Global White (Natural) Hydrogen Market Size was valued at USD XX Bn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD XX Bn by 2034 at a XX% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
White (natural) hydrogen means hydrogen that has been produced by processes occurring naturally in the earth's crust. Hydrogen gas naturally occurs in underground deposits and can be extracted by drilling, which provides the basis for the white hydrogen notion. There is a demand for an eco-friendly energy source, and white hydrogen (natural) doesn't release any carbon dioxide gas when burned. The market demand for white hydrogen is growing, and as methods for detecting and extracting natural resources improve, it may become a more realistic energy choice.
Furthermore, white hydrogen finds a welcoming environment as the globe transitions to a hydrogen economy, where investments in fuel cell technology, hydrogen infrastructure, and end-use applications are expected to halt the market's expansion. In addition, in the future, the market for white hydrogen could be further expanded if additional geological studies found alternative sources of natural hydrogen, improving its availability and economic feasibility.
However, the market growth is hampered by significant investment, vague policy and regulatory frameworks, and a lack of knowledge about white hydrogen, which slows down the growth of white (natural) hydrogen. In addition, there are growing incentives and support for white hydrogen initiatives from government policies and regulatory frameworks prioritizing low-carbon and renewable energy technology, providing opportunities for market growth in the coming years.

The white (natural) hydrogen market is segmented based on end-user application and source. Based on end-user application, the market is segmented into oil and gas, industrial feedstock, mobility, power generation, and others. By source, the market is segmented into serpentinization of olivine and pyroxene ultramafic rocks, volcanic activity and magma crystallization, hydrothermal vents, degassing primordial hydrogen, and others.
The power generation white (natural) hydrogen market is expected to hold a major global market share in 2023. This is propelled by the industry’s persistent search for greener, more long-term energy options. The potential for white hydrogen to generate electricity with no emissions fits in nicely with worldwide initiatives to lessen the impact of human activities on the environment and move towards more sustainable energy systems. In addition, improvements in fuel cell technology have also increased hydrogen’s potential as an integral part of the energy mix, which has led to its increased use in power generation, fueling the expansion of the market.
The hydrothermal vents industry is growing because of their possible use as a supply of pristine, all-natural hydrogen. An increasing number of countries are looking for clean energy sources, such as hydrothermal vent hydrogen, to power their energy needs. Hydrogen, which is obtained from hydrothermal vents, is considered a sustainable energy source since it is less harmful to the environment than fossil fuels. This aligns with worldwide sustainability, which is growing the segment growth.
The North American white (natural) hydrogen market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue in the near future. It can be attributed to substantial progress in renewable energy and sustainable fuel technology, support of clean energy programs, increasing dedication to ecological preservation, and decreases in carbon emissions in the region's robust research and development efforts, which will benefit the North American market. In addition, Asia Pacific is projected to grow rapidly in the global white (natural) hydrogen market because of a thriving environment for energy innovation, powerful policy and regulatory frameworks that encourage the use of clean energy, and substantial expenditures in environmentally friendly technology.
