Current status of hydrogen industry market
1. The proportion of hydrogen production methods
At present, the mainstream choice of global hydrogen production technology is hydrogen production from fossil energy, mainly due to the low cost of hydrogen production from fossil energy. Among them, hydrogen production from natural gas reforming has good cleanliness, high efficiency and relatively low cost, accounting for 48% of the global total. %. my country's energy structure is "rich coal and less gas", and the cost of hydrogen production from coal is lower than that of natural gas production. Therefore, domestic coal production accounts for the largest proportion of 62%, followed by natural gas hydrogen production accounting for 19%.
2. Hydrogen production and demand
(1) Output
With the accelerated development of my country's hydrogen energy industry, the application of hydrogen energy is becoming more and more extensive. In this context, hydrogen production continues to grow. China Business Industry Research Institute predicts that my country's hydrogen production will be nearly 20 million tons in 2019, and will exceed 28 million tons by 2022.
(2) Demand
According to the forecast of the authoritative organization China Hydrogen Energy Alliance, under the carbon neutrality goal of 2060, by 2030, the annual demand for hydrogen in my country will reach 37.15 million tons, accounting for about 5% of the final energy consumption. By 2060, my country's annual hydrogen demand will increase to about 130 million tons, accounting for about 20% of final energy consumption. Among them, the proportion of hydrogen used in the industrial sector is still the largest, accounting for 60% of the total demand.
