Hydrogen

Hydrogen

To meet the climate targets set out by the Paris 2015 Agreement, namely further decre­asing CO2 emissions, it is necessary to increase the share of renewable energy in the energy mix and to replace fossil fuels at a progressive rate. Hydrogen has the great advantage that it cannot only be used as a long-term storage solution for electric power but also as a feedstock for industry, or as fuel for mobility.

With the worldwide enthu­siasm for hydrogen rising, and the number of hydrogen-related under­ta­kings incre­asing, it is foreseeable that the role of hydrogen, and in parti­cular green hydrogen, will continue to grow in the future. ILF endeavors to contribute to the shaping of a sustainable future by applying its knowledge and experience in the pipeline, refinery and petro­che­mical plant business – gained over the past 20 years – to the design of hydrogen production, storage and transport facilities.

ILF’s engineering expertise covers the entire hydrogen value chain and offers solutions for a large spectrum of hydrogen-related projects. This includes the design of facilities for renewable electricity generation, water treatment and desali­nation, as well as hydrogen production, storage, and transport.

ILF renders all the services required for the successful imple­men­tation of hydrogen projects.
