Electrothermal Compression (ETC) in Green Hydrogen
Electrothermal Compression (ETC) is a revolutionary technology that enables efficient and cost-effective compression of green hydrogen. Our ETC solution is designed to optimize the compression process, reducing energy consumption and increasing overall system efficiency.
Purpose of ETC in Green Hydrogen
The primary purpose of ETC in green hydrogen is to compress the gas to high pressures, typically between 200-1000 bar, for efficient storage, transportation, and utilization. ETC achieves this by using electrical energy to heat the gas, which is then compressed using a piston or other compression mechanism.
