Global drivers for green hydrogen production

Green hydrogen is an important part of building a cleaner, more resilient energy future. As countries and industries work toward climate goals, the need for sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels continues to grow. Powered by renewable electricity, green hydrogen offers a low-carbon solution for sectors that are difficult to decarbonize, like heavy industry and transportation.  

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

The green hydrogen industry is about to make a big impact on sustainable energy. New and innovative solutions are gradually overcoming hurdles like high costs, advanced technology needs, infrastructure, and regulations. As global efforts focus on water security and managing operational challenges, investments and developments in green hydrogen are paving the way for a future with lower carbon emissions, better energy security, and stronger sustainable practices.

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.

Cloud computing

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.
