Grey hydrogen, which is produced from fossil fuels without carbon capture and storage, is not considered better than fossil fuels in terms of environmental impact since it still emits carbon dioxide. However, Grey Hydrogen can be a transitional solution in certain industries as efforts are made to shift towards greener alternatives like green or blue hydrogen.
Gray hydrogen is typically produced through a process known as steam methane reforming (SMR), which involves reacting natural gas with steam at high temperatures and pressures to produce hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. The hydrogen produced through this process is then purified for use in various industrial applications.

The continued use of gray hydrogen in the energy sector will largely depend on the cost of producing and transporting it compared to cleaner alternatives. As technology advances, the cost of green and blue hydrogen production is expected to decline, making it more competitive with gray hydrogen. In addition, many countries are offering incentives and subsidies to encourage the adoption of cleaner energy sources, which may further drive down the cost of green and blue hydrogen.
Grey hydrogen is generally less expensive to produce compared to green or blue hydrogen due to the lower costs associated with fossil fuel extraction and processing. However, the overall cost competitiveness of grey hydrogen depends on factors such as the price of natural gas or coal and the cost of carbon emissions, which can vary regionally and over time.
The gray hydrogen future in the energy transition is uncertain. While it may continue to play a role in the short-term due to its widespread use and existing infrastructure, the long-term trend is towards cleaner alternatives such as green and blue hydrogen.
Some of the leading players in the gray hydrogen industry include:
· Air Liquide
· Linde plc
· Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.
· Praxair Technology, Inc.
· Messer Group GmbH

The global Hydrogen Market research report, published by Value Market Research, is designed to offer various market framework such as market size, portion, trends, growth path, value and factors that impact the current market dynamics over the forecast period 2020-2027.
Most importantly, this report also provides the latest significant strategies adopted by major players along with their market share.The rising demand for ammonia, owing to the increasing use of ammonia-based fertilizers to enhance productivity and maintain crop nutrition, and growing demand for the gas from the refinery sector due to the stringent sulfur reduction regulations, are some of the key attributable factors that are driving the growth of hydrogen industry.
In the transport sector, electric vehicles driven by hydrogen fuel cells hold the potential to replace existing vehicles, wherein water would be the only exhaust.
This can transform the automotive industry, which currently solely depends on fossil fuel.
However, high cost of hydrogen as compared to fossil fuels may act as restrain for hydrogen generation market growth in near future.
Key participants in the industry are focusing on technological advancements and innovation to minimize the cost of renewable-powered electrolysis and largely commercialize the production of hydrogen.
