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.

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.
Hydrogen Production Solutions
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.

Hydrogen Case Studies
HYDROGEN DRIVES DOWN CARBON EMISSIONS
The use of Parker fittings for hydrogen applications is helping to pioneer technology that allows commercial vehicle fleet owners to include hydrogen among their running fuels.
Parker's Use in Apollo H2
When NASA’s Apollo 11 launched from the Kennedy Space Center in 1969, specially designed Parker products were on-board including seals and fittings to prevent leaks that could cause mission delays or worse. Parker’s engineering and system contributions made this mission possible and successful.
Addressing Challenge of Hydrogen Embrittlement
As a manufacturer of pressure-containing equipment, Parker has decades of experience in serving hydrogen applications. Parker products are designed to minimize the risk associated with corrosion and hydrogen attack and ultimately deliver successful performance in the field.
