Oslo, Thursday, 17 April 2025.
Hexagon Purus is spotlighting the future of hydrogen, especially the blue variety, as pivotal in bridging fossil fuels and green energy. This shift could significantly curb CO2 emissions while redefining sustainable practices.

Blue Hydrogen as a Bridge Technology

Hexagon Purus sees blue hydrogen as a crucial intermediary in the energy transition. By capturing and storing CO2 emissions, blue hydrogen acts as a compromise between fossil fuels and pure renewable energies. This intermediate phase could help us lower emissions until green hydrogen and similar technologies become widespread [1][2].

Green Hydrogen’s Role and Potential

Green hydrogen, esteemed for its CO2-neutral properties, is paving the way for cleaner energy landscapes. Produced via electrolysis, it promises a climate-neutral energy future and can be adapted across various sectors like mobility and industry. Need a car with a fuel cell? Green hydrogen’s got your back [1][3].

Recent Developments

Interestingly, Hexagon Purus recently landed a deal with MCV to provide hydrogen fuel storage systems for buses across Europe. This deal underscores the push towards hydrogen as a formidable force in decarbonising public transportation. Details of the transaction reveal a focus on high-pressure hydrogen solutions, fabricated in Germany, intended to enhance long-distance bus travel with zero emissions [2][4].

The Challenges of Hydrogen Transport

Transporting hydrogen, whether compressed, liquid, or in chemical form, presents challenges due to its low density and volatility. Hexagon Purus tackles these with innovative storage systems that are safe, efficient, and built to last, using materials that resist corrosion and fatigue [5][6].

A Future Built on Hydrogen

Looking to the future, Hexagon Purus is investing significantly to make sure hydrogen doesn’t just remain a niche player. The company is advancing solutions to handle the complexities of hydrogen storage, like integrating high-pressure, flexible systems that meet strict safety standards [7].

Hydrogen’s Multisectoral Potential

Hydrogen’s charm lies in its versatility—it powers vehicles, propels industrial processes, and aids in electricity generation. For sectors tricky to electrify, hydrogen offers a clean alternative. Imagine steel production or refining without emissions – that’s the hydrogen promise [8].

Conclusion: A Shared Energy Journey

Hexagon Purus’s journey with hydrogen symbolises a compelling shift towards sustainability. It’s not just about replacing carbon but transforming how we power our lives. With continued innovation and commitment, hydrogen might just be the game changer we’ve been waiting for [1][3][8].
