Hydrogen and RNG fueling infrastructure to top $75B by 2030

By AI, Created 5:15 PM UTC, May 18, 2026, /AGP/ – A new market report projects rapid growth in hydrogen and renewable natural gas fueling infrastructure through 2030, led by Asia Pacific and the U.S. The forecast points to production facilities as the biggest segment, with demand driven by decarbonization, cleaner transport and government support.

Why it matters: - The hydrogen and renewable natural gas fueling infrastructure market is projected to exceed $75 billion by 2030. - The market is taking shape as a major piece of the broader clean-fuels buildout, with implications for transport, industrial energy and gas networks. - The forecast also signals where capital is likely to flow next, especially into production, storage and refueling infrastructure.

What happened: - The Business Research Company published its Hydrogen + Renewable Natural Gas Fueling Infrastructure Global Market Report 2026, covering market size, trends and forecasts through 2035. - The report estimates the market will grow at a 28% compound annual growth rate through 2030. - The report places the market at about 29% of the projected $258 billion sustainable fuel parent market in 2030. - The market is expected to represent nearly 1% of the projected $9,379 billion utilities industry in 2030. - Asia Pacific is projected to be the largest region in 2030 at $24 billion, up from $7 billion in 2025. - The U.S. is projected to be the largest country in 2030 at $17 billion, up from $5 billion in 2025.

The details: - Hydrogen production facilities are projected to be the largest segment by type in 2030, reaching $32 billion and accounting for 42% of the market. - The report says production facilities growth will be supported by more electrolyzer installations for green hydrogen. - Steam methane reforming with carbon capture is also expected to support blue hydrogen production. - On-site and distributed hydrogen production systems are gaining demand. - Renewable energy integration is expanding to power hydrogen generation. - Lower production costs and higher efficiency are expected from ongoing technology improvements. - The market is segmented by production into steam methane reforming, coal gasification, electrolysis and other production methods. - The market is segmented by technology into compression, liquefaction and material based. - The hydrogen production facilities segment is projected to grow by $23 billion from 2025 to 2030. - Hydrogen refueling stations are projected to grow by $14 billion. - Hydrogen storage facilities are projected to grow by $7 billion. - Hydrogen transportation infrastructure is projected to grow by $5 billion. - Other infrastructure is projected to grow by $4 billion. - Together, those segments are projected to add more than $53 billion in market value by 2030. - The report includes a request for a free sample and a detailed market report.

Between the lines: - The growth story is concentrated in infrastructure that makes clean fuels usable at scale, not just in fuel production. - Asia Pacific’s lead suggests the strongest near-term buildout is likely to follow national hydrogen roadmaps, vehicle deployment and gas-network integration. - The U.S. outlook reflects growing hydrogen hub activity and infrastructure clusters. - The report ties market growth to three main drivers: decarbonization and net-zero targets, adoption of fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen-powered buses, and government incentives and infrastructure spending. - The estimates are presented by TBRC as market research projections, not guarantees.

What’s next: - The fastest growth is expected to come from hydrogen corridors, storage networks and refueling stations. - Public funding and subsidies are likely to remain important for lowering project costs. - Private investment will probably track policy clarity, infrastructure standards and demand from commercial fleets. - Expansion in Asia Pacific and the U.S. will be a key indicator of how quickly hydrogen and RNG infrastructure moves from forecast to built assets.

The bottom line: - Hydrogen and renewable natural gas fueling infrastructure is moving from niche buildout to large-scale market expansion, with production assets and refueling networks leading the next wave of investment.
