Hydrogen and carriers

The green hydrogen-based economy faces not only the challenge of cost-effective generation, but also that of safe storage and transportation, which substantially increases the cost of the final product. At Sener, we accompany our clients when it comes to evaluating different options for storing and shipping H₂ as compressed, liquid, converted to ammonia or other carriers currently under study.

Our marine and liquefied natural gas experience puts us in an excellent position to design, for example, ammonia terminals and hydrogen gas carriers. Once it has reached its destination, we have the capability to conceive the processes of unloading, ammonia cracking, gasification, injection into hydroduct or into the natural gas pipeline network to transport that H₂ to its final use.

At Sener, we are already present in:

• Optimization of the design of hydrogen generation plants, especially with high-power plants in mind.
• Analysis of the different options for storage, transport and use of H2, either in carriers or for the production of other products such as synthetic fuels.
• Design of hydrogen transportation networks.
• Design of mixing solutions for H₂ with natural gas for industrial uses, for example, in steel mills.
• Injection into combined cycle gas turbines.
• Use of fuel cells for power generation.
• Use of co-generation solutions (CHP) for buildings, with fuel cells, engines or microturbines.
• Integration of H₂ refilling station solutions for mobility.
