What Are The Essential Drivers Behind The Growth Of The Brown Hydrogen Market?
The growth of the brown hydrogen market is expected to be fueled by the increasing demand for ammonia production. Ammonia, a colorless gas with a distinctive smell, is integral to various industries, including agriculture, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. This production process can utilize brown hydrogen, which is derived from the gasification of coal and subsequently purified and combined with nitrogen to synthesize ammonia. An illustration of this is highlighted by the World Economic Forum, a Switzerland-based non-profit organization, which noted in July 2022 that the demand for ammonia will likely surge by roughly 40% by 2050. This growth is spurred by escalating fertilizer requirements in regions like Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Consequently, the growing need for ammonia production bolsters the expansion of the brown hydrogen market.
