Hydrogen and Derivatives
Aker Solutions is a lifecycle partner for clean hydrogen (H2), ammonia and e-fuels facilities.
We design and build hydrogen plants for safe and reliable operation by drawing on system engineering experience gained from facilities onshore and offshore.
Our hydrogen track record began in 1990, with the engineering of steam reforming plants under an Aker Kvaerner-Davy Process Technology alliance. Between 2018 and 2023 alone, we put 100,000 engineering hours into feasibility and concept studies as well as front-end engineering (FEED) on green hydrogen (via electrolysis), blue hydrogen (from natural gas), ammonia and e-fuel projects.
Today, we serve a worldwide hydrogen market from centres in Norway, the UK and India.
Integrated services
From feasibility studies to engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), we are a complete integrator with a technology-agnostic approach. Our long-standing relationships with equipment providers (OEMs) ensure we define and deliver the best and most cost-effective system.
Four Norwegian fabrication yards and partnered yards worldwide ensure the timely and efficient delivery of your project. We offer commissioning and onshore integration testing along with operations management and maintenance support.
Aker Solutions is reknowned for its ability to integrate new technology into the design and construction of assets offshore or in remote onshore areas. We deploy a high degree of modularization and digitalized control to allow the predictive monitoring and preventive maintenance that ensure predictability in operations.
We bring a multidisciplinary toolbox to our hydrogen offering and access experts in process engineering, safety, mechanics, materials, electrical, layout, digitalization and cost estimation.
Our portfolio of assignments
Aker Solutions is involved in a diverse portfolio of concept and FEED studies across hydrogen value chains.
- Retrofits | Adding clean H2 production at existing facilities including methanol plants, refineries, and gas terminals.
- Offshore hydrogen | Jacketed H2 plant is one of several renewable support assignments in our design and study portfolio.
- Hydrogen derivatives & integration | Optimized integration of green and blue H2 production | clean ammonia production, storage and offloading | green methanol and e-fuel production.
Aker Solutions is a joint industry partner in hydrogen initiatives that include HYDROGENi and H2Pipe.
CCUS & blue hydrogen
Since the 1990s Aker Solutions has been the owner’s engineers on several large northern European CCUS projects. In addition to storage, we develop CO2 usage solutions that extract hydrogen from natural gas and use the carbon dioxide captured from industrial processes in the production of e-fuels, methanol and other derivatives.
