leading supplier of low-carbon hydrogen through its pursuit of international trade agreements.

Scope

• North America’s low-carbon hydrogen capacity outlook

• Key regional projects

• Key companies operating in North America’s hydrogen market

• Hydrogen end use sectors

• Hydrogen policy in North America at both the national and regional level

• Deal activity related to hydrogen in North America

• Company filings analysis of North America headquartered companies

Key Highlights

Although the region is still set to experience a decline in terms of its capacity share, North America will continue to hold a strong standing. This will be particularly true in terms of its ability to scale production, with the largest project globally being based in Canada.

In a low case scenario with lower policy support, North America’s hydrogen capacity would reach 24.3mtpa by 2030.

The bulk of the region’s low-carbon hydrogen capacity is currently being attributed to the transportation sector. This is chiefly driven by the capacity of GHI’s Spirit of Scotia project, which will exclusively direct its 43mtpa of green hydrogen capacity towards the transportation sector.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
