“The Hydrogen Boom: Investing in Canada’s Growing Role and Hy-Lok’s Key Products”
As a versatile, carbon-free energy carrier, hydrogen is the future of renewable energy. There are serious environmental and economic opportunities to be found in hydrogen production. Canada is a major global player in setting the tone for how hydrogen should be used because it can be produced through various feedstocks found in abundance around Canada.
Industries across Canada have been investing more time, energy and resources into hydrogen production. Hy-Lok Canada manufactures, sells and distributes high-pressure fitting and valve solutions for successful and safe hydrogen applications.
Keep reading to learn more about why hydrogen is a hot industry topic right now.
Hydrogen Fundamentals
Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical element in the universe, making up 75% of all normal matter. It is the lightest and smallest molecule, colourless, odourless, tasteless and highly combustible. In the form of compressed gas or liquid, hydrogen is a multifaceted energy carrier that has revolutionized green renewable energy production.
With those characteristics in mind, it is essential for industrial applications to use hydrogen-compatible valves and fittings to keep the gas or liquid contained. Hy-Lok manufactures and supplies hydrogen-compatible high-pressure fittings and valves to industries across the world.
The most desirable features of hydrogen are its versatility as a carbon-free energy carrier; it can be produced worldwide through a variety of green feedstocks like hydro, wind, geothermal, and biomass; it has the stability to be transported long distances; and it has the highest energy per mass of any fuel. Hydrogen’s decarbonization potential is critical in developing net-zero energy systems globally.
