We will be at the biggest Green Hydrogen event in Europe!
Connecting Green Hydrogen Europe | Conference & Exhibition
Date: 25 - 27 June 2024
Location: IFEMA Madrid, Spain
Booth H76
Water is critical for hydrogen production. To produce 1kg of renewable hydrogen you need between 20 to 60kg of water supply. Water scarcity and the deterioration of the climate with frequent dry spells and drought – in many areas of Europe – has led industry to find solutions for an efficient use of this resource.
Advancing water performance is crucial for enhancing efficiency, productivity, and reliability in renewable hydrogen production. It is one of the top political priorities if the EU wants to achieve its ambitious targets for hydrogen production. In particular, a reliable, consistent water supply is critical to electrolyzer performance.

THOUGHT LEADERS
“[…] Hydrogen can be a game changer for Europe. We need to move our hydrogen economy from niche to scale. With REPowerEU, we have doubled our 2030 target to produce ten million tons of renewable hydrogen in the EU, each year. To achieve this, we must create a market maker for hydrogen, in order to bridge the investment gap and connect future supply and demand[…]”
Ursula von der Leyen, President
European Commission
“Hydrogen is today enjoying unprecedented momentum. The world should not miss this unique chance to make hydrogen an important part of our clean and secure energy future.”
Dr Fatih Birol, Executive Director
International Energy Agency
OUR APPROACH
ABOUT THE WATER-ENERGY NEXUS
At Ecolab, we partner with customers to ensure an efficient water management & asset reliability in renewable hydrogen production
- Renewable hydrogen production is key decarbonization route for European industry.
- Water is a key feedstock and success enabler in achieving efficient hydrogen production.
- Advancing water performance is crucial for enhancing efficiency, productivity, and reliability in renewable hydrogen production.
- Water scarcity, frequent dry spells and drought – in many areas of Europe – has led industry to find solutions for an efficient use of this resource.
- Accessible fresh water and wastewater can enable green hydrogen production, but processes to reuse and recycle water need to be put in place.
- A reliable, consistent water supply is critical to electrolyzer performance and there is a significant water demand throughout the entire production process, which needs its smart management and monitoring to track consumption.
