Qualitative and quantitative insights were obtained by interviewing supply-side and demand-side stakeholders during the primary research process. CEOs, VPs of Technology Development, nuclear energy directors, regulatory affairs leaders, and commercial directors from pink hydrogen producers, electrolyzer manufacturers, nuclear power operators, and energy infrastructure companies comprised the supply-side sources. Demand-side sources included chief sustainability officers, energy procurement leaders, industrial gas buyers, transportation fleet managers, and utility executives from energy, manufacturing, transport, and chemical sector end-users. Primary research has confirmed the timelines of the SMR and high-temperature electrolysis pipelines, validated market segmentation across production methods (electrolysis, steam methane reforming, thermochemical water splitting), and gathered insights on the dynamics of carbon credit monetization, nuclear hydrogen adoption patterns, and offtake agreement structures.

Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and production capacity analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 50+ key stakeholders across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America
Technology mapping across electrolysis (alkaline, PEM, solid oxide), steam methane reforming with carbon capture, and thermochemical water splitting (sulfur-iodine, hybrid sulfur) production methods
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to pink hydrogen and nuclear hydrogen portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers and project developers representing 75-80% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (production capacity × levelized cost by country) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations across energy storage, transportation, industrial processes, and chemical manufacturing applications
