our vision for energy
Transitus Energy: decarbonising industry today
The hydrogen opportunity
Transitus is a hydrogen energy production company, with a unique vision for hydrogen in the UK and Europe. We have designed solutions that offer a cost-neutral, pragmatic, and rapid option to industries looking to decarbonise today. In so doing, we solve the most significant problems affecting the emergent hydrogen economy: how to establish production without waiting for large-scale government projects to come online, often at great cost.
Both electricity and hydrogen are carriers of energy. They convey energy to end users such as factories. Though it is extremely powerful and flexible, electricity alone cannot solve all of the decarbonised energy needs for every industry. Hydrogen is more useful when there is a very high heat requirement or rapid fluctuations in heat requirement. Hydrogen can also be more useful and economic for re-tooling existing factories and systems which presently use natural gas as their energy carrier.
The hydroge
n pathway
Hydrogen-based energy is a crucial component of the net-zero energy mix. It complements renewable electricity, by offering a more sustainable solution for hard-to-decarbonise areas, such as industry, long haul transport, shipping, and aviation.
Larger-scale hydrogen plants are planned by the UK and other governments. However, their economics require scale and public subsidy. Consequently, they have become projects for the future and are not a decarbonisation solution for today. They are also geographically limited in scope. These plants will not be able to offer hydrogen to industries which are not proximate, and they will not be a decarbonisation solution for factories located more than one hundred miles from the hydrogen plant. As a result of this, for all the acceptance of the inevitability of a hydrogen economy, progress has been far too slow. Transitus has designed solutions that help to solve these problems.
We have developed modular and scalable distributed production, which enables hydrogen to be produced affordably, reliably, locally, and rapidly. Industrial energy users can decarbonise now, and do so even if they are located far from planned hydrogen hubs.
We are technology agnostic, offering a number of different low-carbon hydrogen options to our clients and partners. We therefore offer the best low-carbon hydrogen solution for each situation, right-sizing solutions to meet specific needs.
