A net zero future requires hydrogen at scale
The large-scale production, transport, storage and utilization of hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels such as ammonia and methanol is essential on the pathway to net zero and a clean energy future as highlighted in DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook. Many hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX) pilot projects are ongoing all over the world. Now we need to scale up safely and realize commercial projects for a real impact on emissions, energy- and food security.
DNV’s experience with technical assurance and involvement in over 350 Hydrogen and PtX projects during the last decades, has put us in a unique position to help our customers scale up safely. Our services cover the entire energy value chain. We provide assurance and manage risks, advance safety and sustainable performance, set industry benchmarks, and inspire and invent solutions within production, transport, storage and the use of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen and synthetic fuels.
Changing the timeline for hydrogen and PtX on the horizon to realization
From production to consumption, the business case for scaling up hydrogen and PtX is growing. Yet, to fully realize the potential, industry and governments are faced with a set of interrelated challenges from infrastructure and production to safety, sustainability, regulations and standards. With DNV’s range of advisory, verification, certification and digital monitoring services, in addition to full-scale testing facilities, and experience across the energy, oil and gas and maritime industries, we are in a unique position to help our customers change the timeline for hydrogen and PtX projects on the horizon to realization. We support investors, developers, asset owners and governments decide with confidence on options and bring economic and technical certainty to solutions. We have undertaken technical assurance projects for 90 years, and over the last decades we have been involved in 350 Hydrogen and PtX projects across the entire value chain. Today, we are recognized as a trusted advisor in utilizing hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels into a safe, reliable and clean feedstock and energy carrier.DNV accelerates the realization of hydrogen and PtX
