NEUMAN & ESSER (NEA), leveraging its 190+ years of engineering expertise and decades in hydrogen compression, proposes hydrogen as a critical solution for decarbonizing the highly emission-intensive steel and cement industries. These sectors contribute ~15% of global CO₂ emissions, primarily from inherent chemical processes and fossil fuel reliance.

Based on Presentation by Dr. Nguyen Huu Luong (Senior Hydrogen Researcher at Vietnam Petroleum Institute), June 27 2025 at our VAHC Seminar on Clean Hydrogen: Technology and Solutions for Hard-to-Abate Industries and Innovative Financing Solutions for Hydrogen projects.
