Profile
Clean hydrogen-as-a-service for industrial application scenarios
Hydrogen Rise takes on a pioneering role in the global transition to a clean hydrogen economy. The company, based in Munich, Germany, supports countries along the global sunbelt in developing an infrastructure for the innovative and cost-effective production and export of green hydrogen, with its main focus on industrial customers. Envisioning a holistic hydrogen economy, Hydrogen Rise focuses on an end-to-end implementation concept based on cooperation with global partners. As such, the company not only coordinates the design, construction and operation of renewable energy plants and hydrogen production systems. Hydrogen Rise also offers storage, energy management and distribution solutions with the aim of providing green hydrogen to end users, supplying clean “Hydrogen as a Service.”®
Hydrogen Rise builds its expertise on the founding members’ professional background and their 20 years of experience in clean hydrogen technologies as well as their clean hydrogen startup experience. Furthermore, cooperations with multiple highly innovative German and international companies as well as joint projects with scientific institutions like Technical University Munich, German University of Technology – GUtech (Muscat) & RWTH Aachen allow Hydrogen Rise to act as a business enabler for local entities in the global sunbelt, strengthening the generation of in-country value.
The fundamental transformation of the energy industry through the energy transition from fossil to renewable energy sources initiates a comprehensive transformation process shaping the hydrogen economy with implications for businesses and society.

Clean Hydrogen is key for the only future
Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier that can be produced from renewable electricity, avoiding carbon emissions. It can be transported as a liquid or gas at high energy density. Hydrogen can be combusted or used in fuel cells for heat and electricity generation.
Applications of clean hydrogen include (road) transport, shipping and aviation, rail, electricity as well as heating for buildings. Clean hydrogen will replace fossil fuels as a zero-carbon feedstock in chemical and fuel production. Moreover, it allows storage of surplus renewables power. As such, a clean hydrogen economy impacts on several important areas:
Politics
A clean hydrogen economy shapes the implementation of local and global industrial policy and sustainability goals and enables furthermore the continuation of the global energy transition.
Industry
Hydrogen is the key component respecting integrated energies. Clean hydrogen and its downstream products (Power-to-X) open up the decarbonization pathways in areas where electricity from renewables cannot be used directly.
Climate
The establishment of a clean hydrogen economy is the prerequsite to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement as well as the achievement of goals set by national governments and international institutions. This will help reduce the effects of climate change.
