Certification H2-Ready

Hydrogen is predicted to play a significant role in several industries, and it will most likely take the place of natural gas as a CO2-free energy carrier. It is therefore reasonable to expect that a component (e.g., a pipe or valve) or a complete system (e.g., a power plant) originally intended for natural gas will transition to hydrogen at some point during its lifetime. This prospective switch to hydrogen should be factored into the component or plant's initial design in order to ensure that it will be ready to use hydrogen in the future. In the business, this is known as "H2-Readiness." Hydrogen-ready, or H2-ready, therefore refers to a component or system's ability to work with hydrogen in the future.
