Australia and Japan Hydrogen Electrolyzer Market Dynamics
The market is propelled by the increasing demand for highly efficient & low-space energy storage systems to manage the electricity produced from solar, wind, and hydropower generation units and the growing demand for renewable energy with the surge in hydrogen technology development projects, government support, and initiatives. The easy availability of alternatives, such as natural gas, electric charging stations, etc., may hamper the market's growth.
Rising demand for highly efficient and low-space-utilizing energy storage systems coupled with government funding and support
Increasing demand for highly efficient and low-space energy storage systems to operate hydrogen electrolyzers from renewable energy sources like solar and wind is a primary factor driving the Australian and Japanese hydrogen electrolyzers market during the forecast period. For instance, in 2019, the Australian Government and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) announced around US$ 50 million in funding to fast-track the development of renewable hydrogen projects in Australia. ARENA’s hydrogen funding is expected to play a vital role in supporting commercial-scale deployments of renewable hydrogen in Australia. Furthermore, the increasing launch of compact-size common space-required hydrogen electrolyzers has propelled the market growth.
Growing demand for renewable energy with the surge in hydrogen technology development projects, government support, and initiatives
Due to its extreme mountainous terrain and seismic activity, most of Australia's hydrogen exports to Japan make it unsuitable for developing sustainable renewable energy. Hence, Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain is a joint Japanese-Australian project created to establish a durable supply of liquid hydrogen from Australia to be used as fuel in Japan.
Easy availability of alternatives
Easy availability of alternate renewable energy sources, such as natural gas and electric battery charging stations, with rising utilization of these resources, may hamper the hydrogen electrolyzer market's growth. For instance, as per the International Energy Agency Organization, in 2019, the total estimated natural gas production reached 21 billion cubic meters in Australia, whereas the full export of natural gas from Australia reached 19 BCM. It may hamper the growth of the hydrogen electrolyzer market.
Australia and Japan Hydrogen Electrolyzer Market Segmentation Analysis
By end-user, the hydrogen electrolyzer market for Australia and Japan is segmented into automotive, electricity, pharmaceutical & biotechnology, metal, glass, hospitals, hospitality industry, government offices, schools, colleges & universities, and others.
Rising demand for sustainable energy
Increasing demand for clean and green sustainable energy with the help of renewable energy sources for hydrogen production in Australia and Japan has propelled the hydrogen electrolyzer market segmental growth. For instance, in 2018, NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization) launched a project in agreement with Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Obayashi construction firm to supply electricity and heat for urban areas, which uses hydrogen as a fuel to support sustainable development.
Thus it created a massive demand for hydrogen production with the help of the hydrogen electrolyzer in this region. Further, the increasing demand for hydrogen as a fuel for the Olympic Games to supply electricity in Japan has propelled the need for the hydrogen electrolyzer market.
Australia and Japan Hydrogen Electrolyzer Market Geographical Share
The growing electricity demand in Australia
Australia has the maximum market share for the growth of the hydrogen electrolyzer market. It is primarily due to the rising demand for electricity generation using renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, etc. For instance, according to the clean energy council organization report, Australia's largest renewable energy production capacity reached approximately 2.2 GW across 34 projects in 2019. Among these, solar energy has the highest, with more than two-thirds of renewable energy contribution. Thus, hydrogen electrolyzer has created enormous demand in this country to use and store such a huge amount of the electricity generated through renewable energy sources.
