Hydrogen, a long-recognized element, is now gaining momentum as a clean and profitable fuel source. Despite its early identification in the late 18th century, the widespread adoption of hydrogen as an industrial fuel took a backseat to methane reforming due to cost and complexity. However, with the detrimental environmental impact of methane extraction becoming evident, new strategies like 'blue hydrogen' and 'green hydrogen' are emerging. 'Blue hydrogen' focuses on capturing carbon emissions from methane reforming, while 'green hydrogen' involves electrolysis powered by renewable energy, aiming for net zero emissions. The entire hydrogen lifecycle, from compression to end use, poses challenges that demand innovative engineering solutions to ensure efficiency and safety. Mechanical seals, digital monitoring systems, and other components are vital in reducing emissions, enhancing productivity, and supporting sustainable industry. As the world gravitates towards cleaner energy alternatives, the potential of hydrogen to revolutionize various sectors is becoming increasingly apparent, with ongoing efforts to improve capacity, safety, and profitability in the hydrogen ecosystem.
