Decarbonising the industry for a climate-neutral future
Power-to-X technologies
Green hydrogen provides the opportunity for a CO2-free economy even in areas where electricity cannot be readily applied. In difficult to abate sectors such as cement, chemical, petrochemicals and steel industries, its use not only makes sense, there is often no real alternative. In the steel industry, for example, hydrogen can replace coke as a reducing agent. In the chemical industry, green hydrogen can replace fossil-fuelled processes or even, together with CO2, replace petroleum as a raw material for many products. Theoretically, hydrogen can completely replace oil and gas. Green hydrogen is indispensable to achieving not only the electricity transition, but also the energy transition in general.
Our commitment in South Africa
Active projects
Hydrogen can only help with climate protection if it is green, i.e. produced with renewable energies. On the other hand, its large-scale use will only ever be possible if it is also economical. That's why we are focusing on reducing the cost of producing green hydrogen. Together with our partners, we find individual solutions that are also financially viable in the long term.
We help you to make a successful and safe transition to a CO2-free future, despite increasingly complex energy procurement and confusing regulations. All project participants benefit from our many years of international experience in the field of renewable energy.
Together with S.E.T. Select Energy, we plan to produce and market synthetic fuels from renewable energy (e-fuels) in South Africa. A corresponding memorandum of understanding was signed in 2023.The project on the west coast of South Africa is expected to generate up to 500,000 tons of e-fuels per year from green hydrogen produced via electrolysis. The electrolyser with a nominal capacity of approx. 1 GW is powered by energy from wind farms and photovoltaic plants.
