Hydrogen

Regardless of whether you want to use hydrogen as a zero-emissions source of fuel, a feedstock gas for industry or a source of heat and power for buildings, Linde offers technologies and expertise to support your project every step of the way.

Hydrogen as a fuel for a cleaner future

Climate change is already happening and is not a distant threat anymore. As a result of the Paris Agreement, more and more countries, regions, cities and the companies that serve them are establishing ambitious carbon neutrality targets and looking for solutions that will allow them to reach those goals – hydrogen is set to play an important role in a new energy system. Due to hydrogen’s versatility, it is proving to be a key enabler of the transition to low and zero-carbon energy to help meet climate change targets.

The path to green hydrogen

Even though hydrogen is colorless, it is classified as gray, blue and green, depending on its carbon intensity.
Gray and blue hydrogen are important steppingstones on the path to green hydrogen as they will allow for the necessary frameworks and infrastructures to be developed while green hydrogen production reaches the necessary scale.
Green hydrogen is environmentally friendly and generates no carbon dioxide emissions.

We can produce hydrogen from a range of feedstocks and natural resources. Using processes like steam reforming, we generate gray hydrogen from natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or naphtha, which is the most common, and cheapest, hydrogen production process today. This process can be converted into blue hydrogen production by adding carbon capture and storage technologies. And, to generate green hydrogen we use electrolysis technology with renewable energy as feedstock. An alternative production method is steam methane reforming with biomass as feedstock.
