Hydrogen patents
for a clean energy future
A global trend analysis of innovation along hydrogen value chains
January 2023
HYDROGEN PATENTS FOR A
CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE

Foreword
Faced with a convergence of crises spanning energy,
geopolitics and the environment, the future of the
European economy now depends more than any time in
its history on its capacity for innovation and creativity.
The transition away from fossil fuels is a challenge
unparalleled in scale and complexity, with a narrowing
time window by which to bring solutions to market. In
this context, producing reliable intelligence on trends in
low-carbon innovation is crucial for supporting robust
business and policy decisions. This also forms a vital
aspect of EPO’s strategic commitment to sustainability.
This study - the third of its kind undertaken in
collaboration with the IEA since 2020 - addresses
innovation trends related to hydrogen which is a core
element to energy transitions in the EU and beyond.
Combining the energy expertise of the IEA with the EPO’s
patent knowledge, it provides the most comprehensive
and up-to-date global review of patenting trends in a
broad range of technologies – from the production of
hydrogen to its storage, distribution and transformation,
through to its end-use applications across many dierent
industries. Because patent information is the earliest
possible signal of industrial innovation, this report
oers a unique source of intelligence on a complex and
fast-moving technology landscape that is reaching new
heights of strategic importance to decision-makers
around the world.
Patent protection is key for innovators to transform
hydrogen research into market-ready inventions. Patents
enable enterprises and universities to reap the rewards
of their creativity and hard work. As the patent oce
for Europe, the EPO provides high-quality patents to
protect innovations in up to 44 countries (including all
EU member states). European patents are not only
for large multinational companies. They are also key
to helping small businesses raise funding, establish
collaborations and eventually scale.
The study is designed as a guide for policymakers and
decision-makers to assess their comparative advantage
at dierent stages of the value chain, shed light on
innovative companies and institutions that may be able
to contribute to long-term sustainable growth, and direct
resources towards promising technologies. Drawing on
the EPO's cutting-edge patent data, it introduces new
search strategies to compare incremental innovation
related to established fossil fuel processes with emerging
technologies motivated by the climate challenge.
The results reveal encouraging transition patterns
across countries and industry sectors, including a
major contribution of Europe to the emergence of new
hydrogen technologies. Importantly, they highlight the
contribution of start-ups to hydrogen innovation, and
their strong reliance on patents to bring new technology
to market. However, this report also flags some blind
spots where more innovation is needed to unlock new
applications of green hydrogen. By giving decision-
makers an unparalleled perspective of patenting trends
along hydrogen value chains, these findings can act
as a valuable guide in steering the transition to a new
hydrogen economy.

HYDROGEN PATENTS FOR A
CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE
epo.org | 03
Foreword
The global energy crisis sparked by Russia's invasion of
Ukraine has highlighted the urgent need to tackle the
overlapping challenges of energy security, energy access,
climate change and economic recovery. Technology,
including hydrogen, is at the heart of any policy package
that can successfully address these interrelated issues.
Hydrogen produced from low-emissions sources has
the potential to reduce reliance on fossil fuels in
applications where few other alternatives exist. In the
medium- to long-term, it represents our best chance to
limit exposure to volatile fuel prices in critical sectors like
long-haul transport and fertilizer production. However,
a future of available and aordable low-emissions
hydrogen is dependent on near-term policies to develop
and improve technologies and to establish value chains
for investment, equipment and trade.
Many countries are stepping up. The REPowerEU plan
and other European Union programmes will mobilise
investment to reduce EU gas demand. In the United
States, the Inflation Reduction Act will drive capital
towards cleaner sources of hydrogen and, we hope, also
facilitate competitive international supply chains. Japan's
Green Transformation Programme also contains bold
plans for funding advanced technologies. Last September,
16 countries committed to funding a global portfolio of
large-scale demonstration projects this decade to bring
technologies like hydrogen-based steel production to
market in time to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
This report shows that competition to be the leader
in hydrogen innovation is intensifying and has the
potential to drive commercialisation. The stakes are high:
installations of electrolysers reach 380 gigawatts in
2030 in the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Net Zero
Emissions by 2050 Scenario, illustrating the economic
opportunity for countries that can translate research
excellence into industrial competitiveness. However,
activity remains concentrated in a small number of
regions, limiting the exchange of ideas. Looking ahead,
hydrogen innovation must address specific national
challenges, for example by helping Africa tap into some
of the lowest-cost clean energy on the planet.
This study, which showcases the growing partnership
between the IEA and the European Patent Oce (EPO)
after our work on batteries (2020) and low-carbon
energy (2021), is the most comprehensive comparison of
patenting trends across the full hydrogen value chain.
Such an integrated approach is essential for hydrogen,
which relies on multiple technologies to connect supply
and demand.
The development of secure, robust and sustainable
supply chains for clean energy is critical to minimise the
risk of repeating today’s energy crisis. The IEA’s Energy
Technology Perspectives 2023, due to be released in the
same week as this report, explores in detail this topic
and the important role that innovation has for the
development of resilient clean energy systems.
This report's findings give us confidence that innovators
are responding to the need for low-emissions hydrogen,
and to the economic opportunity it represents. But
the report also identifies areas – particularly among
end-use applications – where more eort is required.
Our continued co-operation with the EPO will allow us
to track progress going forward.
