Increasing federal and provincial funding across the U.S. and Canada, including tax credits, grants and hydrogen hub programs, is fast-tracking investment in electrolysis-based liquid hydrogen production. Projects supported by Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and national hydrogen programs are reducing investment risks and improving private sector involvement, thus, driving large scale commercialization, infrastructure deployment and providing long-term demand visibility to industries, thereby, boosting technology growth.
The growing demand for companies to reduce their carbon footprint in industries such as oil refining, chemical production, steel manufacturing, and other heavy industries has led to increased demand for clean alternatives to hydrogen. Liquid hydrogen produced using electrolysis provides the perfect zero-emission alternative and is fully in line with company sustainability initiatives and government regulations.
The increased investment in modern electrolyzer technology has made the technology more efficient and less costly, which is allowing electrolysis-based hydrogen production systems to go mainstream, thus contributing to its adoption. For instance, in March 2025, Air Liquide Venture Capital made an investment in P2H2, a U.S.-based firm, that develops hybrid AEM electrolyzer technology.
Moreover, the increase in investment in electrolyzers, projects, and hydrogen distribution will lead to a better capability in producing hydrogen in North America. Businesses are installing gigawatts of electrolyzers while at the same time improving equipment logistics and infrastructure. This will result in decreased technology prices, more efficient production, and an assured presence of liquid hydrogen, all of which improve the business scenario.
