hydrogen uses in industry

Low-CO₂ production and innovative value creation through green hydrogen

Industrial companies face the challenge of significantly reducing CO₂ emissions without sacrificing efficiency and competitiveness. Green hydrogen in industry is seen as a key factor for a sustainable future, as it represents a virtually emission-free source of energy.

A rapid changeover is not only ecologically necessary, but also makes economic sense for the industry of tomorrow: the growing market for green technologies offers opportunities for innovation and competitiveness. Those who act early will reduce long-term costs, environmental pollution and geopolitical dependencies.

Use of green hydrogen in industry

In basic material production

Hydrogen enablesCO2-neutral processes such as ammonia synthesis, methanol and steel production. It reduces the proportion of natural gas.

Generation of process heat

Hydrogen replaces fossil fuels in energy-intensive industries such as steel, cement, metal and glass production.

Flexible energy storage

Hydrogen storage systems stabilize energy systems by reconverting electricity using gas turbines or high-temperature fuel cells.

Advantages of green hydrogen for industry

Green hydrogen is produced by electrolyzing water using only renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power. Unlike fossil fuels, green hydrogen does not cause CO2 emissions during production or use.

Reduction of CO2 emissions

Green hydrogen replaces coal or
natural gas in production processes and
reduces carbon dioxide emissions.

Sustainability

The use of renewable
energies makes production and manufacturing processes more sustainable.

Climate friendliness

As green hydrogen is produced without fossil
fuels, it contributes
to achieving climate targets.

Long-term cost efficiency

With falling costs for renewable
energies, PEM electrolysis
can be economically advantageous in the long term.

Technological pioneering role

Companies that rely on green hydrogen are positioning themselves as innovation leaders for sustainable industry.

Future-proof production

With green hydrogen, companies will meet the upcoming environmental requirements and regulations.

Application examples

Hydrogen in your industry: already a reality today

Use in heavy industry

Heavy industry, such as steel and cement production, is one of the largest CO2 emitters. Green Hydrogen offers a carbon-free alternative to coke and coal. Salzgitter AG, for example, has already invested in its SALCOS program for the hydrogen-based production of green steel.

Chemical industry

Hydrogen is a key raw material in the chemical industry, for example for the production of ammonia and methanol. By switching to green hydrogen, CO2-intensive processes can be made sustainable without compromising production quality.

Hydrogen in industrial company fleets

Industrial companies are increasingly turning to hydrogen-powered vehicles, especially for use in warehouses and production halls. Forklift trucks, industrial trucks and other commercial vehicles benefit from hydrogen technology, which is both emission-free and efficient.

Industry success stories

FAQ area

PEM electrolysis is particularly suitable for industrial applications because it operates dynamically (fast load changes for PV/wind), delivers very pure H₂ qualities for process and raw material paths, is modularly scalable (from PoC to MW classes) and can be easily integrated into existing systems thanks to compact skids. The solid polymer electrolyte simplifies operation and maintenance. In addition, partial load operation and frequent start/stop operation are easily manageable and therefore ideal for flexible industrial processes.

The use of hydrogen is quite versatile. Hydrogen can be used as process heat, as a reducing agent (e.g. steel) and as a raw material for NH₃, MeOH or synthesis gases.

Green hydrogen is climate-neutral if the electricity required comes entirely from renewable sources. The decisive factors are certificates of origin, the operation of the plant and the entire supply chain.

The production of green hydrogen is energy-intensive and is currently not the most efficient method of using renewable energy. Nevertheless, green hydrogen produced using renewable electricity is considered essential for climate neutrality.

It sets guidelines for production, infrastructure and market ramp-up with a focus on industrial applications in the hydrogen economy.

The electricity price, plant capacity utilization and efficiency have the greatest influence. Other factors are investment costs, maintenance, location, grid fees and certification.

Yes, depending on the project constellation, investment/operating cost subsidies and infrastructure programs. We are happy to check suitable options.
