In today’s path towards a zero-emissions future, decarbonisation efforts from the industrial sector have become more and more important. In that sense, green hydrogen could play a key role in global efforts to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, and hydrogen-ready RTOs could be key in this process.
As you all know, hydrogen is the most abundant chemical element on the planet, being present in 75 % of matter. However, hydrogen is never found alone, but combined with other chemical elements, such as oxygen forming water, or carbon forming organic compounds.
Since it cannot be found alone in nature, hydrogen needs to be obtained or produced. And the method that we use to obtain it determines whether that hydrogen is a sustainable fuel or not. Hydrogen is obtained by means of electrolysis – the decomposition of water in its 2 basic components: hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2), by means of an electrical current.
Depending on whether the way of obtaining hydrogen is less or more environmentally-friendly, we can talk about grey hydrogen, blue hydrogen, green hydrogen, etc.
By green hydrogen we mean hydrogen that has been produced in a climate-neutral way, using renewable energies and without generating pollutant emissions, meaning it’s sustainable hydrogen, and so it helps towards decarbonisation.
All contributions towards decarbonisation and towards a zero-emissions future are key in today’s industrial processes, and Tecam can help you with that.
When it comes to helping the industry eliminate their VOC emissions, there are several technologies that can be installed. One of them being Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO).
But how can Tecam RTO technology contribute to decarbonisation and energy transition?
- All burners that Tecam incorporates inside Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers and other technologies are hydrogen-ready (for all kinds of hydrogen: green, blue, grey, etc.)
- RTOs are CO2-neutral
- Zero CO2 emissions, in comparison with natural gas
The fact that Tecam RTOs are hydrogen-ready means that Tecam’s burners are prepared to work with this kind of fuel for a truly environmentally-friendly result.
