Global climate change concerns have prompted the widespread transition to cleaner eco-friendly alternatives. Hydrogen, especially liquid hydrogen (LH2), stands out as an alternative energy carrier solution to zero-emission technologies. But for a complete transition to an all-embracing utilization of hydrogen of this magnitude to be successful, it will take partnerships and collaboration among industry experts, government organizations, inventors, and leaders working together to develop and execute new technologies and incentives to accelerate the advancement of this new clean energy source.

Through the sharing of new ideas and processes, partnerships among industry experts can quickly accelerate the growth and adoption of the hydrogen economy. Working together allows for a higher level of collective creativity and increased innovation which enables us to approach challenges from different perspectives and find more effective and better solutions.

As no one company, organization or entity can meet all the needs of this exciting and expanding hydrogen economy, partnerships are an essential or critical way for hydrogen advocates and parties to combine their resources, including diversity in expertise, creating a situation where capital and knowledge are combined and larger, more extensive projects become possible and accomplishable in a shorter time frame. An example of such compatibility includes hydrogen-powered vehicle companies needing to account for the design of hydrogen dispensing technologies created by other firms to ensure seamless systems to fuel hydrogen vehicles. Every facet of the hydrogen economy would advance more rapidly through this type of cooperation, as universally agreed-upon infrastructure designs would solidify the format in which hydrogen systems will run.

Rapid advancements throughout the hydrogen economy demonstrate the most crucial advantage of partnerships, as it would otherwise not be possible to meet all the needs of the emerging hydrogen economy in a timely fashion. Hindrances or obstacles caused by a lack of resources, funding and time constraints are lessened, mitigated, and allows for partnering organizations to gain access to the necessary resources through their combined efforts, meaning that more innovative and practical systems can be designed and manufactured at an increased pace.

An example of cooperation between major hydrogen players can be seen through GenH2’s collaboration with Shell, CB&I, NASA, and the University of Houston in creating an affordable large-scale hydrogen storage system with minimal boiloff. This endeavor aims to advance insulation methods and technology while reducing overall costs, which would allow for widespread integration and commercial application.

Partnerships throughout the hydrogen industry are essential to bringing the most effective forms of infrastructure to the masses. With the incentives of unlimited renewable energy and the prospect of reducing carbon emissions, organizations within the industry are incentivized by government and private sector investments to combine efforts for these common goals. A cleaner, LH2 alternative energy source future leads to reaching zero-emissions goals; partnerships and cooperation throughout the hydrogen sector will make these goals within reach.

GenH2’s innovative, light-scale, on-demand hydrogen infrastructure solutions provide systems that can integrate into areas that would prove to be nonviable for larger systems, allowing for hydrogen to be accessible when and where it is needed.
