Atlas Copco powers the drive for green hydrogen production and energy transition

Its technology meets the challenges of many critical processes throughout the hydrogen value chain. Atlas Copco’s hydrogen experts will be on hand at Hydrogen Tech Expo 2023 in Telford on March 30th.

As a market specialist in air and gas compression systems the company’s wide experience results in the development of highly efficient, safe, and reliable equipment for a host of renewable energy applications. The total offering extends from hydrogen compressors for fill stations and H2 production sites, to carbon capture and recovery in large industrial sites.

Where hydrogen quality is paramount, the H2P series of oil-free hydrogen compressors meets the stringent ISO Class Zero standard and are designed to work directly with the electrolyser installation. The H2P reciprocating compressors are designed for continuous, reliable, and safe power-to-gas operations, and help keep costs in check with their low maintenance requirements. In addition to standard packages, they can be customised to meet specific process application compression requirements and are suitable for easy transportation inside a standard 40 feet container.

Atlas Copco’s high pressure H2Y hydraulic hydrogen compressor packages are suitable for applications in the mobility sector, where they ensure reliability and optimum uptime for the user. This technology supports trucks and ground transport, trains and rail transport, airports, and aviation sectors in their mission to supply cleaner fuel for a sustainable future. The hydrogen compressor packages supply both ‘fast fill’ large flow H2 filling stations as well as daughter stations employed in a virtual gas pipeline.

All Atlas Copco packages include safe instrumentation and control loops. For installation safety, all solutions meet major international and local safety codes, and each compressor unit is pre-wired and fully tested with helium before it is installed in the field.
