Paris, Friday, 31 January 2025.
Vallourec’s entry into the Hydrogen Council strengthens its focus on sustainable solutions. With Delphy, their unique hydrogen storage system, Vallourec promises to advance energy decarbonisation on a global stage.

Strategic Alliance Formation

I’m excited to share that Vallourec has just taken a significant step in the clean energy sector by joining the Hydrogen Council as a Supporting Member on January 30, 2025 [1][2]. This global CEO-led initiative now comprises 140 companies across more than 20 countries [1][3], making it a powerful force in advancing hydrogen-based solutions. The collaboration brings together industry giants like Alstom, Fuel Cell Energy, Chevron, and Petronas [1], creating a formidable alliance focused on accelerating the clean energy transition.

Innovative Storage Solutions

What particularly catches my attention is Vallourec’s groundbreaking Delphy storage system. This innovative solution offers scalable hydrogen storage capabilities ranging from 1 to 100 tonnes [1][3]. As someone who follows energy technology closely, I can tell you this is a game-changer - it’s currently unmatched in the market [3]. The system’s vertical design provides safe and efficient storage options for both industrial and mobility applications [2], addressing one of the most crucial challenges in developing green hydrogen infrastructure.

Leadership Perspective

Philippe Guillemot, Vallourec’s Chairman and CEO, emphasizes a crucial point that resonates with me: ‘Close collaboration among all industry players will be critical to turn the ambition of a competitive hydrogen market into a sustainable reality’ [1][2]. With nearly 14,000 employees across more than 20 countries [1], Vallourec brings substantial expertise to this collaborative effort. The company’s established presence in premium tubular solutions [2] positions it perfectly to contribute to the hydrogen sector’s development.

Future Impact

Looking ahead, I see this partnership as a catalyst for significant progress in sustainable energy solutions. Vallourec’s commitment to decarbonisation [5] combined with its industrial expertise creates a powerful foundation for advancing hydrogen technology. The company’s role in developing cutting-edge solutions for hydrogen transport and storage [3] will be crucial in building the infrastructure needed for a hydrogen-powered future.
