Learn how Parker is purposefully leading the way in hydrogen production.
Engineering Capabilities
Electrolyzer Solutions
Parker makes safe hydrogen production possible. Our portfolio of products power each step of the process, from water demineralization and nitrogen generation to separators and storage.
Refueling Stations
Emerging as a leading alternative fuel, hydrogen 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.
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 and marine applications.

Webinar
Let’s Talk Hydrogen
Parker’s Hydrogen experts share their insights on Electrolyzer technology and the road to producing a sustainable green hydrogen infrastructure.
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.
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.
Take a Closer Look
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.
Storage & Distribution
Due to its very low density in ambient conditions, the storage and distribution of hydrogen for use can be challenging. Hydrogen can be stored as a gas or liquid after compression and/or liquefaction.
Dispensing
A hydrogen station is a storage or filling station for hydrogen. The hydrogen refuelling station (HRS) will boost hydrogen gas from various sources to pressures required in the transportation sector – either 350 barg (5,000 psi) or 700 barg (10,000 psi).
Usage
The utilization of various hydrogen types, currently, can be divided into two separate categories: hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and internal combustion engines.
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. Parker's on-vehicle fuel cell and internal combustion Solutions include fittings, vibration control and adhesives.
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. We offer a wide range of components for hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV), buses, and 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. These vehicles require the highest-quality components and Parker's offering includes hydrogen fuel filters, regulators, valves and fittings.

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.
