Bringing clean hydrogen to life,
safely – a sustainable pathway
for the energy transition.
Master the hydrogen economy with the supporting
testing and certification services.
Accross all industrial sectors, hydrogen is increasingly considered as an energy carrier of the future that can support decarbonization and energy transition. Green hydrogen plays an essential pillar of this hydrogen revolution.
Total addressed market for hydrogen generation alone is forecasted to reach ca. US$250bn by 2030 and potentially reach over US$1tn by 2050 (Source: Hydrogen Equity Research: Goldman Sachs 2022). Since 2020, a new waveof interest on hydrogen has begun to translate into policy action and over 30 governments have released theirnational hydrogen strategies and roadmaps.

Following the accelerating growth of the hydrogen economy, industry are addressing barriers and needs for
ramp-up of large-scale hydrogen deployment. A transparent certification scheme of green or low-carbon hydrogenproducts for international hydrogen trading, safety consideration on hydrogen-based application and infrastructure,and technical guidance on retrofitting of existing supply chain for hydrogen roll-out are becoming more critical.
The path to a sustainable hydrogen economy has its challenges, but it‘s worth it.
Let’s do this step together.
