Scaling up hydrogen liquefaction: The role of turbomachinery in future infrastructure

In this episode, we explore the critical role of turbomachinery in the large-scale liquefaction of hydrogen, essential for meeting the surging demand in hydrogen infrastructure. With current capacities needing to expand from 30 tons per day (tpd) to 200 tpd, we discuss the advancements in Atlas Copco's turbomachinery technology, which builds on decades of experience in cryogenic applications. Daniel Patrick, Hydrogen Market Segment Manager for Atlas Copco Turbomachinery, joins us to delve into the challenges and advantages of scaling liquefiers, the distinctions between gaseous and liquid hydrogen, and the technology's maturity level.
