The Europe hydrogen compressor market was valued at US$ 438.68 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 612.08 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 4.3% from 2022 to 2030.
Rising Investments in Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Generation Projects Worldwide Boost Europe Hydrogen Compressor Market
With rising urbanization and rapid industrial growth, energy consumption across the globe has proliferated. Thus, to meet this huge demand for power, there is a rapid increase in the launch of hydrogen-generated power projects. According to the Ember Climate Organization, total global energy demand reached ~13,393 TWh in the first quarter of 2022, an increase from 13,004 TWh compared to 2021. Such an increase in demand for energy and power, owing to rising residential and industrial manufacturing requirements, is driving the demand for hydrogen compressors. Renewable energy plays a significant role in making electricity. Per the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global demand for electricity is anticipated to increase by 2.1% annually by 2040. Therefore, development in the renewable energy & power sector is surging the demand for power generation projects worldwide, thereby boosting the demand for hydrogen compressors.
There is a rise in investments in the renewable energy sector due to increased government initiatives and funding, which promotes the adoption of hydrogen compressors. Per the IEA, global investments in the renewable energy sector reached US$ 358.0 billion in the first six months of 2023, an increase of 22% rise compared to the start of last year and an all-time high for any six months. Renewable energy companies compared to last year, 2022. The venture capital firms and private equity companies are expanding their operations in the renewable energy sector, reaching US$ 10.4 billion in the first quarter of 2023. China accounted for the largest market share in the first quarter of 2023, with investment reaching US$ 177 billion, increased by 16% compared to the first quarter of 2022. Also, the US secured an investment of ~US$ 36 billion, followed by Germany, with an investment of US$ 11.9 billion for the expansion of the renewable energy sector. Further, many hydrogen production projects are being launched due to government support and funding. According to the International Energy Agency Organization and McKinsey Report, globally, more than 680 large-scale investment projects announced with investments of US$ 240 billion by 2022. The report estimates that investment is expected to reach US$ 700 billion by 2030 to achieve the net-zero target. Also, investment in building hydrogen fuel stations across the globe is rising, owing to a surge in investments in fuel cell technology by private equity firms and venture capital. For instance, in March 2022, H2 Mobility Germany's fueling station network planned an investment of US$ 121 million for the next five years for building the hydrogen infrastructure for fuel cell vehicles in the country. Thus, rising investments in renewable energy and hydrogen generation projects owing to government support and funding are anticipated to create ample opportunity for the market growth in the coming years.
Europe Hydrogen Compressor Market Overview
Europe is growing moderately with government support and initiatives for clean hydrogen production. From 2021 to 2027, the EU government's budget announced an investment of ~US$ 578 billion for climate spending. The European Commission also launched a budget of US$ 847.2 billion for the production of renewable hydrogen from the climate change innovation fund. Hydrogen compressor is widely used in renewable energy with government support and initiatives. Rising investments across the oil & gas industry further drive the Europe hydrogen compressor market growth. The region's oil & gas sector has several giant projects across the region, creating massive demand for hydrogen compressors. A few of the projects include Johan Sverdrup and Johan Castberg oil field Development in Norway, Lochnagar and Rosebank oil and gas exploration in the UK, and Aphrodite Gas Field in Cyprus. Also, several projects of hydrogen electrolyzers were launched in Europe with capacities of 441 MW in several countries, such as Italy, Germany, Cyprus, and Greece. Hydrogen compressors are used in hydrogen electrolysis projects to store the generated energy efficiently. Thus, this compressor is an optimal choice for energy & power projects. Apart from energy & power, utilities, food & beverages, and chemical industries are also growing efficiently in Europe. Also, there is a rise in renewable energy projects in order to reduce energy costs. For instance, in 2022, Amazon Inc. planned an investment of ~US$ 2.5 billion for adding 39 new renewable energy projects across European countries. The company planned to add over 1 GW of clean energy capacity to Europe's grid. Amazon also planned more than 160 solar and wind energy projects across 13 countries, including Germany, France, Italy, Poland, and other countries in Europe. These projects are expected to offer 5.8 GW of clean energy capacity, powering 4.7 million European residents annually. The EU Commission planned to invest more than US$ 550 billion for the hydrogen production. Hydrogen compressor is used as a major component in hydrogen gas production. It is used as a renewable, clean, zero-emission energy.
