The Hydrogen IC Engine market was valued at approximately USD 12 Billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of around 10% during the forecast period (2024-2032). The growth of the Hydrogen IC Engine Market is driven by rising demand for eco-friendly transportation solutions and advancements in hydrogen fueling infrastructure.
A hydrogen combustion engine is one of the internal combustion engines that uses hydrogen as the primary fuel. Hydrogen can be burned in the engine as with gasoline or diesel fuel although with the added benefit of no carbon emissions, only steam. This awareness has been prompted by an increased focus on emissions reduction and enhancement of sustainability within transport and manufacturing industries. Hydrogen combustion engines can be adopted in transport, electricity generation, and large machinery industries. These engines are likely to have vital applications in industries that are beyond the range dominance of battery-electric vehicles such as long-haul trucks, airplanes, and cargo ships. The use of hydrogen engines to develop power generation solutions is expected to contribute to the concept of clean energy by providing an opportunity to generate electricity that is not dependent on fossil fuel.
Rising demand for clean energy and the enhancement of government support towards hydrogen in combustion applications are expected to fuel the utilization of hydrogen combustion engine technology in the coming years. Increased demand for hydrogen infrastructure investments, improvement in engines’ physical design, and their ability to support renewable energy sources also positively influence the expansion of the concerned market. This technology is expected to grow further as organizations try to move away from the traditional fossil fuel sources.
This section discusses the key market trends influencing the hydrogen IC engine market segments as identified by our research experts.
Gas Segment Transforming Industry
The gas segment emerged as the largest segment in 2023. Liquid hydrogen is less used due to some challenges experienced when storing and handling it besides refueling; gaseous hydrogen on the other hand is easier to handle as it does not require being in the liquid state and this is at cryogenic temperatures. Storage tanks and fueling stations for gaseous hydrogen have been developed significantly to some extent when compared to liquid hydrogen, and this infrastructure supports the use of more hydrogen ICE vehicles. Further, hydrogen in gaseous form generally comes cheaper as it does not require the complex cooling solutions as liquid hydrogen does. This makes it a popular option for both the manufacturing industries and users especially as the structure of hydrogen fueling remains dynamic. But in the future with the development of new technology, LH2 may come into use more frequently in certain specific areas with high energy density needed.
North America is Expected to Dominate the Market During the Forecast Period
North America dominates the hydrogen combustion engine market and has the greatest percentage of the market segment now. This is due to the expansion of Research and Development which aims to create high-innovation solutions and to meet consumer demand. In addition, the US government has implemented programs for renewable energy for the development of the market throughout the region. OEMs in the USA off-highway spaces are getting ready for more calls for further decarbonization. Global mining giants have established ambitious decarbonization targets over the past two years, targeting net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions. In addition, 15 USA states, including California, have adopted extra requirements that trigger electric truck production to 30% by 2030. Based on these factors, the size of the hydrogen combustion engine market is projected to increase. Consumers are indeed paying more attention to the application of hydrogen combustion engines due to their versatility and their versatility in various uses as fuel. Also, they are favored because they can also be reduced to the state of gas or liquefied form to cut transport costs. The key players are considering replacing it with blue or green hydrogen, which is expected to bring down carbon emissions significantly.
The hydrogen IC engine market is competitive, with several global and international market players. The key players are adopting different growth strategies to enhance their market presence, such as partnerships, agreements, collaborations, new product launches, geographical expansions, and mergers and acquisitions. Some of the major players operating in the market are Wärtsilä, Garrett Motion Inc., BeHydro, Deutz AG, Man Energy Solutions, Cummins Inc, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd, Toyota Motor Corporation, Mazda Motor Corporation, and Reliance Industries Limited.
For Instance, in July 2024, Triton EV's hydrogen engine marks a significant advancement in automotive technology. Utilizing hydrogen as a clean and abundant fuel source, this innovative engine produces zero carbon emissions. Unlike traditional gasoline engines, which emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
