China Hydrogen Storage Materials Industry Report Trend and Forecast 2014-2017

Most up-to-date research on "China Hydrogen Storage Materials Industry Report, 2014-2017" to its huge collection of research reports.

Traditionally, there are two methods of storing hydrogen. One is to store hydrogen gas by using high-pressure cylinders, and the other is to store liquid hydrogen. In recent years, a simple new method of hydrogen storage has been developed, namely through hydrogen storage alloy (a metal hydride) which principally consists of titanium-based hydrogen storage alloy, zirconium-based hydrogen storage alloy, iron-based hydrogen storage alloy, as well as rare earth hydrogen storage alloy, etc.

Since 2005, the output of hydrogen storage materials and NI-MH battery in China has exceeded Japan as the world's biggest producer, with hydrogen storage alloy output accounting for about 60% of global total. After 2006, China’s production of hydrogen storage alloy grew at a lower rate, with the capacity in 2014 reaching around 38,000 tons, reflecting that hydrogen storage material enterprises did not actively expand their capacity. This resulted mainly from factors below: firstly, fierce competition between enterprises due to domestic overcapacity; secondly, the prices of key raw materials such as nickel, cobalt, and rare earth fluctuated dramatically in recent years, leading to poorer corporate profitability than expected.

Now that the global NI-MH battery gradually gives way to lithium battery, China’s NI-MH battery output would shrink, thus affecting the development of hydrogen storage materials. China’s NI-MH battery output has declined for many years, with the output in 2014 amounting to 700 million units, a drop of 33.3% compared with 2010. However, with the advance in hydrogen fuel cell technologies, the growing...
