Rising Green Fuel Adoption to Push Hydrogen Engine Market Toward $87.3 Billion by 2040

Hydrogen-powered engines are redefining clean mobility by offering zero-emission solutions for sectors where electrification faces limits.

WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, August 19, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Hydrogen Powered Engine Market by Installation (OEM, Retrofit), by Technology (Proton Membrane Exchange, Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell, Others), by Application (Railways, Airways, Roadways, Marine), by Propulsion (Hybrid, Electric): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2030-2040” The global hydrogen powered engine market is expected to be valued at $34.7 billion in 2030, and is projected to reach $87.3 billion by 2040, growing at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2031 to 2040.

The hydrogen-powered engine market is gaining momentum as industries and governments increasingly focus on decarbonization and sustainable mobility solutions. Unlike traditional internal combustion engines, hydrogen engines operate using hydrogen fuel, emitting only water vapor as a byproduct. These engines are emerging as a promising alternative for heavy-duty vehicles, marine transport, and industrial machinery, offering high energy density, quick refueling, and compatibility with existing engine platforms.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀
The market is primarily driven by the rising demand for zero-emission vehicles and global initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen-powered engines offer a cleaner substitute to conventional fossil fuel engines, which makes them attractive in sectors like commercial transport, shipping, and off-highway equipment.

Another major driver is government support through subsidies, regulations, and investments in hydrogen infrastructure. Countries across Europe, Asia, and North America are allocating funds to develop hydrogen refueling stations and promote hydrogen-based technologies.

Technological advancements are also shaping the market. Improvements in hydrogen storage, fuel injection systems, and combustion control mechanisms are enhancing engine efficiency and durability, making hydrogen engines a viable solution for large-scale deployment.

However, the high cost of hydrogen production, limited refueling infrastructure, and competition from hydrogen fuel cells and battery-electric vehicles restrain market growth. Addressing these barriers will require collaboration between automakers, energy providers, and policymakers.

Looking ahead, the market is expected to grow significantly with increasing adoption in heavy-duty and long-haul transport, sectors where battery-electric solutions face limitations. Hydrogen-powered engines are likely to complement fuel cell technologies, driving a diversified hydrogen economy.
