Solutions for the hydrogen industry

Quality, safety and sustainability along the entire life cycle of hydrogen projects

Summary

The use of hydrogen has an important role in the decarbonization of the industry and offers an alternative form of energy supply, particularly for carbon- and energy-intensive industries such as the chemical and process industries, iron and steel production, and the petroleum industry. For plant operators, manufacturers, energy producers, logistics companies or hydrogen users - for all companies that are involved with hydrogen in any way - the transformation towards a hydrogen economy represents one of the major challenges of the oncoming years. However, for hydrogen to realize its potential as a sustainable energy source, safe and durable technologies and solutions must be utilized along the entire hydrogen value chain.

Production, storage and use of hydrogen pose a special challenge

Hydrogen offers significant advantages as a sustainable energy source, requiring specifications and safety measures due to its molecular properties. For example, storage tanks, pipelines, valves, components as well as entire plants have to be tested and certified in complex test procedures. In this way, safety risks can be minimized in the long term when handling hydrogen and using hydrogen-powered technologies, environmental and plant performance can be optimized, and legal requirements can be met.
