Equinor’s membership further rounds out an already impressive membership roster of more than 70 world-leading organizations committed to safe hydrogen use and knowledge sharing.
Equinor engages in early-stage opportunities for converting natural gas to low carbon hydrogen while capturing and storing CO2, and renewable power to green hydrogen. Among its current projects are H2H Saltend, H2morrow steel, and NortH2.
“Building on 50 years of experience within oil and gas, Equinor is transitioning to become a broad energy company, and safety for people and the environment is at the forefront of all that we do,” said VP for Global Hydrogen in Equinor, Henrik Solgaard Andersen. “Hydrogen will be key to reaching net zero emissions for societies and companies, and Equinor is developing a portfolio of hydrogen projects in Europe and the US. Sharing our experience with peers and suppliers and learning from others will be vital to ensure safe and reliable production and use of hydrogen. I am very pleased that we have joined the Center for Hydrogen Safety community.”
