Europe and APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market Research Report: Forecast (2025-30)

Market Definition

Hydrogen boilers are a type of heating system that uses hydrogen gas as a fuel source to generate heat and provide hot water for residential or commercial buildings. They are an alternative to traditional natural gas or electric boilers, and they work by burning hydrogen to produce heat in combustion.

Market Insights & Analysis: Europe & APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market (2025-30):

The Europe & APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 32% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30. The market growth is attributed to the rising government initiatives in the development of hydrogen infrastructure in the regions. The governments in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region are increasingly focusing on the development of a hydrogen economy and infrastructure to reduce their dependency on fossil fuels and to achieve emission reduction targets. For Instance,

• In 2022, the European government confirmed the establishment of business models for hydrogen transport and storage infrastructure by 2025.

A well-established hydrogen infrastructure is crucial for the widespread adoption and utilization of hydrogen-based heating systems like hydrogen boilers. The expansion of hydrogen infrastructure ensures a consistent supply of hydrogen fuel for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, augmenting the growth of the Europe & APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market.

In addition, the shifting focus of the European and APAC countries towards reducing carbon footprints and net-zero emissions by 2050 is further creating the demand for hydrogen boilers. Conventional gas boilers cause various environmental impacts arising from air emissions from fuel combustion, wastewater from cooling and cleaning, and solid waste from ash disposal, which results in GHG emissions. Hydrogen boilers use hydrogen as the source of heating and do not pose any negative impact on the environment, creating market demand.

Moreover, the rising application of hydrogen boilers in manufacturing industry heating systems is expected to augment market growth in the future. Steam is the major source of energy in commercial and industrial systems. The major industrial energy consumers use a substantial portion of their fossil fuel consumption for steam production. The steam produced from fossil fuels significantly affects the environment by releasing CFCs and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. To meet the zero-emission targets laid by European and APAC countries, it is crucial to eliminate these emissions and focus on the adoption of substitutes such as hydrogen for steam generation, which is expected to create demand for hydrogen boilers in the forecast period.

Europe & APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market Driver:  

Rising Government Initiatives in Hydrogen Infrastructure Development – The governments of European and Asia-Pacific (APAC) countries are increasingly focusing on the establishment of hydrogen infrastructure in various countries to meet their emission targets. The European Commission, along with various national governments, is providing substantial financial support for hydrogen projects. This includes grants, subsidies, and incentives for companies and research institutions working on hydrogen technologies. Similarly, countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan and South Korea, have unveiled ambitious hydrogen economy plans. For Instance,

• In 2023, Japan laid its Hydrogen Strategy to increase the supply of hydrogen in the country at minimal costs by 2030.

The infrastructure development includes the establishment of hydrogen production facilities, such as electrolyzers and reformers, as well as distribution networks for transporting hydrogen to end-users. This will ensure a consistent and adequate supply of hydrogen, a key prerequisite for hydrogen boiler operation, which is expected to augment market growth in the forecast period.

Europe & APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market Challenge:

High Cost Associated with Hydrogen Boilers as Compared to Conventional Boilers – Conventional boilers, such as electric and natural gas are integrated into existing infrastructure, which makes them more affordable than hydrogen boilers. Conventional boilers typically have a lower upfront cost than hydrogen boilers. This includes the purchase price of the boiler unit, installation costs, and any necessary modifications to existing infrastructure. On the other hand, the production, storage, and transportation of hydrogen add up to the cost of overall hydrogen boiler adoption, which might restrain its market growth in the forecast period.

Europe & APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market Trend:

Surge in Adoption of Steam-as-a-Service (SaaS) – Steam-as-a-Service (SaaS) is an emerging concept that offers steam generation and distribution as an outsourced, cost-effective, and sustainable solution for various industrial processes and applications. Many industrial processes and facilities rely on steam for heating, sterilization, and other applications. Traditional steam generation methods are often based on fossil fuels and do not comply with environmental norms. Hydrogen boilers, which produce steam through the combustion of hydrogen, emit only water vapor as a byproduct. This aligns with reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen boilers, due to their ability to produce clean and high-temperature steam, are well-positioned to benefit from this trend which might proliferate the growth of the Europe & APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market.

Europe & APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market (2025-30): Segmentation Analysis

The Europe & APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market study of MarkNtel Advisors evaluates & highlights the major trends & influencing factors in each segment. It includes predictions for the period 2025–2030 at the regional level. According to the analysis, the market has been further classified as:

Based on Technology:

• Hydrogen Blend
• Hydrogen Ready

The hydrogen blend segment is expected to hold a major market share in the Europe & APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market in the forecast period, owing to its high compatibility with existing infrastructure. Hydrogen-blend boilers can be integrated into existing natural gas infrastructure without major modifications. This compatibility allows for a smoother transition, as users can leverage their existing gas pipelines and distribution systems. Moreover, a hydrogen blend boiler uses 20% hydrogen and 80% natural gas, which makes its adoption easier and offers flexibility in terms of fuel choice, allowing users to adapt to changing market conditions and evolving hydrogen infrastructure, which might augment its growth in the forecast period.

Based on Application:

• Residential
• Commercial
• Industrial

The residential segment holds a major market share of the Europe & APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market owing to the smaller scale of deployment. The residential sector has smaller boiler units that can be replaced more easily as compared to the industrial and commercial sectors. Smaller-scale projects are often easier to implement, making residential adoption more feasible in the early stages of hydrogen technology development. Hence, the residential sector is expected to dominate the European and APAC Hydrogen Boilers Market in the future.

Saudi Arabia Oilfield Service Industry Recent Development:

• 2023: Viessmann, partnered with OGE to test the operation of a Vitocrossal CI3 condensing boiler using hydrogen as a fuel source at the Krummhörn compressor station in East Frisia.
