According to Hexagon Purus, the industrial sector is accountable for close to 30% of annual carbon emissions globally, and hydrogen has a significant role to play in reducing these emissions, particularly in “hard to abate” sectors. Making green hydrogen available for use in industrial processes is critical to reduce carbon emissions.

More than $70 billion in government funding is committed to hydrogen investments, more than 500 large-scale hydrogen projects have been announced by the industry to date and green hydrogen is projected to supply up to 25% of the world’s energy needs by 2050.

Delivery of the hydrogen systems is scheduled from Q2 2023 to Q3 2023.
