Captive Petroleum Refinery Hydrogen Generation Market was valued at USD 47.6 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2032. It refers to the on-site production of hydrogen specifically for use within a petroleum refinery. In this setup, hydrogen is generated through processes such as steam methane reforming or electrolysis, to meet the refinery's own requirements for hydrogen in various operations, such as desulfurization and hydrocracking. This method allows refineries to produce hydrogen independently, reducing reliance on external suppliers and ensuring a consistent supply for their processes.
Increasing focus to reduce carbon emissions and sulfur content in fuels in line with growing demand for cleaner fuels, such as ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) and other environmentally friendly products will propel the process adoption. Rising adoption of processes offering refineries greater energy security by reducing dependence on third-party suppliers will foster the business landscape.
