Global demand for Hydrogen is expected to increase from 87 million metric tons (MT) in 2020 to over 600 MT by 2050. Within this market, the green hydrogen (ultra-low CO2 emissions) sub-sector is forecast to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39.5% from 2022 to 2030 as the world seeks cleaner and sustainable energy alternatives.

Servomex is playing a crucial role in the expansion of green hydrogen through the development of advanced gas analysis technologies that enhance the efficiency and reliability of hydrogen production processes. With economies of scale and the reducing cost of electrolysis—the production process by which green hydrogen is produced is rapidly improving.

This transformation in the economic viability of green hydrogen, is making it increasingly competitive with conventional hydrogen production methods. Through precise monitoring and control of gas composition, Servomex aids the optimisation of the electrolysis process, ensuring a high purity of green hydrogen output. This not only improves the overall efficiency of hydrogen production but also aligns with the industry’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions as the demand for green hydrogen continues to rise.

Servomex was pleased to supply the versatile Servomex 2200 Oxygen Analyzer to our customer CPH2 via our Channel Partner SGS. This analyzer is an excellent addition to their state-of-the-art and green hydrogen production system.

CPH2, who manufactures the unique 1 MWatt Membrane-Free Electrolyser, selected the Servomex 2200 Analyzer for its class-leading specification for measuring oxygen in hydrogen to enhance their technology’s efficiency and safety processes.

The Servomex 2200 analyser is approved for the measurement of oxygen, including enriched oxygen (>21%), in hydrogen in hazardous areas. The CPH2 electrolysers are used to decarbonise energy systems, replacing diesel back-up systems and using excess wind and solar energy to generate hydrogen to power equipment, machinery and transportation (forklift trucks, buses,
airport ground support equipment).
