Fuel cells have often been touted as a clean power technology of the future, offering a solution to the decarbonization challenges for combustion engine vehicles. 

This article presents actionable insights from a full-conversion project in Europe and three partial-transition cases in the U.S., highlighting phased, cost-conscious approaches that reduce emissions while leveraging existing infrastructure. 

This article explains how a blue H2 plant works, with a focus on the critical control valves that ensure maximum efficiency, reliability and production for these processes.  

Distributed control systems (DCSs) and digital optimization tools are essential enablers, mitigating the impact of variable renewables, extending the lifespan of critical equipment and ensuring that every megawatt of power is translated into predictable H2 output. 

This article synthesizes the engineering, operational and economic insights that will shape H2 deployment in thermal power through 2035. 

Multiple project cancellations and calls for a review of the European Union’s (EU’s) official green definitions are likely to have put off some potential investors in Europe’s hydrogen (H2) sector over the last 12 mos. However, the results of the EU’s latest €1-B subsidy auction show that the sector retains significant momentum, with dozens of developers lining up projects across the continent.
