United States. Emerson recently announced a multi-year strategic framework agreement with BayoTech, a hydrogen solutions company, to accelerate hydrogen delivery worldwide. Emerson will deliver advanced automation technologies, software and products to enable BayoTech to build hundreds of hydrogen units to produce cleaner, lower-cost hydrogen.
"Around the world, industries and organizations are looking for sustainable solutions to solve their most pressing problems," said Mike Train, Emerson's chief sustainability officer. "Emerson's agreement with BayoTech accelerates the development and adoption of hydrogen at scale as a critical step toward diversifying our global energy mix."
BayoTech's modular hydrogen generation units produce up to 1,000 kilograms per day, enough to fill up to 200 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. BayoTech's patented technology requires less raw material, which means less carbon emissions and less cost to produce hydrogen than traditional reformers. To meet the growing demand for hydrogen, BayoTech is leveraging its core technology to develop 5-, 10- and 20-ton units, which will drive greater efficiency. Using Emerson's programmable logic controller and edge control technologies, remote monitoring and Microsoft Azure IoT Suite, the unmanned and fully autonomous skates will operate and be monitored remotely from BayoTech's headquarters in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
"BayoTech plans to become the world's largest distributed hydrogen company," said Mo Vargas, CEO of BayoTech. "Emerson's advanced technology is the right choice to support our vision of disrupting the established centralized hydrogen supply chain with a new and highly efficient model of local autonomous production centers."
"This agreement between BayoTech and Emerson will make hydrogen technology more accessible to more places around the world," said Linh Austin, Chief Operating Officer of BayoTech. "Together, we are creating a solution to reduce the carbon footprint of countless customers as we build a sustainable and more affordable global hydrogen supply chain."
These hydrogen generation units are already being built and will be placed at BayoGaaS ™ hydrogen centers and at customer sites in the United States and other global locations. From the centers, locally produced hydrogen will be distributed to nearby consumers through BayoTech high-pressure gas storage and transportation equipment, which can carry three times more hydrogen per trip than traditional steel tube trailers. Higher payloads translate into lower transportation costs, higher driver productivity, and lower carbon emissions.
