1. World Hydrogen to 2016
This study analyzes the world hydrogen industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2001,
2006 and 2011, and forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by market (e.g., petroleum refining, chemical
manufacturing), source (captive, merchant), world region and major country. The study also considers
market environment factors,
Global demand to rise 4.1% annually through 2016
Global demand for hydrogen is forecast to expand 4.1 percent per annum through 2016 to 286 billion
cubic meters valued at $43.2 billion. Growth in hydrogen demand will benefit from strong activity in the
petroleum sector, its principal consumer, where increasing demand for low sulfur fuels in response to
stricter environmental regulations will increase the amount of hydrogen required to produce them.
Favorable demand fundamentals for hydrogen also exist in chemical manufacturing applications, and
production of semiconductors, float glass, metal components and food processing.
Merchant market poised for growth while captive consumption dominates
Petroleum refineries around the world are consuming greater quantities of hydrogen and this represents
the most significant opportunity to merchant suppliers of the gas. Of the 52.3 billion cubic meters of
overall demand growth in hydrogen by 2016, 35 percent will be met by merchant suppliers. Merchant and
on-purpose hydrogen generated by oil refineries will still account for 78 percent of worldwide hydrogen
consumption in 2016. Nonrefinery applications for hydrogen combined for 21 percent of total consumption
in 2011. Of this, chemical manufacturing (exclusive of ammonia and methanol production) accounted for
12 percent; the remaining 9 percent was accounted for by other manufacturing processes and non-
manufacturing applications. Nonchemical manufacturing industries that use hydrogen include float glass,
metal components, semiconductors, and food processing.

Asia/Pacific region to be leading hydrogen market
The rapid growth of many economies in the Asia/Pacific region -- especially those of China and India --
will make this region the world’s largest hydrogen consumer by 2013. Western Europe is third among the
world’s hydrogen consumers. In the Central and South American region, above average growth in
hydrogen consumption will be led by the Brazilian economy; in Eastern Europe the economies of Russia,

2. Ukraine, Poland and Romania will lead the region in hydrogen gains; and growth in the Africa/Mideast
region will be led by the oil-rich economies of Saudi Arabia and Iran, as well as the growing industrialized
economies of South Africa and Turkey.
Hydrogen economy gains a foothold
The phrase “hydrogen economy” refers to programs or initiatives aimed at using hydrogen as an energy
carrier to replace hydrocarbon fuels and reduce emissions produced by their consumption. Technologies
such as fuel cells developed for cars, buses, power generation and other applications, along with the
infrastructural implications of their broad and increasing use, are being demonstrated in many countries
around the world. Although the market impact of global, massive deployment of the hydrogen economy
on hydrogen demand is beyond the time horizon of this report, activities related to the hydrogen economy
are covered on a country by country basis, where applicable
