Iv is active in the field of hydrogen across the entire breadth of the organisation.
Within Iv-Offshore & Energy, most of our work today is in offshore renewables, our roots are in the Oil & Gas Industry. This experience provided a solid foundation for developing offshore wind substations, both HVAC and HVDC and, more recently, hydrogen. As a result, much additional knowledge and skills have been developed to meet the challenges of these new projects: we adapted to the new offshore wind market, new operator requirements, new stakeholders, innovative technologies and broader engineering scope.
Iv-Industry is in the Hydrogen for the industrial sector., among others to provide hydrogen for efficient transport which is vital to getting green hydrogen on land and into the (small-scale) industrial sector.
Escher has developed a technology for the decentralised production of green hydrogen from ammonia. Ammonia is an excellent carrier of hydrogen that can be produced anywhere worldwide simply by extracting nitrogen from the air. Escher's technology separates the ammonia back into hydrogen and nitrogen, facilitating further separation into almost pure hydrogen and nitrogen. Producing hydrogen locally in this way costs only a fraction of the energy compared to conventional local hydrogen production with electrolysis.
We constantly seek the optimum balance between effectiveness, sustainability, and cost while never compromising on safety measures in our designs.
