Hydrogen for fuel cells that power progressive industries
There is a major shift towards using hydrogen as an energy source and material asset.
Hydrogen replaces fossil fuels, improving air quality and reducing CO2 emissions. Hydrogen is a carrier of energy, addressing energy storage and renewables intermittency.
And as the energy transition reaches tipping point, an 8 fold increase in hydrogen demand is projected by 2050, resulting in a reduction of 60 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
At BUSE we see lots of application opportunities for hydrogen fuel cells and the cylinder packs and manifolds that are required by them.
Hydrogen in portable and modular sites
For portable and modular construction sites, hydrogen can serve as a clean, efficient energy source for power generation. Coupled with BUSE’s high-quality cylinders and manifolds, hydrogen provides a mobile and flexible fuel solution that can be easily transported and scaled according to site requirements.
This setup is ideal for temporary locations without access to the electrical grid, offering an eco-friendly alternative to diesel generators.
Hydrogen for fuel cells and plant equipment
In industrial plant settings, off grid and remote locations hydrogen can be used to fuel equipment and provide a constant power supply in hard to reach locations.
Utilising BUSE cylinders and manifolds ensures a steady and safe supply of hydrogen, which can help reduce the plant’s carbon footprint. Hydrogen-fuelled systems are particularly beneficial in industries looking to decrease emissions and comply with tightening environmental regulations.
Hydrogen in manufacturing
Hydrogen is gaining traction in the manufacturing sector as a clean alternative for various processes.
For example, hydrogen can be used in heat treatment processes such as baking and drying, where its high combustion efficiency can improve energy usage and reduce production costs.
BUSE’s cylinders and manifold systems facilitate the safe and precise control of hydrogen flow, crucial for maintaining consistent quality in food production.
Hydrogen in mining
Hydrogen offers a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels in mining operations, especially in remote and off-grid locations. It can be used to power vehicles and equipment, reducing the reliance on diesel and cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions.
BUSE’s robust cylinders and manifolds enable the easy handling and distribution of hydrogen, even in the challenging environments typical of mining sites.
Hydrogen in laboratories
In scientific and research laboratories, hydrogen is often used as a carrier gas in chromatography and as a reactant in various chemical processes.
The purity of hydrogen is crucial in these applications, and BUSE’s cylinders provide a secure and contamination-free supply. Additionally, the compact and modular nature of BUSE’s manifold systems allows for efficient space utilisation in often cramped laboratory settings.
