Sealing competence for hydrogen production, storage and transportation
At EagleBurgmann we recognize the need for a transition to renewable energy sources to achieve net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. For this, hydrogen will play a large role, a gas that EagleBurgmann is very familiar with and can offer sealing solutions for production, distribution and storage purposes.
Hydrogen is often referred to as the “Swiss Army Knife” of fuels due to its role as a fuel/energy storer for renewable electricity and its widespread use in various industrial applications. As a molecule, hydrogen contains the highest energy content per kilogram of any molecule in the universe and is the backbone of many fuels, chemicals and building materials used globally. For this reason, hydrogen can be used to help to decarbonize the major CO2 producing sectors, i.e. transport, heating and industry. Hydrogen is useful in hard to abate industrial sectors, especially those that cannot be electrified, such as steel and cement production, as well as long haul and heavy-duty transportation where batteries are not feasible due to weight and range restrictions.
With over 130 years of sealing experience and 230 delivered projects in the field of hydrogen, EagleBurgmann offers the know-how and products to support this rapidly growing industry.
