How digital is driving the H2 energy transition

Advanced process control (APC) and other production optimization technologies improve safety, energy efficiency and overall operation stability. Additionally, as green H2 technologies are deployed, microgrid management can maintain the reliability of the energy supply to maximize power availability for H2 production.

Fuel gas blending: Follow the H2 signal

H2 can be used as a feedstock in various chemical processes (e.g., hydrotreating in a refinery or ammonia production) or as a fuel across several types of power or heat generating equipment, including boilers, turbines and engines, among others. In this latter function, it can be burned in its pure form or blended with natural gas to reduce overall carbon emissions.

H2U Technologies and Tokyo Gas enter joint agreement to develop low-cost electrolyzers

H2U Technologies and Tokyo Gas have partnered under a multi-year Joint Development Agreement to discover novel catalysts and develop techniques to apply those catalysts onto membranes. The companies will leverage H2U’s proprietary Catalyst Discovery Engine to reduce the cost of proton exchange membrane electrolyzers.

Optimize green and blue H2 plants with a digital-first strategy

Green and blue H2 production may involve different processes, but they both require the same thing: automated and intelligent controlled chemical-reaction units. These units are needed for H2 production through traditional steam methane reforming with carbon capture for blue H2.

Digitalization and the energy transition

According to Gulf Energy Information’s Global Energy Infrastructure database, there are 236 blue H2 projects worldwide. Many of these projects use SMR or autothermal reforming with CCS. A large portion of these projects are in North America and Europe.
