Sustainable hydrogen compression

Green hydrogen global demand is expected to increase exponentially over the next 20 years, playing an important role in the energy transition.

In the mobility sector, for final use in filling stations, the hydrogen produced by electrolysis must be compressed without oil by a dedicated reciprocating compressor and then supplied in tanks.

SIAD MI already developed a very high-pressure compression hydrogen module, but is looking for more ways to green their solutions and become eco-friendlier.

Using a more environmentally friendly hydrogen compressor module is one-way SIAD MI can go green in their product portfolio, making the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier more economically viable.

SIAD MI targets to study and implement cutting-edge solutions with a special focus on compressor components, electric motor, transmission line and valves with the goal of drastically reducing the absorbed power.

SIAD MI is also interested in raising its consciousness about Sustainable Development Goals, to develop standardized design and manufacturing protocols in view of SDG’s certification.
