Parker's Global Hydrogen Efforts
Parker is primed to take Hydrogen into the future – globally. Parker’s EMEA locations have been implementing their own hydrogen initiatives specific to their individual countries. With over 50 years of experience in working with hydrogen, we have worked globally with businesses and organizations of all sizes on H2 projects.
50 Years Advancing Hydrogen Technology
Fueled by a robust product portfolio, Parker's support of hydrogen technology innovation has lasted more than a half century. Our experience helping customers solve for hydrogen’s complexities dates to the '60s. Our work with NASA's fuel cell division helped land Apollo 11 men on the moon. By enabling safe, effective production of hydrogen technology, Parker is helping that same clean energy technology power countless organizations today.
Broad Portfolio
Advances in hydrogen technology will help make our planet a cleaner place to live and thrive. Parker is leading the charge by inspiring further hydrogen innovation by providing customers with a broad portfolio of products that meet the complex production, transportation, storage, dispensing and on-vehicle use that enables the greater and faster adoption of renewable, green energy sources.
Engineering Expertise
Parker engineers listen, collaborate and adapt to clients’ needs, leveraging transferable technologies from our leadership in natural gas and aerospace to offer end-to-end solutions across systems. Our engineering expertise and ability to apply proven solutions to new applications allows hydrogen innovators across industries to reimagine product design and application.
Global Footprint
No matter where our clients develop, assemble or manufacture, Parker is there, helping support and solve complex challenges so our customers can make the world a better place. It's what makes us a valuable global partner in your transition to the hydrogen, renewable economy.
Hydrogen Fuel Systems Create Unique Concerns
Leakage concerns top the reasons why many transportation OEMs have yet to fully convert to hydrogen. These concerns not only relate to work safety but also to potential downsides on the very environment that greener fuel sources like hydrogen are supposed to protect.

Balance of Plant Solutions
Parker helps our global customers optimize their hydrogen subsystems by providing a broad range of components proven to perform in the most challenging high pressure, low-temperature environments needed for gas or liquid preparation and storage.
Green Hydrogen
Green hydrogen is made by using clean electricity from surplus renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to electrolyze water. The hydrogen produced can be stored as a gas or liquid and can be used for a range of industrial processes, significantly reducing emissions.
Blue Hydrogen
Blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas in the same way as grey hydrogen. The key difference is that it is supported by carbon capture and storage. The carbon dioxide is captured, compressed and stored either permanently or for future use.
Gray Hydrogen
Gray hydrogen is currently the most common form of hydrogen. It is produced from fossil fuels (methane) via steam methane reformation or autothermal reforming. All gray hydrogen production releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Conditioning
Following production, hydrogen must be conditioned for practicality of storage and distribution. This is achieved by hydrogen compression or liquefaction.
Electrolyzer System Solutions
Parker makes safe hydrogen production possible. See how our portfolio of products power each step of the process, from water demineralization and nitrogen generation to separators and storage.

Hydrogen Transportation Applications
The promise of hydrogen is the reduction of our collective carbon footprint, and hydrogen storage and distribution technologies are key. Parker solutions can help make good on that promise. We supply components and solutions for most hydrogen distribution methods, including pipelines and gas tube trailers, as well as road and ship transportation, both of which rely on conversion of H2 to ammonia, methanol, and other carriers and then back to H2 at the destination.
Distribution, Virtual Pipelines
Point A to Point B was never easier. Parker applications help control the safe pressurization and temperature of hydrogen, either in gas or liquid form, allowing industries to capitalize on pre-existing land and sea supply routes, including ship, train or heavy trucks.
Hydrogen Refueling Stations
As hydrogen emerges as a leading alternative fuel, refueling safety becomes paramount. Refueling station components must meet demanding performance criteria. Parker products meet that criterion and more. Our high-pressure needle and check valves have already achieved ISO 19880-3 certification.

On-Vehicle Fuel Cell, Combustion Applications
Hydrogen plays a significant decarbonization role in heavy transport industries where batteries cannot fully accommodate power needs. Parker works with transportation sector partners to provide components for onboard hydrogen-powered vehicles for pressures from 30 to 1400 bar (435 to 20,000 psi). Our on-vehicle solutions support end-to-end systems for using hydrogen in vehicles powered by fuel cells and internal combustion engines.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Applications
As hydrogen fuel cell use becomes more commonplace, Parker remains committed to the safe deployment of hydrogen as an alternative fuel source. To do so, we offer a wide range of components for hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV), buses, marine applications.
Hydrogen Internal Combustion
Along with on-board fuel cell technology, Parker supports the safe, efficient and high-performance operation of HICEV vehicles as well. This requires the highest-quality components, including hydrogen fuel filters, regulators, valves and fittings.
