Advanced technology paired with global hydrogen
hubs means lower transportation costs and fewer emissions
Global industrial software and technology leader Emerson (NYSE:
EMR) announced today a multiyear strategic framework agreement with
BayoTech, an innovator in hydrogen solutions, to accelerate the
delivery of hydrogen around the world. Emerson will deliver
advanced automation technologies, software and products to enable
BayoTech to build hundreds of hydrogen units to produce cleaner,
lower-cost hydrogen.
“Across the globe, industries and organizations are searching
for sustainable solutions to solve their most pressing problems,”
said Mike Train, chief sustainability officer of Emerson.
“Emerson’s agreement with BayoTech accelerates the development and
adoption of hydrogen at scale as a critical step forward in
diversifying our global energy mix.”
BayoTech’s modular hydrogen generation units produce up to 1,000
kilograms per day, enough to fill as many as 200 hydrogen fuel cell
vehicles. BayoTech's patented technology requires less feedstock,
which means lower carbon emissions and less cost to produce
hydrogen than traditional reformers. To meet growing hydrogen
demand, BayoTech is leveraging its core technology to develop 5-,
10- and 20-tonne units, which will drive further efficiencies.
Using Emerson’s programmable logic controller and edge control
technologies, remote monitoring and Microsoft Azure IoT Suite, the
unmanned, fully autonomous skids will operate and be monitored
remotely from BayoTech’s Albuquerque, New Mexico headquarters.
“BayoTech plans on becoming the largest distributed hydrogen
company in the world,” said Mo Vargas, CEO of BayoTech. “Emerson’s
advanced technology is the right choice to support our vision of
disrupting the established centralized hydrogen supply chain with a
new, highly efficient model of local autonomous production
hubs.”
“This agreement between BayoTech and Emerson will make hydrogen
technology more accessible to more places across the world,” said
Linh Austin, COO of BayoTech. “Together, we are creating a solution
to lessen the carbon footprint of countless customers as we build a
sustainable – and more affordable – global hydrogen supply
chain.”
These hydrogen generation units are already being built and will
be placed in BayoGaaS™ hydrogen hubs and at customer sites
throughout the United States and other global locations. From the
hubs, locally produced hydrogen will be distributed to nearby
consumers via BayoTech high-pressure gas transport and storage
equipment, which can transport three times more hydrogen per trip
than traditional steel tube trailers. The higher payloads translate
into lower transportation costs, higher driver productivity and
less carbon emissions.
The strategic framework agreement with BayoTech supports
Emerson’s commitment to creating innovative technologies and
industry expertise in the rapidly developing hydrogen sector. From
storing renewable energy to fueling heavy transport,
climate-friendly hydrogen has several energy and non-energy uses.
Harnessing hydrogen enables industries to choose clean energy as a
cost-effective solution to their business needs.
