Global demand of hydrogen energy has seen a trajectory growth and is targeted to reach 530 million tonnes per annum by 2050. Due to its versatility and environmental friendly nature, hydrogen is making a significant in-road into clean energy transition as a net-zero emissions fuel in transport, building and power generation sectors. Advancements in carbon capture, usage and storage technologies, and the continued reduction in production costs together with decarbonize policies worldwide, has resulted in a major uptake in clean hydrogen feedstock in the mining and industrial sectors.
Supplying hydrogen to industrial users is now a major business around the world. Competition on supply is likely to stiffen with developments of passenger and heavy-duty fuel-cell vehicles, which is expected to hit 5 million by 2030. The aviation, rail and shipping industries are also gearing up to embrace hydrogen energy, as a zero-emission fuel of the future. Hydrogen applications in the iron and steel industry, power generation, off-grid and power-backup, and a blending agent for natural gas are equally gaining momentum. The time is right for Southeast-Asia countries to tap into hydrogen's potential to play a key role as an environmental friendly, safe and affordable energy to unlock new opportunities in power, transportation, mining and industrial sectors.
