Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is hydrogen generation? A1: Hydrogen generation refers to producing hydrogen gas through processes like steam methane reforming, coal gasification, and electrolysis, used as fuel and industrial feedstock.

Q2: Which technology leads hydrogen production? A2: Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) dominates, accounting for approximately 62% of global production due to cost-effectiveness and established infrastructure.

Q3: What are the main sources of hydrogen? A3: Grey hydrogen (from fossil fuels without carbon capture) currently dominates, but blue hydrogen (with carbon capture) and green hydrogen (from renewables) are gaining market share.

Q4: Which regions are driving hydrogen market growth? A4: Asia-Pacific leads in market share, while North America is the fastest-growing region, followed by significant expansion in Europe.

Q5: What are the main challenges in hydrogen generation? A5: High production costs, especially for green hydrogen, and limited infrastructure for storage and distribution are key restraints.
