Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity sources, considered a critical component for hydrogen's long-term credibility as a clean fuel.

Technology that generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, with water as the only byproduct.

A technology that combines hydrogen and oxygen in a clean, electrochemical process to generate power, releasing only water vapor as a byproduct.

A large-scale hydrogen electrolysis plant to be built at a refinery in Rhineland, Germany. The facility will use industrial-scale polymer electrolyte membrane technology to produce hydrogen from surplus electricity.

An agreement signed by Air Liquide and Hyzon Motors in early 2022 to commercially pilot and test two heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks.

A decentralized green hydrogen production system that uses renewable electricity to power electrolysis, producing hydrogen that can be converted to electrical energy via fuel cells. The system produces only heat and water vapor as by-products.

Early-generation PEM electrolyzer stack produced by hand-built manufacturing processes. Represents the initial development stage of Siemens Energy's electrolyzer product line.

An 18-meter zero-emission hydrogen bus model equipped with a 100-kilowatt hydrogen fuel cell, composite tank, Solaris High Power batteries, and a 240-kilowatt electric motor.

Public refueling infrastructure for hydrogen-powered vehicles. Air Liquide has built and deployed 59 such stations worldwide and is committing to build 10 additional stations across Germany.
