Nested Applications

Hydrogen – an energy-rich element with versatile applications

Hydrogen (H₂) is the lightest element in the periodic table and the most abundant chemical element in the universe. On Earth, it occurs predominantly in bound form – for example, in water or hydrocarbons. In technical applications, hydrogen is valued for its high reactivity, flammability, and thermal conductivity. When burned, it produces only water – without CO₂ emissions – which makes hydrogen an attractive sustainable energy source.

Industrial production of hydrogen

On an industrial scale, hydrogen gas is mainly produced by steam reforming of fossil fuels (e.g., natural gas) and by water electrolysis. The focus of the energy transition is increasingly on green hydrogen, which is produced using renewable energy sources – for example, by electrolysis with wind or solar power.

Applications of hydrogen – Flexible use in many industries

The applications of hydrogen are wide-ranging. Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, hydrogen has become indispensable in many key industries.

 

Typical areas of application:

  • Chemical industry: used as a raw material in ammonia and methanol production
  • Refineries: desulfurization of fuels (hydrodesulfurization)
  • Food industry: fat hardening in margarine and cooking oil production
  • Metal processing: as a protective or forming gas in heat treatment
  • Energy technology: fuel for hydrogen fuel cells
  • Analytics: carrier gas and combustion gas in gas chromatography (e.g., FID detectors)

Our high-purity hydrogen products are used wherever absolute process reliability and purity are required.
