電解技術の進歩は、より効率的でコスト効率が高く、持続可能な水素製造方法を提供することで、水素製造市場に革命をもたらしています。従来の電解では、電気を使って水分子を水素と酸素に分解します。プロトン交換膜（PEM）電解や固体酸化物電解セル（SOEC）といった最近の技術革新は、水素製造の効率と拡張性を大幅に改善しました。例えばPEM電解は、より高い圧力と温度で作動するため、反応速度が速くなり、エネルギー消費量が少なくなります。

バリューチェーンにおけるエネルギー損失

バリューチェーンにおけるエネルギーロスは、水素生成市場の成長にとって大きな課題となっています。水素製造には、抽出や電気分解から圧縮、輸送に至るまでいくつかの段階があり、それぞれにエネルギーロスが生じやすいです。例えば、水蒸気メタン改質のような従来の方法では、原料の転換や輸送の際にエネルギーロスが発生します。同様に、電気分解はグリーン水素製造に有望ではあるが、発電と変換時に効率ロスが生じる。こうしたロスは水素製造の全体効率を低下させるだけでなく、コストを上昇させ、化石燃料に対する水素の競争力を低下させる。

COVID-19の影響：

当初、市場は、ウイルスの蔓延を抑えるために行われた封鎖や制限により、サプライチェーンや製造工程に混乱をきたしました。そのため、パンデミックは、小規模な事業者や顧客の間で需要が減少し、資金繰りが苦しくなったことから、水素生成の世界市場に影響を与えました。しかし、パンデミックはクリーンエネルギー源の重要性を浮き彫りにし、持続可能な代替エネルギーとしての水素への関心と投資の増加につながった。

予測期間中、バイオマス分野が最大となる見込み

バイオマス分野は、持続可能で再生可能な水素製造源を提供することで、予測期間中に最大となる見込みです。農業残渣、林業廃棄物、有機都市固形廃棄物などの有機物から得られるバイオマスは、ガス化、熱分解、発酵などの様々な熱化学的・生化学的プロセスを通じて水素に変換することができます。このアプローチは、化石燃料に代わる信頼性の高い代替燃料を提供するだけでなく、温室効果ガスの排出削減にも役立つため、環境問題にも対処できます。

部分酸化セグメントは予測期間中最も高いCAGRが見込まれる

部分酸化分野は、予測期間中に最も高いCAGRが見込まれます。部分酸化は、通常触媒の存在下で炭化水素を酸素と反応させ、水素ガスを発生させる。このプロセスには、高い変換効率、原料選択の多様性、水蒸気メタン改質のような従来の方法に比べて比較的低い運転コストなど、いくつかの利点があります。さらに、POXは天然ガス、石炭、バイオマスなど多様な原料を利用できるため、地理的・経済的背景の違いにも適応できます。

最大のシェアを持つ地域：

風力発電や太陽光発電のような再生可能エネルギーを利用することで、グリーン水素製造は炭素排出を大幅に削減します。この進歩は、環境への懸念に対処するだけでなく、エネルギー・ミックスを多様化することで、エネルギーの独立性と安全保障を促進します。さらに、グリーン水素の拡張性と汎用性により、同地域全域で輸送や発電を含む様々なセクターの脱炭素化に向けた有望なソリューションとなっています。

CAGRが最も高い地域：

欧州地域は、予測期間中に有益な成長を遂げると思われます。より厳しい排出目標とカーボンニュートラルの追求が、各国政府による水素技術の地域的導入へのインセンティブを後押ししています。欧州グリーンディールや各国の水素戦略などの政策は、研究開発やインフラ整備に資金を割り当て、技術革新と市場成長を促進しています。さらに、規制の枠組みは投資家に確実性を提供し、地域全体で水素の生産と流通を拡大するための民間セクターの関与を促しています。
