Pure Hydrogen Partners with Utility Global to Boost Growth in the U.S. Hydrogen Fuel Cell Market
Pure Hydrogen has taken an important step in expanding its presence in the fast-growing U.S. hydrogen fuel cell industry by forming a new partnership with Houston-based clean energy company Utility Global. With analysts predicting the global hydrogen fuel cell market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 24.5% over the next decade, the timing positions Pure Hydrogen strongly for major international growth.
Under a new joint market development agreement, Pure Hydrogen (ASX) and Utility Global will work together to support the rollout of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles across key regions in the United States. The partnership brings together Pure Hydrogen’s expertise in hydrogen vehicle development and manufacturing with Utility Global’s advanced, cost-efficient hydrogen production technology.
Managing Director Scott Brown said the agreement gives Pure Hydrogen a clear and practical pathway to expand into the U.S. market while continuing to build its manufacturing capacity in Australia.
“This collaboration brings together our strengths in hydrogen vehicle development with Utility Global’s capabilities in producing clean, affordable hydrogen,” Brown said. “By matching vehicle rollouts with reliable, strategically located hydrogen supply, we aim to speed up the adoption of hydrogen-powered transport, reduce risks for customers, and help build a strong and connected U.S. hydrogen network.”
Over the coming months, Pure Hydrogen and Utility Global will identify key regions suited for early deployment, launch pilot projects, and expand demonstrations of hydrogen vehicles and supply solutions. These efforts are designed to lay the groundwork for a scalable U.S. hydrogen mobility network from 2026 onward.
The broader hydrogen fuel cell market is also entering a significant growth phase. Research from Research and Marketsshows the market is expected to increase from US$10.2 billion in 2025 to US$59 billion by 2033. Key factors driving this growth include improvements in fuel cell efficiency, lower operating costs, and advancements in durability. Hydrogen-powered vehicles are becoming a realistic and competitive alternative to traditional internal combustion engines.
Countries including Japan, South Korea, and several European Union nations are already investing heavily in hydrogen infrastructure and supporting hydrogen vehicle development through major automotive manufacturers such as Toyota, Hyundai, and Honda. The U.S. market is expected to follow a similar path as more regions invest in clean transport and low-emissions energy systems.
The partnership between Pure Hydrogen and Utility Global focuses on targeting areas in the U.S. where hydrogen supply can be built quickly and effectively, enabling a reliable supply chain for commercial fleets and supporting the wider clean energy transition. The agreement covers an initial three-year term.
This new partnership also builds on Pure Hydrogen’s recent manufacturing agreement with Australian company AMQ, which gives Pure Hydrogen a clear pathway to scale its production capacity to meet future local and international demand. Together, these agreements strengthen Pure Hydrogen’s position as an early mover in the global hydrogen economy and prepare the company for rapid expansion in new markets.
