Technologies: Hydrogen Technologies

Hydrogen is one of the fastest-growing market segments in energy and will have a key impact, especially on long haul trucking fleets.

Currently, 95% of global hydrogen production comes from fossil fuels; however, hydrogen from renewable energy is now being produced in various ways. Steam methane reforming is the common way of generating hydrogen that is used in the fertilizer and the refining industry. Another method of generating hydrogen is splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolyser.

Using electricity to generate hydrogen from a non-emitting source is called green hydrogen, which can help to reduce the life cycle emissions of the fertilizer and refining sector. Costs for green hydrogen produced with renewable energy are falling, and the global pressure to cut greenhouse gas emissions is rising, giving much-needed momentum to hydrogen as a crucial part of creating a sustainable energy future.
