SLB sees hydrogen as anchor to decarbonise industrial sector
Strength of low-carbon hydrogen is in areas that are hard to electrify, with technological breakthroughs and scaling up key to cost reduction
Hydrogen needs to be able to play to its strengths, according to Rafael Fejervary, global hydrogen director at services firm SLB. That means low-carbon hydrogen is predominantly feasible for industrial use cases because they are a challenge to electrify. While hydrogen can be used as a feedstock to produce other products such as ammonia and methanol, it also serves as a fuel for producing industrial heat or, in the case of steel production, as a reducing agent. “For now, we need to anchor the use of low-carbon hydrogen in industrial decarbonisation to achieve scale,” Fejervary said. “Once this foundation is established, additional applications can develop.” Technology is key SLB is making st
