Why Hydrogen?
The world needs to reduce its carbon emissions to meet global targets. Carbon emissions are created by using fossil fuels to generate heat, mobility, and industrial processes. Fossil fuels are finite.
Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical element in the universe but does not exist on its own. It must be processed to produce pure hydrogen for use as an energy carrier.
Brown, blue, and grey hydrogen produced by Steam Methane Reformation or the gasification process emits CO2 into the atmosphere or requires the emissions to be captured and stored. But only green hydrogen produced by renewable electricity means zero emissions. Green hydrogen means a cleaner environment.
Hydrogen is one of the world's most versatile energy carriers, energy stores, and industrial feedstocks. Found in methane and propane as well as water, where it can be extracted as a gas by electrolysis. It is key to the decarbonisation of our planet.
When supplied by renewable electricity for production, hydrogen becomes a clean source of energy. Producing green hydrogen only emits oxygen and heat as it's by-products which can be harvested for further use.
We need to replace the use of fossil fuels. Green hydrogen will heat and power our homes and businesses. It will fuel transport, ancillary vehicles, and equipment and feed into many industrial processes.
Decarbonisation of our energy systems (electricity and gas grids) is high on the worldwide agenda. Hydrogen will replace carbon-emitting coal and gas fired power plants. The production and storage of hydrogen will help to grid-balance when consumer demands dictates.
Large manufacturing plants are energy-intensive. Organisations can benefit from using hydrogen production technology, such as our Membrane-Free Electrolyser™. Using renewable electricity produced from solar or wind can produce green hydrogen to power equipment and machinery while reducing a business's carbon footprint.
Hydrogen means zero-emissions. Cars, buses, trucks, and trains can use hydrogen. Off-road vehicles and equipment such as forklift trucks, airport ground support equipment, agricultural machinery and generators can all be hydrogen fuelled for the future eliminating carbon and noise pollution.
Supermarkets, shops, data centres, offices, hospitals and many more buildings can become eco-friendly by powering their environments and back-up power systems with hydrogen.
With climate change delivering more and more unpredictable weather, our food chain becomes less stable. Too little rain, too much rain, long periods of frost and snow all ruin crops and produce less yield. Using hydrogen and oxygen for growing plants without soil can enhance the growth time and promote vegetation that is algae free.
