Many more, highly diverse applications exist for gases in the pharmaceutical industry in addition to those mentioned here. Green hydrogen: climate-friendly energy source
Individual supply for mobility and industrial applications
We are focused on developing technologies that make our customers’ production processes more efficient and eco-friendly. And that also includes
green (clean, renewable) hydrogen (H2) for a wide range of industrial applications in sectors such as glass production, heat treatment and electronics.
Individual solutions for supplying H2, for example:
Needs-based, cost-effective, on-site H2 supply, including the utilization/marketing of all byproducts (e.g. CO2) for optimized plant operation Delivery by trailer Production of green hydrogen by electrolysis using electricity from renewable energy sources (partnership with Siemens Energy as technology supplier for up to 50-megawatt electrolyzers) Refilling of vehicle fleets (e.g. buses, forklift trucks) Green hydrogen: application examples
Emissions-free inner cities Since 2011, Messer has been the technology and hydrogen supplier for the largest fleet of fuel cell-powered electric buses (FCEBs) in the USA. In 2020, Messer successfully demonstrated the back-to-back refueling capacity of 30 buses – a world-leading achievement.
Emissions-free logistics processes Since 2004, Messer has been the technology and hydrogen supplier for the largest fleet of forklift trucks and other industrial handling equipment in the USA. Key industries rely on Gases for Life
