Hydrogen – the key to CO₂ free heat and power
It is a defined goal of the EU to reduce CO₂ emissions to zero by 2050. This can only be accomplished without fossil fuels. One of the pivotal tools for achieving this ambitious plan is the greenhouse gas neutral energy source hydrogen.
Viessmann is playing a key role in the energy transition
Both in an advisory role for political decision-makers as well as in a formative capacity. With a comprehensive range of heating and air conditioning products and services, the Viessmann Group supplies cutting edge technology and sets benchmarks for efficient energy use.
Hydrogen as the key to a successful energy transition
Hydrogen is indispensable as an energy source of the future, as it produces virtually no emissions during combustion. It is also available in large quantities and can be produced sustainably.
100 percent hydrogen operation planned from 2025
Lab tests have shown that a fuel blend with up to 30 percent hydrogen is possible. Although Europe still lacks a statutory framework for approving such blends, Viessmann is already thinking ahead. The company is currently developing and testing gas boilers and fuel cells for operation with 100 percent hydrogen.
Hydrogen – the greenhouse gas neutral energy source for the future
The green hydrogen cycle: Using renewable electricity, the electrolyser produces hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) from water (H2O). H2-ready boilers burn hydrogen in a highly efficient process. This generates heat for heating, as well as the byproduct water – making the cycle complete.
Tomorrow's technology – certified today
The introduction of hydrogen will be gradual. Yet with its advanced gas condensing boilers and fuel cells, Viessmann is already offering user friendly solutions for efficiently and safely converting the fuel mix into heat and power.
H2-ready with Viessmann gas condensing boilers
According to a current poll, almost half of all Germans can imagine heating their home with hydrogen. No wonder, as the combustion of hydrogen is CO2 neutral and therefore kind to our planet. Viessmann's H2-ready gas condensing boilers can already efficiently convert natural gas with up to 30 percent hydrogen content into heat, making them fit for the future.
Making the switch to sustainability
To pave the way for a CO₂ neutral future, Viessmann is developing 100 percent hydrogen compatible boilers that can easily be converted from natural gas operation. Highly efficient, they also produce zero CO₂/CO emissions in H₂ operation.
