GREEN HYDROGEN (H2)

MCE knowhow & technological experience of Green Hydrogen production methods, applications across various sectors & the environmental advantages it presents, 

MCE covers every link in the Green Hydrogen value chain from source to service. 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, MCE have the open technological solutions to support your project – every step of the way.

Hydrogen is a simple molecule comprising two Hydrogen atoms (H2). Green Hydrogen (H2) is obtained by splitting water by electrolysis (electrolyser technologies (proton-exchange membranes)).The electricity needed for this electrolysis process is generated exclusively from renewable sources. 

Green Hydrogen, also known as Renewable Hydrogen, distinguishes itself by its clean production process. Unlike Grey Hydrogen, derived from fossil fuels, Green Hydrogen is produced through electrolysis using renewable energy sources, resulting in an emission-free energy carrier.

PRODUCTION METHODS: - ELECTROLYSIS:

At the heart of Green Hydrogen production lies electrolysis, a process where water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity. When powered by renewable energy sources like wind or solar, this process produces clean and Green Hydrogen. Electrolysis is pivotal in driving the Green Hydrogen revolution, aligning with sustainability goals and reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. 

DISTRIBUTION AND STORAGE:

Once the hydrogen has been processed, it needs to be transported to the point of use. MCE have both the equipment and the open technologies to efficiently transport both gaseous and liquid hydrogen to its destination or to store it until needed. MCE work closely with our customers to find the perfect fit for every storage and distribution challenge.

HOW GREEN HYDROGEN DIFFERS FROM OTHER FORMS OF HYDROGEN:

Comparatively, Green Hydrogen is a sustainable alternative to grey and blue hydrogen. Grey Hydrogen is derived from natural gas and is associated with carbon emissions, while Blue Hydrogen incorporates carbon capture and storage to mitigate these emissions. Green Hydrogen, however, is entirely carbon-free, aligning with our climate goals and fostering a sustainable energy landscape.

In conclusion, Green Hydrogen embodies a sustainable energy revolution, offering a pathway to a low-carbon, clean energy future. As technological advancements continue and global collaboration strengthens, Green Hydrogen stands poised to play a transformative role in our journey towards a greener and more sustainable world. 

APPLICATIONS:

By replacing fossil fuels in various applications, Green Hydrogen shall play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions, aligning with global climate targets and combating climate change effectively. It significantly mitigates the carbon footprint

It offers a clean energy source for heavy industries like steel and cement production, paving the way for decarbonisation. 

In the transportation sector, hydrogen fuel cells powered by Green Hydrogen promise zero-emission solutions, revolutionizing cars, buses, trucks, and even trains.

With zero tailpipe emissions, Green Hydrogen -powered vehicles contribute to improving air quality and public health, reducing pollutants that harm both the environment and human health. This transition to cleaner transportation has far-reaching positive effects on communities and urban areas.

Excess renewable energy can be utilized for electrolysis to produce hydrogen, which can be stored and converted back to electricity when needed, supporting grid stability and reliability.
