Forecasts taken from IDTechEx report "Blue Hydrogen Production and Markets 2023-2033: Technologies, Forecasts, Players"

H.B. Fuller spoke to IDTechEx about its EV Protect line of encapsualting foams for fire protection and other functions in an EV battery pack.

ITM Power Plc are a UK-based company developing and manufacturing proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers.

IDTechEx forecast that the water electrolyzer market will grow to over US$120B by 2033. There has been renewed interest in the development of clean and green hydrogen industries.

The rapid growth of the electric vehicle market has driven the development, manufacture and sales of batteries, especially lithium-ion batteries, which are dominating the battery industry for a decade.

FreeWire Technologies is a manufacturer of battery-integrated EV charging stations and power solutions in the US. The company's "Boost Charger" plugs into existing and ubiquitous low-voltage utility service and delivers high-power charging in areas that typically require extensive grid upgrades.

Shell plc (formerly known as Royal Dutch Shell) is a British multinational oil and gas company. This company profile outlines Shell's blue hydrogen production process.

Plug Power are a publicly listed US-based company developing and manufacturing PEM fuel cells and electrolyzers, as well as hydrogen storage, refuelling and transport equipment and services.

Beyond Li-ion batteries, and battery technology generally, there are a range of electrochemical technologies that can play a role in global decarbonisation. This premium article will give an introduction to electrolysers, fuel cells and electrochemical reactors for CO2 reduction.

Membrane materials are of fundamental importance for fuel cells. So significant, in fact, that they typically give their name to the fuel cell, as is the case for Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells, with IDTechEx forecasting the market for ion-exchange membranes in PEM fuel cells to be worth over USD$1.1 billion by 2033.

IDTechEx caught up with Blue World Technologies, a new manufacturer of methanol fuel cells using high temperature PEM and reformer technology.

Blue hydrogen production using biomass has the potential to produce carbon-negative hydrogen as CO2 is pulled from the atmosphere via photosynthesis and is later released during gasification but captured and stored underground. This premium article provides an overview of the technologies that can be used to convert biomass and bio-based feedstocks into hydrogen.

Bloom Energy are a US company seeking to commercialise their solid-oxide fuel cells and electrolyzers.

Given the rapid increase in forecast demand for Li-ion batteries, there has been significant growth in the number of gigafactories being planned and announced over the past 2-3 years. IDTechEx analysis shows that current plans and announcements for new cell production capacity will reach 3 TWh by 2030.

Thursday 9 February 2023 - Shaking Up Urban Transport Worldwide. The following aspects will be discussed in greater depth: Drivers behind uptake of Micro EVs; Electric two-wheelers: major markets, players, and benchmarking; Electric three-wheelers: major markets, players, and benchmarking; Microcar characteristics; and Battery chemistry trends

Johnson Matthey (JM) is a British multinational company supplying catalysts, chemical process equipment, and a wide range of other services and products. This profile focuses on JM's offering within the blue hydrogen field.

The maritime sector, which accounts for approximately 2.9% of global carbon emissions, is seeking to meet broader climate goals such as the Paris Agreement and 'Fit for 55' in Europe. Since it is the largest vessels, such as sea-going cargo vessels, which tend to contribute the most to maritime emissions, this presents a huge challenge.

The energy crisis and decarbonization requirements speed up the process of finding alternative solutions, and energy storage plays an important role in applications such as electric vehicle applications and renewable energy.

Genvia is a French public/private joint venture that is developing solid oxide electrolyzers.
