“The hype is over – but the need is real.” With this statement at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, Werner Ponikwar, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera, captured a pivotal shift in the green hydrogen narrative: from inflated expectations to grounded execution. In this article, we’ll break down what this means.

Katharina Immoor, Head of Communications, Public Affairs & ESG, in conversation with Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO of Hydrogen Europe, and Dr. Werner Ponikwar, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera, on the situation in the global hydrogen market.

At thyssenkrupp nucera®, we are at the forefront of innovative solutions in the green hydrogen field, driven by our commitment to meet our customers' evolving needs. Our involvement in the H2Giga initiative, a flagship project aimed at bolstering hydrogen production in Germany, is a testament to our dedication.

As we commemorate the 20th anniversary of thyssenkrupp nucera's® China office, let's journey through two decades of remarkable achievements and pioneering innovations that have solidified our status as industry frontrunners.

With the global push for sustainable energy, green hydrogen production is becoming increasingly vital in the energy transition. While traditional hydrogen production methods largely depend on fossil fuels, emitting vast amounts of CO2 annually, green hydrogen offers a cleaner alternative. In this blog post, we will break down the process of green hydrogen production through water electrolysis, focusing on the methods of alkaline and solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) electrolysis. By understanding these processes, we can see the potential of green hydrogen as the central part of a viable and sustainable energy system.

For those seeking insights into sustainable energy solutions, hydrogen offers a realm of possibilities with broad applications across industries. Understanding how hydrogen is currently utilized and its potential to reshape energy systems is essential for anyone investing in the future of clean technology. This article provides an overview of hydrogen's present uses, the reasons to integrate it into various sectors, and strategic considerations for its growth.

Chlor-alkali technology produces essential chemicals like chlorine and sodium hydroxide, crucial for various industries including pharmaceuticals and water treatment. Digitalization is enhancing this sector by improving operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Read more on how our digital technologies are revolutionizing chlor-alkali processes to maintain industry competitiveness and resilience.

The US chlor-alkali industry is facing a significant shift. Historically, the sector has produced chlorine primarily through diaphragm technology. However, a recent EPA ban on asbestos imports for chlor-alkali production necessitates a transition for many plants in the United States. This move towards asbestos-free production methods has led to the increased implementation of membrane technology in the chlor-alkali industry.

thyssenkrupp nucera offers state-of-the-art chlor-alkali technologies: Bipolar Membrane (BM) Single Element technology, Bipolar Ion-Exchange Membrane Process Electrolyzer (BiTAC), and NaCl Oxygen-Depolarized Cathode Electrolysis technology (NaCl-ODC). Let’s take a closer look at each of these technologies and their benefits.

Fraunhofer IKTS and thyssenkrupp nucera have entered a strategic partnership for SOEC (Solid Oxyde Electrolyte Cell) electrolysis technology. Ulf Bäumer, Head of SOEC and Service & Digitalization, explains what the partnership and the new technology mean for thyssenkrupp nucera’s portfolio - and if high-temperature electrolysis will now replace Alkaline Water Electrolysis.

In the quest for a more sustainable future, the demand for green hydrogen production technologies is on the rise. Among the various options available, Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cells (SOEC) and Alkaline Water Electrolysis (AWE) are two prominent technologies to be considered for the process of water electrolysis. Choosing the right technology is crucial to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In this blog post, we will delve into the details of both SOEC and AWE, providing a comprehensive comparison to help you make an informed decision for your green transformation needs.

The Holland Hydrogen 1 project, which has been recognized as the 2024 World Hydrogen Awards “Clean Hydrogen Project of the Year” by the Sustainable Energy Council, brings together thyssenkrupp nucera’s electrolysis know-how, Shell’s knowledge of the energy system, and the port’s infrastructure to build a ground-breaking 200 MW green hydrogen facility in Rotterdam.

At thyssenkrupp nucera, “safety first” is more than a principle we embrace on World Day for Safety and Health at Work—it’s a philosophy that guides what we do each and every day. We are committed to ensuring safety for our customers, our co-workers, ourselves and our families. Our teams have a clear understanding: Safety starts with each of us, which means stopping any unsafe activity and taking action to make it safe.

It has been 55 years since a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, prompted Senator Gaylord Nelson to propose a national teach-in to protest environmental ignorance and demand action to protect the planet. A pivotal moment in environmental history, Earth Day has since grown into a global phenomenon, with more than 190 countries participating in activities to promote sustainability each year on April 22.

Power-to-X (PtX) technology is at the forefront of the energy transition, transforming green electricity into vital energy carriers such as hydrogen, synthetic fuels, or chemicals, from green electricity. How does PtX work? And why do we need it?

Which water electrolysis technologies are available on the market? What do they have in common? How do they differ? Our overview will shed some light on the subject.
