APPLICATION
1. Driving equipment fuel
CLEANITIATIVE’s PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment is zero-emission and pollution-free hydrogen production system. Mobility leaves a footprint - at least up to now. Hydrogen from our PEM electrolysis can be used directly for fuel cells and is therefore emission-free and climate-friendly. That makes traffic cleaner and quieter.
2. Decarbonization of domestic energy systems
Water electrolysis produces not only hydrogen, but also ca 50 °C heat as a by-product. This is valuable energy that can be fed into the district heating network or used directly to heat residential and commercial premises. Fuel cell heating systems also benefit from the principle of cogeneration.
3. Decarbonization of industrial processes
The production and processing of industry raw materials and goods, the hydrogen can be used as reducing agent and protective gas, which can greatly reduce the generationand emission of greenhouse gas (CO2), improve the industrial production process to be green and pollution-free, thus benefit some enterprises under the background of carbon neutrality, e.g. heating of kilns in glass, cement or steel production.
4. Raw material for synthetic industrial goods
Mixing hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) produces a high-quality syngas. this is a pioneering process for capturing CO2 emissions and using them to produce the chemical building blocks for chemicals, polymers or synthetic fuels. Even the production of ammonia (NH3), the main ingredient for mineral fertilizers, is possible with climate-friendly green hydrogen.
5. Energy storage for balancing the power grid
Surplus electricity is converted into green hydrogen via electrolysis with water. This can be stored conveniently and over a long period of time in the natural gas grid or in tanks, and accessed again when renewables aren’t available.
