Dublin, March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "U.S. Green Hydrogen Market for Mobility - A Regional Analysis: Focus on Hydrogen Infrastructure and Refuelling Stations" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The U.S. Green Hydrogen Market for Mobility is gaining traction as policy incentives, infrastructure investments, and advancements in electrolyzer and fuel cell technologies converge. By 2025, the combination of clean hydrogen production and expanding hydrogen refueling infrastructure is set to accelerate adoption of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) across multiple segments - from passenger cars to heavy-duty commercial trucks. Moreover, growing corporate and government commitments to decarbonize transportation will reinforce this shift, with hydrogen offering a zero-emission solution for longer ranges and heavy payloads.
Looking further, policy measures (like the Inflation Reduction Act) and regional hydrogen hubs will help reduce green hydrogen costs, making it increasingly price-competitive with conventional fuels. By the early 2030s, large-scale projects in wind- and solar-rich regions are projected to supply cost-effective green hydrogen, fostering robust ecosystem growth that caters not only to vehicles but also to other mobility applications such as rail, marine, and aviation.
Segmentation by Application
- Passenger FCEVs
- Expanding fuel cell models from OEMs, focused on personal cars and SUVs.
- Early growth primarily in states like California, with new incentives potentially broadening adoption.
- Commercial FCEVs (Trucks and Buses)
- Fleet applications (municipal transit, logistics, heavy-duty trucking) benefit from hydrogen's rapid refueling and extended range.
- Pilot deployments in major freight corridors to test feasibility and scale.
- Confined Space Equipment (Forklifts, Cargo Handlers, etc.)
- Warehouses and ports adopt hydrogen to enhance productivity (quick refueling, zero emissions).
- Ongoing expansions with large retail distribution centers.
- Hydrogen Locomotives
- Emerging rail sector applications for lower-emission freight and passenger rail in specific corridors.
- Marine
- Ranging from small ferries to larger vessels in pilot phases; focuses on port-based hydrogen bunkering infrastructure.
- Aviation (Including Air-Side Vehicles)
- Primarily ground support equipment and short-haul plane prototypes; benefits from on-site electrolysis for fueling.
Segmentation by Design Type
- Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolyzer: Suited for dynamic operations, matching intermittent renewables.
- Alkaline Electrolyzer: Generally cost-effective, well-established design.
- Anion Exchange Membrane: Emerging technology with potential lower-cost catalysts.
- Solid Oxide Electrolyzer: High-temperature operation for high efficiency, typically coupled with industrial processes.
Segmentation by Renewable Energy Source
- Wind Energy: Large-scale projects in states with strong wind resources (e.g., Midwest).
- Solar Energy: PV-based electrolysis, popular in the Southwest where solar irradiance is high.
- Others: Could include hydropower or geothermal in niche regions.
Key Players in the U.S. Green Hydrogen Market include:
- Linde plc
- Air Liquide
- Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.
- Plug Power Inc.
- Olin Corporation
- Cummins Inc.
- Invenergy
- Bloom Energy
- Chevron
- Ballard Power Systems
Market Dynamics
- A prominent trend is state- and federal-backed hydrogen hub initiatives that cluster production, distribution, and consumption in designated regions. By co-locating electrolyzer facilities near large fleet operations (e.g., logistics, transit authorities), stakeholders reduce transportation costs, ensuring consistent hydrogen supply and fueling infrastructure scale-up.
- Increasing net-zero transportation commitments at federal and corporate levels push the adoption of hydrogen vehicles as a zero-emission alternative for long-haul trucking and fleet vehicles. The combination of robust policy incentives, especially from the Inflation Reduction Act, and growing consumer awareness ensures continued momentum for building out green hydrogen supply chains.
- Despite progress, the lack of widespread hydrogen refueling infrastructure remains a major obstacle. Even with policy backing, deploying stations demands high upfront capital investment, complex permitting, and a nascent distribution network - creating a chicken-and-egg dilemma for broad FCEV adoption.
- Heavy-duty and commercial fleet applications offer a significant early-growth opportunity. These segments often feature set routes, centralized depots, and corporate sustainability targets, making it easier to justify hydrogen investments. Scalable hydrogen fueling solutions at distribution centers or cargo hubs can jumpstart volumetric demand and support broader market expansion.
