We know hydrogen
Decarbonizing our global economy – our industries, utilities, personal transportation and the production and movement of goods – will require a united effort. Clean, sustainable hydrogen has the potential to reduce and replace our reliance on fossil fuels for heating, transport, production of green chemicals and fertilizer, storage and electricity generation.
A zero-carbon fuel that emits only water, hydrogen’s role in the drive for sustainability can be accelerated by using or adapting significant parts of existing infrastructure to employ hydrogen as a fuel source. This substitution effect means Black & Veatch is already positioned for and delivering progress today across green hydrogen for power generation and storage, advanced transportation and fuel-cell technology, and as a feedstock for green chemicals, as well as the processing of blue hydrogen with carbon capture technology.
From investors and utility operators, industrial and transportation leaders to city planners and regulators, we can help you at every stage of the hydrogen journey as it reshapes markets and economies as the foundation of a decarbonized world. Black & Veatch is a leader in deploying new market technologies, proven at delivering innovation reliably. This means we can de-risk investments across all public, commercial and industrial sectors. We will work with you to scale solutions that meet budget constraints, expectations for return on investments and navigate complex regulations.
