Hydrogen mobility - sustainable drive technology for the future
Hydrogen mobility is increasingly being recognised as a key technology for decarbonising the transport sector and reducing CO₂ emissions. As one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, the transport sector faces the challenge of switching to emission-free drive technologies. Hydrogen offers a promising solution here, as it only produces water as a waste product in fuel cells or during combustion.
A key advantage of hydrogen is its versatility: it is not only suitable for cars, but also for heavy goods vehicles, buses, trains, ships and aeroplanes. Hydrogen shows its strengths particularly in lorry transport and local public transport - its high energy density and fast refuelling make it an efficient alternative to battery-electric drives, which are often associated with long charging times. Hydrogen is also considered a promising energy source in aviation and shipping to enable a drastic reduction in CO₂ emissions in the long term.
Reliable hydrogen compression for refuelling stations
A nationwide hydrogen infrastructure is essential to ensure a seamless supply of hydrogen. Diaphragm compressors and piston compressors are used in hydrogen refuelling stations to compress the hydrogen to up to 900 bar and transport it safely to the vehicle tanks. These compressors ensure a stable and demand-orientated supply of hydrogen.
sera HYDROGEN offers customised solutions for this:
- Compact operational refuelling stations with the torque-running piston compressor, which is equipped with its own hydrogen generation system.
- Metal diaphragm compressors for larger systems that allow the pressure to be increased to up to 900 bar - ideal for high-capacity hydrogen refuelling stations.
With these solutions, sera HYDROGEN is helping to drive forward hydrogen mobility and enable a sustainable, efficient and emission-free future in the transport sector.
