Hydrogen

Hydrogen is seen as the key to a climate-neutral future. It can be produced sustainably, imported and transported in large quantities and stored safely over long periods of time. HTM is focussing on sustainable hydrogen as the energy carrier of the future for applications that are difficult to electrify

Theory of colours

Grey hydrogen

Production of hydrogen from fossil fuels such as natural gas (by steam reforming) and coal (by gasification)

Turquoise hydrogen

Production of hydrogen from natural gas by thermal cracking (methane pyrolysis) – without CO₂ emissions, as only solid carbon is produced.

Blue hydrogen

Production of hydrogen from fossil fuels with capture of the resulting CO₂ (carbon capture)

Green hydrogen

Production of green hydrogen by electrolysis with 100 % electricity from renewable energies

Hydrogen as an energy source

High energy density enables broad application ​

With its high energy density and good storage capacity, hydrogen enables hydrogen enables a reliable and sustainable energy supply for mobility – over long ranges

No CO2 emissions from the fuel ​​

As no CO₂ is produced during the combustion of hydrogen, this fuel is ideal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in your vehicle fleet

Hydrogen as an energy carrier

One energy source - several fields of application

Hydrogen is a sustainable and CO2-free energy carrier that plays a key role in the decarbonisation of various industries. Hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis using electricity from renewable energies, stored efficiently and transported via pipelines, trailers or pressurised gas cylinders. It is used in key areas such as energy and mobility.

Our approach is to look at the entire value chain – from production to utilisation. Together with our partners along this chain, we develop holistic solutions that meet the challenges of the energy transition.
