The role of hydrogen toward a greener future

The commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions is driving the search for cleaner, commercially viable energy technologies. As a result, worldwide demand for hydrogen, known as a versatile energy carrier, is growing steadily worldwide, facing major roadblocks along every step of the supply chain. A shift to absolute-zero carbon hydrogen production requires transformation at every level, a challenge for everyone involved.

Stationary batteries: Will yours work when you need them?

Medium and high-voltage electrical equipment found in substations and industrial facilities need DC power in order to provide uninterrupted power to emergency systems, to protection devices and, in some cases, to computer systems and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). If a power outage occurs, batteries can reliably supply uninterrupted DC power that is independent of your AC power system.
