Kyocera’s high performance components work reliably – even in the most demanding environments

07.10.2022

Hydrogen is an upcoming energy carrier regarding future solutions in many fields, Kyocera’s components’ excellent mechanical robustness and hermetic sealing technologies can offer the right solution for various applications. In order to present the newest innovations and possibilities in this field, Kyocera will exhibit its ceramic parts at the fair Hydrogen 2022, taking place in Bremen on October 19 and 20.

Due to the fact that Hydrogen is projected to be the energy carrier of the future and that the demand for hydrogen and corresponding investments is rising accordingly, Kyocera is furthermore setting standards in order to reach the aim of a more efficient future with their ceramic components. Kyocera’s ceramics therefore have the appropriate characteristics to function reliably in the demanding environment and can be used in various hydrogen applications.

Hydrogen as the energy carrier of the future

Hydrogen is a highly flexible energy carrier. Owing to its quite difficult handling and transportation, special solutions using ceramic materials present new possibilities to overcome related challenges. If it is produced with renewable energies, it is also climate-friendly. Beside the advantages concerning the climate as well as the security of supply, hydrogen technologies and solutions have the potential to reach the global market and create future places of employment.

CO2-free production of Hydrogen

Generally, one can distinguish between green, blue and turquoise Hydrogen. Especially green Hydrogen produced by electrolysis with water, is becoming significantly more important in the near future. Green Hydrogen is the major measure in order to reach the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. Besides this fact, green Hydrogen stands out with its diversity of uses in different fields of application. For example, it is the only way to make certain processes in the chemical industry and the most practical way to replace coal in the steel industry. In the so-called electrolysis process, the water is broken down into Hydrogen and Oxygen with the help of electricity. The electricity required for the process comes exclusively from renewable energies. Furthermore, this means that the used energy as well as the production of Hydrogen are CO2- free. Due to the special chemical properties of Hydrogen, safety and performance must be ensured throughout the entire value chain, i.e. production, transport and storage.

Ceramic in Hydrogen applications

Kyocera can supply high-performance ceramic materials showing high performance in harsh environment conditions, like in Hydrogen processes. The excellent mechanical robustness and hermetic sealing technologies can offer the right solution for various applications. By identifying the specific needs of your application, Kyocera is able to select or develop the most suitable material to provide the right custom solution for your needs.

Full assemblies based on individual customer’s requirements

In total, Kyocera not only provides ceramic components, but fully customized solutions. Thanks to a big variety of shaping methods, many years of experience in brazing technology and a wide portfolio of coating technologies, Kyocera is able to provide full assemblies based on their customers’ requirements and needs. Kyocera’s electric feedthroughs are hermetically sealed and suitable, even for UHV applications. With a big range of available metal- and brazing materials, they can be adapted to be usable under different conditions such as corrosive environment, mechanical load/high pressure and high temperatures.
