Valve World Expo - 3-5 December

The booming hydrogen market promises brilliant prospects for environmental protection and investments running into the billions. It will transform the electricity, heat, and mobility sectors, and permanently transform entire industries. Valves, actuators and automation are set to play a key role in this. The innovative components involved support the rapid growth of the H2 industry.

However, the hydrogen market is very demanding. Systems must be able to handle a wide range of pressures, and temperatures as low as minus 253 °C. The high explosiveness requires the highest standards of sealing. In addition, H2 plant operators expect products from the valve industry that are designed for a long service life and require little maintenance. The valve industry is also adapting to this: As the hydrogen market scales up, the systems become larger and the pressures involved increase – and thus the dimensions of the valves also change. There's no doubt about it that companies are facing big challenges...

Solutions for the entire value chain

Challenges for which companies are already offering solutions – along the entire H2 value chain from generation by electrolysis, through storage, transport, and conversion, all the way to the end application. With high-quality materials and special geometries, as well as digital and automated products, the valve industry is proving itself to be catalyst for the hydrogen revolution. Leak testing and material suitability tests assure the end user of the safety that is particularly important for H2 systems. All of this will ensure that hydrogen becomes so much more than the stuff dreams are made of.

You can discover the trends and highlights from the valve industry at VALVE WORLD EXPO from 3 to 5 December 2024 in Düsseldorf.
