SOEC電解槽市場 - 2024 年至 2029 年預測SOEC Electrolyzer Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
SOEC電解槽市場預計將從2022年的794.66億美元成長到2029年的33,634.18億美元,複合年成長率為59.71%。
固體氧化物燃料電池技術形成可靠的電解堆,能夠透過蒸氣電解生產氫氣,並透過蒸氣和二氧化碳共電解合成氣體(由氫氣和一氧化碳組成)。固體氧化物電解池 (SOEC) 技術也能夠同時從這些輸入源生產高純度氧氣。特別是,OxEon(該公司)已成功從模擬火星大氣中提取高純度氧氣,展示了該技術的多功能性。
SOEC 應用擴展到多種用途的氫氣生產,包括運輸、工業製程和發電。此外,SOEC在將多餘的可再生能源轉化為氫氣並促進其儲存以供後續發電方面發揮著重要作用。另一個值得注意的應用是共同生產氫氣和合成氣(氫氣和一氧化碳的組合)。
使用 SOEC 擴大氫氣生產是由多種因素推動的:對清潔氫氣的需求不斷成長、政府的支持性政策和獎勵以及提高生產過程效率和可行性的持續技術進步。這為 SOEC 技術的廣泛採用奠定了基礎,以滿足全球對永續和清潔能源解決方案日益成長的需求。
市場促進因素
由於有利的投資流入和加強清潔能源基礎設施的努力,能源和電力產業預計在未來幾年將呈現強勁成長。國際能源總署(IEA)資料顯示,全球清潔能源投資達1,6,170億美元,較2021年成長14.8%。此外,根據相同數據,到2023年全球投資預計將達到1.74兆美元。
此外,2022年石化燃料投資小幅成長4.7%,但隨著各國加大二氧化碳排放,石化燃料使用量將下降,石化燃料投資預計將受到抑制。
能源產業涉及石化燃料和再生能源來源的生產和供應。這些部門在促進工業成長、從而推動經濟改善方面發揮著重要作用。
例如,根據國際能源總署(IEA)的預測,到2022年,工業部門將佔全球能源使用量的37%,達166 EJ。此外,據同一消息人士透露,到2030年,工業能源生產力預計將以每年3%的速度成長,到2030年,電力預計將佔工業能源使用的30%。
此外,旨在提高能源生產(尤其是再生能源來源)的各種政府措施和投資預計將在未來幾年顯著促進能源產業的成長。例如,2023年6月,拜登政府宣布投資4,500萬美元,作為其「投資美國」計畫的一部分,以加速國內太陽能電池製造。
工業活動的快速成長以及都市化帶來的住宅和商業設施的快速成長導致全球能源需求急劇增加,進而推高整體產能。根據IES《2022年世界能源展望》報告,2021年全球能源供應量將達到624EJ,比2020年供應量592EJ增加5.4%,比2010年產量542EJ增加15.1%。
根據國際能源總署報告,2021年歐洲能源供應量為82.3 EJ(艾焦耳),比2020年的77.9 EJ增加5.6%。同時,該地區的能源需求也大幅增加。
為了滿足這種不斷成長的需求,歐洲正在積極推廣使用太陽能和風能等可再生能源發電。該地區已啟動各種措施和投資,以加強能源供應和建立清潔能源基礎設施,推動 SOEC電解槽市場的成長。
例如,歐盟委員會2022年5月推出的REPowerEU計畫旨在加強清潔能源生產和儲存,同時實現歐洲能源供應多元化。這些舉措預計將為 SOEC電解槽市場的成長提供光明的前景。
阻礙因素
與蒸汽甲烷改性(SMR) 等傳統氫氣生產方法相比,SOEC 系統的成本要高得多。這種高額的初始投資給未來的用戶帶來了挑戰,特別是在成本是關鍵問題的行業中。陶瓷電解質和金屬互連等特殊材料的使用顯著增加了整個系統的成本。此外,與 SMR 等成熟技術相比,市場規模相對有限,這限制了透過規模經濟節省成本的潛力。
SOEC電解槽市場根據組件分為工廠平衡 (BOP) 和堆疊。
根據組件,SOEC電解槽市場分為 BOP(設備平衡)和煙囪。工廠平衡 (BOP) 包括電堆周圍的所有組件,對於電堆的正常運作以及無縫整合到更廣泛的氫氣生產系統中至關重要。另一方面,電堆是 SOEC電解槽的核心組件,在水分解過程本身中起著至關重要的作用。
美洲預計將佔據 SOEC電解槽市場的主要佔有率。
由於工業生產力提高和人口成長,美國、加拿大、墨西哥和巴西等美洲主要經濟體的能源需求大幅增加。此外,積極促進可再生能源生產以及擴大石油和天然氣探勘活動也是進一步的推動因素。根據國際能源總署(IEA)《2022年世界能源展望》,美洲能源供應量為139.9 EJ,比2020年的133.5 EJ增加4.8%。
此外,同一份文件顯示,2021年美國將佔美洲能源總產量的62%,而巴西等其他經濟體將佔9.5%。
