Linde is truly a leader when it comes to developing innovative hydrogen technologies.
Our purpose is to exploit the regenerative, low-emissions potential of this promising source of energy. As the largest hydrogen plant engineer in the world and Europe’s leading gases company, Linde has been supplying hydrogen for the most varied of applications in the chemical, petrochemical and food industry for example since 1910.
Now, thanks to a range of hydrogen breakthroughs, including innovative fuelling and supply systems, Linde is also well-positioned to lead the move in establishing hydrogen as one of tomorrow’s strategic energy sources.
Hydrogen can be generated from both fossil fuels and renewable energy sources. Primary renewable sources include solar energy, hydropower, wind power and biomass.
The electricity generated from these renewable sources is generally used to power electrolysis. This creates hydrogen by splitting water into its basic elements, oxygen and hydrogen. Hydrogen can, however, also be made directly by microorganisms such as microalgae.
The biomass process chain involves first turning the raw material into a hydrogenous gas which can then be used to generate hydrogen.
You will find a description of the process involved in generating green hydrogen from regenerative energy sources on our hydrogen site at www.linde-gas.com.
