For decision-makers in small and medium-sized enterprises, reducing energy costs and increasing independence from external supply chains are becoming top priorities. Producing green hydrogen locally, right at the point of use, offers a future-proof and efficient solution that is already economically viable.
Together with our customer Hartmann Edelstahlrohre GmbH, we have implemented once again a solution for decentralized hydrogen production: a 30 kW OHS electrolysis system now produces green hydrogen on site. The electricity required is supplied by the company’s own photovoltaic system, making operations nearly autonomous and emission-free. The hydrogen is used as a process gas in manufacturing—directly reducing CO₂ emissions and operational costs.
Moreover, waste heat from the annealing furnace is recovered via a heat exchanger and supports the building’s heating needs. This smart integration of hydrogen production, self-generated electricity, and heat recovery exemplifies modern sector coupling and significantly improves energy efficiency.
For SME decision-makers, this means: Producing hydrogen on site enables you not only to contribute actively to the energy transition but also to stabilize your energy costs and reduce your production’s dependence on supply chains. The EU’s RED II targets (42.5% green hydrogen by 2030, 65% by 2035) can already be met today economically and reliably.
We are happy to assist you with that.
