Hexagon Composites (Ålesund, Norway) subsidiary Hexagon Purus, through its wholly owned subsidiary Wystrach GmbH (Weeze, Germany), has received an order for hydrogen distribution systems from a long-standing customer, a German industrial gas company. Wystrach’s hydrogen transport systems with Hexagon Purus’ Type IV composite pressure vessels will be used to deliver hydrogen for industrial applications in this region. The value of the order is approximately €5.2 million (approximately NOK 52 million).
“Our hydrogen distribution concept has become a standard across the industry through close cooperation with our customers,” Matthias Kötter, head of sales Wystrach, Hexagon Purus, says. “We are proud to continue supporting the development of the hydrogen infrastructure in Germany.”
According to Hexagon Purus, the industrial sector is accountable for close to 30% of annual carbon emissions globally, and hydrogen has a significant role to play in reducing these emissions, particularly in “hard to abate” sectors. Making green hydrogen available for use in industrial processes is critical to reduce carbon emissions.
More than $70 billion in government funding is committed to hydrogen investments, more than 500 large-scale hydrogen projects have been announced by the industry to date and green hydrogen is projected to supply up to 25% of the world’s energy needs by 2050.
Delivery of the hydrogen systems is scheduled from Q2 2023 to Q3 2023.
