As the world pivots towards sustainable energy systems, green hydrogen is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of future energy strategies. Its potential spans the entire value chain, from hydrogen production, storage and transportation to end-use applications, presenting a multitude of opportunities for reducing carbon footprints and enhancing energy security.
Hydrogen production
Hydrogen storage and transportation
Hydrogen end-use
- Electrolysis
- H₂ purification
- Compression
- Pumps
- Storage tanks
- Flow control
- Pipelines
- Transporation
- Heavy duty machines
- Power generation
- Domestic heat
However, the transition to a hydrogen-based economy is not without its challenges. One of the critical hurdles is the need for reliable and efficient sealing solutions for electrolyzers, fuel cells and other hydrogen systems. These components must withstand harsh operating conditions, including high pressures, temperatures, and chemical reactions. As the industry shifts from manual production to high-volume, semi-automated, or fully automated manufacturing, the demand for advanced sealing solutions becomes even more pressing.
