Heating
From powering industrial processes to keeping your office warm, hydrogen is the versatile energy source that can do it all. With hydrogen, you can enjoy clean and efficient heating while reaching your decarbonization goals.
Hydrogen can be blended with natural gas to heat buildings in a process called hydrogen blending. In this process, a small amount of hydrogen is added to natural gas to create a blend that can be used in existing natural gas infrastructure and appliances, such as boilers and furnaces. Hydrogen blending can be a cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in buildings without requiring significant changes to existing infrastructure or appliances. As more hydrogen is produced and becomes readily available, it is expected that higher blends will become more common and eventually transition to 100% hydrogen.
Heat for Buildings
By switching to hydrogen for heating, hard-to-abate industries can significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen can be produced through a variety of methods, and once produced, it can be used in combustion processes or fuel cells to generate heat and electricity without any emissions.
Heat for Industry
Fleets that use clean fuels to power vehicles are more sustainable. But it’s not enough to be green. Fleets must meet the operational goals of the organization, from duty cycles to budgets. Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) can help de-risk the shift to net-zero across transportation.
With an FCEV and EV fleet, you can build a resilient modular onsite energy and storage system that expands over time. Using existing energy pathways, a modular system monetizes low-cost energy, balances energy supply and demand, provides predictable fleet and operational performance, and fleet autonomy.
Low-cost Energy
50,000 FCEV forklifts are at work in the U.S., offering fast refueling and less maintenance to increase sustainability and productivity. FCEV port drayage trucks, yard tractors, cargo handlers and other small-scale vehicles are in development.
Green-Up Small Transport Modes
Hydrogen removes the limitations of range, battery weight and battery charging that could handicap heavier modes of transport if electrified, such as long-haul trucks, ships and transport by rail or river.
Free-Wheeling Hydrogen
To ensure a holistic transportation strategy, start with a roadmap that combines existing activities into a centralized initiative to assess the opportunity to reduce the total cost of fleet ownership through reduced fuel and maintenance costs.
Sustainable Fleets
From decarbonizing power plants to supplying back up power, hydrogen and its derivatives play a vital role in the global energy transition.
Hydrogen can be used to power fuel cells for a microgrid, which provides reliable backup power for critical infrastructure like hospitals.
Hydrogen Helps Carry the Load
Hydrogen can be used for energy storage which allows for more energy to be generated when other renewable sources are not available.
Hydrogen production has the potential to support the power industry in several ways, including reducing the need for peaker plants.

Commercial businesses with an FCEV and EV fleet can build a resilient modular onsite energy and storage system that expands over time. Using existing energy pathways, a modular system monetizes low-cost energy, balances energy supply and demand, provides predictable fleet and operational performance, and fleet autonomy.
Black & Veatch studied, permitted, and installed more hydrogen refueling stations in the U.S.—including several with on-site hydrogen production—than any other EPC contractor, working in 7 states & across the Midwest, New England, and Southern California.
When building long-term sustainability, transport is a good place to start. To ensure a holistic transportation strategy, start with a roadmap that combines existing activities into a centralized initiative to assess the opportunity to reduce the total cost of fleet ownership through reduced fuel and maintenance costs.
Sustainable fleets use clean fuels to power vehicles. But it’s not enough to be green---fleets must meet the operational goals of the organization, from duty cycles to budgets. Fleets that include FCEV and EV vehicles leverage the strengths of each technology aligned with operation. This helps de-risk the shift to net-zero transportation.
Hydrogen + Sustainable Systems
When it comes to building a low-carbon hydrogen economy, the power of carbon capture, utilization and storage can’t be ignored. From increasing efficiency of hydrogen production to creating by-products from the captured CO2, carbon capture is vital to achieving global carbon emission reduction.
Carbon capture technology reduces carbon emissions but also generates additional revenue streams that can offset the cost of production, making the entire process more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Carbon emissions that are captured and stored can used in other applications, such as creating fertilizers or industrial chemicals.
By using CCUS technology to capture the CO2 emitted during hydrogen production, it can be either stored or reused, which helps make the whole process a lot greener.
Going Green with CCUS
Goodbye Carbon, Hello Production
Optimizing Business Operations
With a combination of hydrogen storage and battery energy storage, energy producers can transform a glut of renewable energy into a high-value asset that expands their revenue streams and catalyzes their business.
Using hydrogen to power microgrids, utilities can further increase their energy independence and grid reliability. Microgrids are small-scale power grids that can operate independently or in conjunction with the larger power grid.
Excess energy from renewable sources like wind and solar can be used to produce hydrogen through a process called electrolysis. The hydrogen can then be stored and used later to generate electricity when renewable sources are not available. Natural salt caverns are large, stable, and impermeable, making them an ideal location for hydrogen energy storage.
Traditional energy storage, often in the form of batteries, provide short-term (typically four hours max) power, but current grids require longer-duration energy storage in order to meet fluctuating energy demands. Long-duration energy storage supports the grid of the future –improving system resilience and lowering the risk of disruptions.
Hydrogen can play a key role in grid planning by providing a flexible and scalable energy storage solution, especially for utilities looking to increase grid reliability. By using hydrogen as an energy carrier and storage medium, utilities can better manage seasonal energy supply and demand, which can help reduce the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades.

Delivering Energy Independence
Hydrogen’s role as a feedstock can boost production of sustainable fuels and improve carbon emissions compared to fossil-based fuels.
Sustainable fuels – those produced from primary renewable resources – have a lower carbon footprint compared to fossil-based fuels. Hydrogen can be a key feedstock for sustainable fuels or used to increase the capacity and conversion yield of sustainable fuels from other primary feedstocks.
Hard-to-abate sectors, like aviation and heavy-duty road transport, face increasing pressure to meet greenhouse gas reduction goals. Sustainable fuels are a near-term solution to lower emissions and accelerate our transition to a lower carbon future. Our eBook explore key considerations when planning for sustainable fuels development.

Hydrogen Hits the Road
From manufacturing products to heating buildings, hydrogen can be integrated into a variety of industrial and commercial processes to further reduce greenhouse gases and improve efficiency.
Hydrogen can be used as a feedstock in a variety of applications, and in many instances is used to produce a more sustainable, higher quality product than could have been produced with alternative feedstocks. For example, hydrogen can be used to produce purer metals and remove impurities from glass. Even some of your favorite food products can benefit from hydrogen as a feedstock – it can be used in the production of a variety of products such as margarine, hydrogenated oils and more.

With a combination of hydrogen storage and battery energy storage, energy producers can transform a glut of renewable energy into a high-value asset that expands their revenue streams and catalyzes their business, helping them grow.
Hydrogen can be stored long-term—from months to even years—to balance the seasons: surplus renewable energy from spring and fall can be stored for use in the summer and winter.
Electrolysis transforms renewable energy into hydrogen. This process allows hydrogen to connect renewable energy to uses that are difficult to electrify such as industrial operations.
