Hydrogen as a CO₂-neutral energy carrier
Hydrogen is among the fuels with the highest flame temperature and burning velocity. Long before the rise of power-to-fuel concepts, it was already used as an energy source in industrial applications. Hydrogen often arises as a by-product of chlorine production or conventional processes such as steam reforming. Even when mixed with other hydrocarbons, it serves – among other things – to heat reformer plants.
For more than a decade, specialised burner systems have been developed and supplied for a wide range of hydrogen concentrations, suitable for all kinds of production plants. Hydrogen is also used for the alternative firing of steam generators, where it plays a significant role as an emission-free energy carrier.
The burner systems used as well as the associated measurement and safety technology are specifically designed and certified for hydrogen operation. Heat-resistant materials and an optimised gas-feed design ensure a long service life.
Ammonia as a hydrogen carrier
Alongside hydrogen, ammonia (NH₃) is another synthetic energy carrier that can be used without CO₂ emissions. Compared with hydrogen, ammonia is significantly easier to store and transport – an advantage that secures its central role in future fuel-to-power scenarios. PAVIK is actively engaged with this topic to be prepared for the future market and to offer the relevant technologies.
