  • Hydrogen cogeneration

An economical, zero-CO2 emission energy source.

Using hydrogen as a fuel is a key milestone on the path to climate neutrality. Thanks to its potential as a CO2-free fuel and its ability to be stored, hydrogen (H2) is set to play an important role in the energy transition.

The advantages of using hydrogen

Proven technology

Cogeneration plants are a well-established and proven technology, allowing flexible operation at 100% hydrogen. The upgrade can be performed during a scheduled maintenance.

Flexible transition to sustainable energy

Hydrogen is still a rare energy source today, but with great potential for growth over time.

A “Ready for H2” plant allows you to move at the same pace as hydrogen availability grows, reaping the benefits of green potential without any delays.

Meeting future emission targets

Once a cogeneration plant operates at 100% hydrogen, it becomes a CO2-free energy solution.

Efficient use of resources

With cogeneration efficiency reaching up to 95%, it is possible to save about one-third of the hydrogen fuel compared to electricity-only generation. Furthermore, operating hydrogen technology in CHP mode can accelerate the energy transition by producing CO2-free heat.

Safety

Thanks to their programmability, cogeneration plants can help balance the intermittency of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, maintaining grid resilience.

How can we achieve a greener future?

Faced with increasingly strict regulations and the push for CO2-neutral energy solutions, how can we achieve a greener future? Renewable energy is part of the answer, but even traditional technologies can become CO2-free when powered by hydrogen (H2).

Well-suited for electricity, heat, and/or cooling generation, green hydrogen can be integrated with solar, wind, or other renewable technologies to achieve zero-carbon solutions.

Today, AB already produces cogeneration plants with engines ready to run on hydrogen.

By choosing hydrogen combined heat and power (CHP) technology, it is possible to operate the plant with conventional grid gas and start blending H2 flexibly, preparing for a CO2-free transition through engine conversion once hydrogen becomes more widely available.
