Hydrogen Practice Area
Hydrogen is the first practice area at SEP and was an outgrowth from our innovation reporting.
Clean hydrogen has become critical for the global energy transition to reach net-zero by 2050 by addressing hard-to-abate sectors. Hydrogen consumption may increase by 5x from current levels over the next 30 years.
Today’s North American $25 billion gray hydrogen market consumes 15 million metric tons and contributes 2-3% of the North American CO2 footprint. Clean hydrogen solutions are needed to replace gray hydrogen production and meet the needs for new markets such as mobility, steelmaking, industrial heat and energy storage.
The market is expanding quickly, driven by aggressive incentives, innovation and recently announced projects – but many companies lack the data they need to make informed investment decisions. Recently, the US Department of Energy awarded $7 billion to seven US hydrogen hubs and the US Inflation Reduction Act includes a $3/kg hydrogen production tax credit.

Hydrogen Data Consortium
SEP built the Hydrogen Data Consortium to develop and provide exclusive access to the North American Hydrogen Market Model. Members also have access to the global Hydrogen Supply Chain Database, H2 NewsFeed, and Consortium communications, networking and events.
The core purpose for the Consortium is to exclusively share the most comprehensive data and analysis to inform hydrogen-related demand and supply transactions (investments, production development, addressable markets, off-take projects, etc.) at the plant level.
While the original 20 seats in the Consortium have been filled, some additional seats are being added to capture aspects of the hydrogen ecosystem that are not yet represented.
North American Hydrogen Market Model
The online Market Model tracks thousands of assets at the plant level and provides an extensive range of analytical tools, search and sort features, and mapping. The sections of the Model include:
Market Demand - datatables and mapping for current, planned and potential demand facilities (with contacts for each plant)
Infrastructure - data tables and mapping covering pipelines, power lines, CO2 point sources, power plants, renewable power curtailment, RNG production, and ports.
Facility Design & Tech Comparison - locate, size and evaluate the economics, carbon intensity and supply/demand market profile for any planned hydrogen production facility.
Market Supply - datatables and mapping for current and planned hydrogen production facilities (with contacts for each plant)
Forecasting - tracks leading forecasts by DOE, Lazard and others and provides custom forecasting tools based on the Market Demand datasets.
For each asset, the location, hydrogen demand and supply relationship, CO2 footprint, underlying product production, ownership, contacts and additional information is tracked. The data collected is updated regularly and presented in an interactive format for ready access to information that can illuminate, analyze and drive transactions. European and selected Asian versions of the Model are being scoped with current Consortium members.

Global Hydrogen Supply Chain Database
All the key startups and large companies that are offering or have announced hydrogen-related products or services are tracked in the Supply Chain Database. This includes 1,800+ companies that provide hydrogen-related products and services. Datasets include 3,600+ contacts for the companies. All US H2Hubs applicants and their members are tracked. Soon this database will include cross reference of all H2Hubs projects with all announced hydrogen production and demand projects for the US. This database is currently only available to Hydrogen Data Consortium members.
Customized Research
SEP also provides research support in the hydrogen space, including project analysis, company and technology due diligence and overall industry positioning evaluations. Learn more about our Tailored Engagement Services.
Events
SEP holds in-person and virtual events related to its Hydrogen Practice Area. Members of the Hydrogen Data Consortium have access to monthly networking and thought leadership events. These are recorded and posted to the online Digital Communications Portal for Consortium members.
SEP is currently offering the in-person Hydrogen Market Workshop Series. These are hosted by local organizations in Denver, Houston, Chicago, Washington D.C., Palo Alto and elsewhere through 2024.

Hydrogen Market Workshop description:
Clean hydrogen has become critical for the global energy transition to reach net zero by 2050. The field is expanding rapidly, with many market opportunities. The challenge before us is to transition to clean hydrogen and identify new uses to reach as much as 80 billion metric tons by 2050—more than a 5x increase.
Join us for highlights of SEP’s newly released v2.0 North American Hydrogen Market Model and Global Supply Chain Database. This is the most comprehensive hydrogen market data system built to date. It covers current and future hydrogen supply and demand, from macro-level down to the plant level. We’ll share a live demo of the model, including side-by-side comparisons of different pathways to make, move, store and use hydrogen.
