Hydrogen industry solutions

Hydrogen industry solutions integrate hydrogen as a viable energy source in industrial processes, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, cement, and petrochemicals. The current landscape shows increasing interest in hydrogen adoption as industries seek sustainable pathways for decarbonisation amid global climate initiatives.

TÜV SÜD helps you navigate complex regulations regarding hydrogen and integrate industrial hydrogen applications into operations.

Hydrogen is an essential decarbonisation pathway for heavy industries to reduce carbon emissions and meet regulatory targets by contributing to more sustainable operations. A notable example is the steel manufacturing sector, where hydrogen can substitute coal as the reducing agent in the Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) process.

Integrating hydrogen into existing processes and systems can present significant technical challenges. Ensuring safe hydrogen storage, handling and integration solutions in industrial processes is critical to avoid accidents and meet compliance requirements.

TÜV SÜD has decades of safety assessment and compliance certification experience and is well-positioned to guide you through the complexities of integrating hydrogen into your operations. We have successfully supported clients in hard-to-abate industries, such as steel, cement, and petrochemicals, in their journey to Hydrogen adoption.

Our team of experts combines global expertise with local understanding. This means that we are not only aware of international best practices but also understand the specific regulatory environments and market conditions of the regions where you operate.

Our teams’ in-depth regulatory and industry standards knowledge helps you to navigate hydrogen transition challenges. To help you achieve decarbonisation goals efficiently and effectively, we use proven methodologies and a wide range of services tailored to the hydrogen sector. This includes safety advisory services, hydrogen project readiness assessments, and specialised training programmes.

We take the time to understand your unique challenges and requirements. This enables us to deliver customised solutions that align with your specific operational needs and strategic goals. This comprehensive approach will help you to address all aspects of hydrogen adoption, from initial risk assessments to ongoing operational training.
