ABB France is working to promote low-carbon hydrogen.
ABB wants to
make it possible for all of its customers to reduce their standard carbon
emissions by 100 million tons by 2030. To make low-carbon hydrogen available,
he established partnerships all around the world.
While the
use of hydrogen is not new, its promise for combating global warming has
dramatically increased its popularity when it is created by electrolyzing water
with low-carbon power. The use of hydrogen as an energy carrier can be used to
electrify and decarbonize usage by providing large-scale electricity storage.
Particularly considering that the most prevalent element in the universe
produces a lot of energy when it burns, which can be used to produce heat in a
variety of settings. ABB is actively involved in the sector's deployment and
working to increase the accessibility, sustainability, and safety of low-carbon
hydrogen.
The new
chapters of the IPCC report and COP26 both reaffirmed the obvious: climate
change is becoming a major global issue. That is
-Line of action for decarbonization: hydrogen
ABB has made
a commitment to helping the world achieve a reduction in carbon emissions of
100 million tonnes by 2030. According to Bruno Roche, Global Head of Energy
Transition, ABB Energy Industries, "Hydrogen is a promise that has its
full position in a plan to decarbonize the earth as soon as we can manufacture
low-carbon hydrogen, from renewable or nuclear sources. The market is
established. It needs to be profitable if we want it to succeed. To
industrialize it, innovation is necessary, and ABB is working on this.
-A full offer at hydrogen's disposal
ABB provides
network connection hardware, software, and services in addition to
electrification and automation solutions for the efficient use of hydrogen
resources. Bruno Roche sums up, "ABB is present across the value chain
(production, uses, storage, transport) and offers a wide range: safety, system
control, process.
ABB may also
rely on its knowledge of industrial processes in-depth, technological know-how
(electricity, automation, digital), experience with public infrastructures, and
creative solutions that enable their decarbonization. a setting that permits
the large-scale development of the hydrogen industry through P3s or international
infrastructure.

-A joint strategy for solving a world problem
Many nations
have made the decision to invest in the hydrogen industry. ABB teams together
with the forerunners and titans of this ecosystem to promote this dynamic. The
goal of these partnerships is to reduce project costs overall while increasing
access to low-carbon hydrogen in order to promptly fulfill increasing demand.
ABB has
created centers of competence and formed relationships on a European level with
this in mind.
In Cergy (Val-d'Oise),
France, ABB maintains a global competence center for "Hydrogen and
electric cars." It plans the engineering for the methods of manufacturing
hydrogen car parts, among other things.
ABB is
creating modular units in Italy for the manufacture of hydrogen derived from
-The first hydrogen barge on the Seine was
called Flagships.
ABB is
working on the first hydrogen barge as part of the European Flagships program,
which aims to provide zero carbon emission water transport. More precisely, it
is working on the electric propulsion and energy management system. Since there
are 11 partners in this project, cooperation is essential. For the Compagnie
Fluviale de Transport (CFT), a division of the Sogestran business, the
"Zulu" barge will round the Seine. At the end of March, the ship made
her way from Holland to Le Havre, where the hydrogen system is being fitted.
ABB Marine & Ports provided the energy storage system and the hydrogen fuel
cell power conversion and control system for the Zulu.
-improving the technology of combustible piles
for large ship propulsion
2020 saw the
signing of an agreement between ABB and Hydrogen of France (HDF). The goal of
the project, which is being carried out in conjunction with the combustible
pile manufacturer Ballard Power Systems, is to develop complete solutions for
ships on a megawatt scale. The assembly of combustible piles will take place in
the new HDF factory close to Bordeaux.
-Electrification of two new hydrogen production
facilities in the United States by Plug Power
Two new
factories, Peachtree in Georgia and Project Gateway in the largest state in the
union, New York, will both have electrical systems provided by ABB. Together,
the factories will produce 60 tonnes of green hydrogen daily to replace roughly
170 tonnes of fossil fuel combustion in the logistics and transportation
sectors.
