Green Hydrogen Production
Advancing water management to help elevate efficiency, productivity, and reliability for electrolytic hydrogen production
Water plays a crucial role in green hydrogen production, serving as a feedstock, process medium, and energy transfer medium. As water scarcity and climate change present growing challenges, industries are increasingly adopting innovative solutions to optimize water usage.
We are committed to sustainability and advancing water performance to help support efficient, reliable, and profitable hydrogen production through comprehensive water management solutions.

Global drivers for green hydrogen production
Around the world, governments are supporting this transition with new policies and investments. At the same time, companies are looking for trusted collaborations to help them operate more efficiently. At Ecolab, we're committed to supporting green hydrogen producers to scale solutions that protect resources and advance global sustainability.
Pressing challenges in the industry today

Water Security
Green hydrogen production is highly water-intensive and requires a substantial water supply. Implementing advanced water recycling technologies to help ensure a sustainable and reliable water supply, particularly in regions facing water scarcity, is critical for long-term production.

Reliable Cooling Systems
Scaling up electrolysis processes requires a robust cooling strategy. Improper cooling can lead to decreased efficiency, potential downtime, and higher operational costs. It is critical to manage both the quantity and quality of water in cooling systems to address issues such as scaling, corrosion, and biological contamination.

Operational Variability
The availability of renewable electricity is variable, which means green hydrogen production does not operate in a steady state. We aim to minimize electrolyzer performance degradation through innovation, real-time control and digital insights, enhancing efficiency and supporting reliability.
