Make decarbonisation happen with our services for low-carbon and green hydrogen
Integrating renewable energy into existing industries and infrastructure will not work without hydrogen. To achieve a carbon-free economy, we need to increase the amount of energy from renewable sources like photovoltaic, wind, and geothermal. Simultaneously we need to make this energy available to an existing industry, energy, and mobility infrastructure. Power-to-X solutions based on low carbon and green hydrogen will be a central element to master this challenge successfully.

Your company's challenges while developing and integrating hydrogen into the business strategy and processes can vary greatly. Prominent examples from our customers include uncertainty regarding financial risks, dealing with authorities, internationalisation of products, and training and qualification of employees.
At TÜV SÜD, we have developed a service portfolio and hydrogen ecosystem that exceed the specific services in the industry. As a result, we will help you eliminate risks and ensure safety from strategy to operation.
With over 150 years of experience in safety, security, and sustainability and over 1000 locations worldwide, we are by your side and can help you as a reliable partner in all your hydrogen projects.
We have decades of experience with hydrogen technology, applications, and equipment. Over 500 of our experts are experienced with hydrogen and ensure high availability and leading know-how for almost any customer request. Popular services include employee qualification and staff training, our extensive network of component testing and high-pressure laboratories, plant monitoring, and H2 readiness checks.
We are aware that many of our customers need support to navigate the hydrogen market to understand the advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen in the context of their business and target market. At TÜV SÜD, we can deliver safety, certification, and market access services that will enable you to develop and integrate hydrogen while minimising risks and ensuring compliance with regulations and standards.
In addition, we realise the need of many of our customers for support with business decisions and external expertise along the whole project lifecycle of hydrogen projects. With our subsidiaries LBST and evety, we can offer help and guidance in these situations. LBST can deliver insights into the future of hydrogen in your market and help your business to make well-informed decisions. Evety can add value throughout the entire hydrogen project lifecycle with a consultancy that enables you to navigate the complex hydrogen market.
"The costs of low carbon hydrogen will decrease significantly in the future. That will enable a wide variety of economically viable hydrogen applications. We help our customers to execute projects that allow them to capitalise on this trend." – Dr Klaus Altfeld, CEO evety
We have established relationships with regulators and RCS committees which means our documentation is accepted globally. In combination with our global network of global market access (GMA) managers and hydrogen specialists, you can effectively target international markets.
