Large scale investments to build new SMR plants or retrofit the existing natural gas reformers with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to produce blue hydrogen will drive the business scenario. For instance, in September 2023, Woodside, announced its plant to build a blue hydrogen production facility with USD 5 billion investment in Perth. The project, H2Perth, once operational in 2027, will be the largest of its kind across the globe. In addition, Investments in catalyst research aim to improve the performance, stability, and selectivity of catalysts used in hydrogen production processes will propel the product adoption.
