How hydrogen derivatives will drive demand

Transforming hydrogen into derivatives like ammonia, methanol and e-fuels can turn a point-to-point product into a more liquid, tradable commodity. Given this fuel’s energy density and transportability, the global trade in hydrogen derivatives has immense potential to connect regions with abundant renewable resources to those with high demand. Industrial applications can further expand the market, with related products expected to play a role in the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors through the provision of cleaner fuel alternatives. By leveraging existing infrastructure and established global markets, derivatives can reduce supply risks for off-takers and offer lenders greater certainty – both of which are key factors in securing project financing. Ultimately, this shift toward derivatives has the potential to unlock the demand depth and scale required for hydrogen to become a cornerstone of the low-carbon energy transition.
