What is Hydrogen?
The search for renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent, and hydrogen offers a viable solution.
Hydrogen is a versatile and abundant earth element consisting of one proton and one electron. Its ability to store and deliver usable energy is becoming increasingly important as an alternative fuel source. Hydrogen can be produced from diverse domestic resources such as fossil fuels, electricity, and renewable sources.
Steam methane reforming, electrolysis, and biological processes efficiently produce hydrogen. Solar energy is one of the most promising production pathways as it is renewable and cost-competitive. Hydrogen offers an abundant and efficient energy source, making it a viable option for future energy production.

Hydrogen: Industry Uses and Applications
Hydrogen has been used in the chemical and refining industries for a long time, with major applications ranging from agricultural production to petroleum refining. In the agricultural sector, hydrogen is a necessary component in ammonia production, which is utilized as an effective and environmentally friendly fertilizer. In petroleum refining processes, hydrogen creates a wide range of petroleum products, such as gasoline and diesel. However, modern hydrogen applications go beyond the traditional chemical and refining industries.
Aerospace and Aircraft
Hydrogen is used in the aerospace and aircraft industry to power rockets, providing thrust while being far more efficient than traditional fuels. In spacecraft, hydrogen is used to power life- support systems and computers. It is also utilized for metal sintering and annealing to strengthen the metal and other heat-treating processes. Using hydrogen in these applications has allowed for more efficient and powerful aerospace designs that were previously impossible.
- Metal sintering and annealing
- Heat treating
- Powered life-support systems
- Computer systems
- Rocket propulsion
Automotive and Equipment
Heat treating is used in automotive and transportation equipment to harden metals, improve wear resistance, and increase ductility.
Hydrogen is used to create the environment for heat-treating furnaces and is also used as an industrial quench gas. It has a high heat transfer property, allowing it to quickly cool and harden metal parts. In addition, hydrogen is also used as an alternate fuel to reduce undesirable emissions when transporting parts.
- Increasing the hardness of metals through heat treating
- Improving wear resistance of parts
- Increasing the ductility of metals
- Creating a bright finish on steel parts
- Reducing undesirable emissions when transporting parts
- Providing an alternate fuel for transportation equipment
Energy
Hydrogen is used in fuel cells to power a variety of applications. These include:
- Passenger vehicles, such as cars, buses and forklifts.
- Land speed record-breaking vehicles
- Stationary and portable power systems for residential, commercial and industrial applications.
- Ship propulsion and auxiliary power systems.
- Aircraft propulsion and auxiliary power systems.
- Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
- Backup power systems.
- Remote and off-grid applications.
- Portable generators and consumer electronics devices.
Petroleum Refining
Refining petroleum is a process that requires the use of hydrogen in order to upgrade heavy crude oils into refined fuels. Hydrogen is also used in refinery gas processing to reduce the amount of sulfur in the final product. Major applications of hydrogen in refining include:
- Hydrotreating: This process uses hydrogen to reduce the amount of sulfur, nitrogen and other impurities in petroleum products.
- Hydrocracking: Breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones with the help of hydrogen.
- Fluid catalytic cracking: This process breaks down large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller, more volatile molecules with the help of a catalyst and hydrogen.
- Alkylation: This process combines two molecules with hydrogen to form a larger one.
- Isomerization: This process rearranges the atoms of a molecule, using hydrogen, to form a different molecule.
- Hydrogenation: This process adds hydrogen to unsaturated molecules to make them saturated and more useful.
Welding and Metal Fabrication
Welding with hydrogen gas is commonly used in many different welding and metal fabrication applications. Adding the gas can improve the quality of welds and increase the speed at which they are completed.
- Plasma Welding and Cutting: Hydrogen gas is often mixed with argon to create an environment that is more conducive to plasma welding and cutting. The hydrogen gas helps increase the plasma arc's heat and improve the weld quality.
- Brazing: Hydrogen is a common gas used when brazing copper, aluminum and other metals to create stronger bonds. The addition of the gas helps improve the quality of the weld and makes it easier to create a strong bond.
- TIG and MIG Welding: Hydrogen gas is also used when higher temperatures are needed in TIG and MIG welding processes.
