Hydrogen economy on an industrial scale – modular storage & transport solutions

The hydrogen economy is regarded as a pivotal element of the global energy transition, encompassing all processes along the hydrogen value chain – from production, storage, and transportation to its utilization in industry, mobility, energy provision, and heat generation. The objective is to supersede fossil fuels, thereby making a decisive contribution to the decarbonization of the economy.
Nevertheless, numerous technical, economic, and infrastructural obstacles exist on the path to establishing a functional hydrogen economy, which Hexagon Purus is actively addressing. Through high-pressure hydrogen storage systems, modular transport solutions, mobile refueling systems, and zero-emission plant logistics solutions, Hexagon Purus establishes the technical foundation for a secure, flexible, and economical hydrogen infrastructure – spanning from production to consumption.

Hydrogen functions as an emission-free feedstock for the steel and chemical industries, an energy source for buses, trucks, trains, ships, and aircraft within hydrogen mobility, a storage medium for renewable energy, and a versatile solution for industrial process heat. Particularly in sectors challenging to electrify – the so-called hard-to-abate sectors – hydrogen is indispensable for achieving climate objectives.
Gaseous hydrogen can be utilized with notable efficiency in fuel cells and is readily distributable. Conversely, liquid hydrogen offers significant advantages for protracted storage and heavy-duty transportation. Hydrogen's strengths are most evident in areas where electrification poses considerable challenges.

The primary fields of application include:

• Fuel for vehicles, airplanes, ships and trains
• Raw material for industrial processes (e.g. steel and chemical industry)
• Energy storage (e.g. storage of surplus electricity)
• Conversion back into electricity for power generation
• Fuel for heating systems
• Use in heat and power supply
• Transportation (especially in heavy goods traffic)
• Use in aviation and shipping
• Use as a low-emission alternative in sectors that are difficult to electrify

With its high gravimetric energy density and adaptable utilization across industrial and mobility sectors, hydrogen is evolving into an indispensable component for a climate-neutral economy.

Ensuring a dependable hydrogen supply necessitates end-to-end networked systems that intelligently integrate production, storage, transportation, and utilization – even under demanding conditions such as high consumption, dynamic load profiles, and significant geographical distances between source and application.
Hexagon Purus addresses these challenges through a holistic technological approach. At its core lies a modular ecosystem for hydrogen logistics solutions, encompassing high-pressure storage solutions, storage and transport systems, as well as zero-emission solutions for plant transportation and production logistics.
These systemic solutions translate the vision of a hydrogen economy into practical reality – one that is scalable, economical, and safe. Hexagon Purus provides not only individual components but also a connecting infrastructure that serves as an enabler for the climate-friendly industry of the future.
