Product Definition:
hydrogen production from natural gas is a process of producing hydrogen from methane. the main use of hydrogen produced from natural gas is for ammonia production.
Steam Reforming to Hydrogen Production:
The process of steam reforming to hydrogen production is carried out by heating natural gas to its vapor phase, which in turn produces a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The overall process is known as the reformation or hydration and takes place at high temperatures (around 800°C) within a water-cooled reactor.
Partial Oxidation Reforming of Natural Gas to Hydrogen Production:
Partial oxidation reforming of natural gas to hydrogen production and it's usage in natural gas hydrogen production market is a process where the carbon monoxide and other impurities are removed from the raw natural gas. The resultant clean raw material is then used for producing methanol, which has a high percentage of hydrogen content.
The partial oxidation reforming process can be carried out at atmospheric pressure or higher pressure (upstream).
Application Insights:
The general industry application segment led the market and accounted for more than 34.0% share of the global revenue in 2017 owing to rising demand from industrial applications such as metal working, oil refining, and cement manufacturing. The chemical segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for H2 from various end-use industries including pharmaceuticals, food & beverage processing, pulp & paper mills and fuel cells.
Natural gas reforming is one of the most efficient methods available for producing hydrogen on a commercial scale with high yield and low operating cost when compared with other sources of renewable energy such as solar or wind energy.
Regional Analysis:
North America accounted for the largest market share of more than 40% in 2017. The U.S., being a developed nation, has been witnessing high demand for hydrogen as an energy carrier owing to its increasing use in fuel cells across various industrial applications such as power generation, water treatment, and metal processing industries. In addition, growing oil & gas industry is expected to drive the regional market over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific natural gas hydrogen production market is anticipated to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from end-use industries coupled with rising investments by major players in this region. China led Asia Pacific regional market followed by Japan and India on account of their rapidly developing economies along with expanding end-use application scope that includes transportation sector and chemical manufacturing industry are projecteded boost growth prospects during the estimated time span of eight years till 2030 ending on 2018’s second quarter results).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for hydrogen as a fuel source in various end-use industries such as transportation, chemicals, and refining is expected to drive the growth of the natural gas hydrogen production market over the forecast period.
- Proliferation of shale gas reserves across North America is anticipated to provide an impetus to the growth of the market.
- Stringent environmental regulations pertaining to greenhouse gas emissions are expected to promote adoption of hydrogen as a cleaner alternative fuel, which in turn is likely to boost demand for natural gas hydrogen production over the forecast period.
- Technological advancements in membrane-based technologies for separating pure hydrogen from methane are projected to create new opportunities for players operating in this market during the forecast period.
