Europe Liquid Hydrogen Market Size

Europe Liquid Hydrogen Market size was valued USD 9.5 Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2024 to 2032. It is a liquefied form of hydrogen gas, achieved by cooling it to extremely low temperatures. At standard atmospheric pressure, hydrogen gas condenses into a liquid state at temperatures below -252.87 °C. Hydrogen then becomes denser and occupies significantly less volume compared to its gaseous form, making it easier to store and transport for various applications, including fueling vehicles, powering industrial processes, and supporting energy storage systems.
