The power to gas market was valued at $30.3 million in 2021, and power-to-gas market size is estimated to reach $84.4 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.8% from 2022 to 2031. Power-to-gas is the process of converting surplus renewable energy into hydrogen gas through the PEM electrolysis technology. Hydrogen can be injected into the natural gas grid. Hence; hydrogen can displace natural gas, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on high carbon fuels. Hydrogen manufactured from renewable energy is called green hydrogen, which can be used to store, transport, and utilize renewable energy. This technology helps to minimize variable renewable energy curtailment from sources, such as wind and solar, providing long-term storage and grid balancing services through electrolyzer.
According to the International Energy Administration (IEA), hydrogen demand stood at 90 million ton in 2020, almost all of which was made from fossil fuels. However, green hydrogen capacities have been growing steadily and have doubled over the last 5 years, reaching nearly 300 MW in mid-2021. In addition, nearly 350 projects with an aggregate capacity of 54 GW are currently under development and are expected to commercialize by 2030, while more than 40 other projects, which account for nearly 35GW capacity, are in the early stages of development that are expected to be commissioned by 2030.

The green hydrogen produced by electrolyzer can also be directly used as a fuel, either for transport, replacing oil in light vehicles, railways, and marine applications, or as a feedstock for industrial applications. Green hydrogen fuel cells can also be used for energy storage. Due to the falling costs of renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind, energy storage technologies such as power-to-gas (PtG) technology are becoming increasingly attractive, and the installed capacity of commercial electrolyzer systems has been growing steadily over the past few years. There are only a few commercially viable water electrolysis technologies, and the two most widely used technologies are alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis.
In 2020, according to the European Commission, the refinery sector accounted for 48% of the hydrogen consumption, followed by fertilizers and chemical sectors. Germany is one of the major countries in the Europe power-to-gas market. As of 2020, Germany was home to around 40 small power-to-gas pilot projects that harnessed surplus green power, mainly from wind and solar projects, to carry out electrolysis by splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen to produce zero-carbon fuel. Furthermore, in July 2020, the European Union unveiled its Hydrogen Strategy that aims to increase its electrolyzed capacity by 6 GW by 2024 and 40 GW by 2030. Furthermore, the strategy targets to increase the production of renewable hydrogen from 1 million ton to 10 million ton per year by 2030. The presence of above-mentioned initiatives and applications is expected to provide ample power-to-gas market growth opportunities for the development of the market.
