However, as costs drop and the technology becomes more sophisticated, renewable energy is set to play an increasingly important role in tomorrow’s energy market.
Applying various process technologies to efficiently produce fuels from biomass is a promising line of business for our Engineering Division.
The engineering team at Linde has also developed innovative technologies to capture and use biogas, along with cost-efficient vehicle fuelling solutions.
Hydrogen is widely regarded as the energy carrier of the future. Particularly once we achieve industrial-scale production of green hydrogen from regenerative energy sources, this energy carrier will be in a league of its own.
We are currently researching, for example, the industrial-scale production of hydrogen from green algae. In addition, we are exploring the possibility of using biogenic substances from renewable, non-food sources. We have already produced commercially viable hydrogen with this process.
