Emerson and BayoTech to accelerate delivery of low-carbon hydrogen

Advanced technology paired with global hydrogen hubs means lower transportation costs and fewer emissions.

Global industrial software and technology leader Emerson announced 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.

Mike Train, chief sustainability officer of Emerson said, “Across the globe, industries and organisations are searching for sustainable solutions to solve their most pressing problems. 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. 

Linh Austin, COO of BayoTech says, “This agreement between BayoTech and Emerson will make hydrogen technology more accessible to more places across the world.”  Linh adds, “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.

Accelerating to scale production and distribution of low-cost, low-carbon hydrogen, 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.
