A green hydrogen production solution for the decarbonization of industrial processes and energy sustainability.
IVHY™ 100 is Saipem’s industrialized, modular and scalable solution developed based on Nel's alkaline technology.
IVHY™ 100 addresses market needs as a response to the growing demand for green hydrogen for decarbonisation of industrial sectors, to produce green derivatives such as ammonia, methanol and sustainable fuels to support our clients with the decarbonisation path towards the Net Zero.
The competitive advantage of IVHY™ 100
IVHY™ 100 is a replicable and scalable solution, built with functional units from 20 MW up to 100 MW and more.
IVHY™ 100 is an optimised integration between energy input and conversion, electrolysis process, hydrogen purification including utilities, that leverages Saipem’s extensive experience as an integrator of systems and technologies in the conventional O&G and energy sectors.
Saipem uses its industrialized solutions for green hydrogen production (IVHY™ 100) and carbon capture (BluenzymeTM) to offer complete packages for the conversion to green products by integrating them with downstream processing, such as methanation, ammonia, methanol and SAF synthesis.
Performance guaranteed product;
High efficiency guaranteed over time.
Continuous technology and design improving to reduce LCOH (Levelized Cost of Hydrogen).
Fully integrated and optimized design by Saipem as experienced EPC contractor for large scale projects;
Scalable solution with purification suitable for multiple industrial end users.
What can IVHY™ 100 be used for?
IVHY™ 100 can be used to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia in medium and large-scale plants but also in sectors where hydrogen offers an interesting opportunity for decarbonisation such as in the production of steel and cement and complex existing industrial structures which already use hydrogen, such as in refining, petrochemicals and fertilizers.
In synergy with the capture and use of CO2, green hydrogen is used for the production of e-fuel, i.e. e-methanol, e-methane and e-SAF.
Reliability and efficiency
Nel’s alkaline electrolysers are highly reliable and efficient and have been successfully installed in hundreds of existing plants and continuously improved thanks to Nel’s knowledge, experience and expertise.
Saipem’s industrialized green hydrogen solution (IVHY™ 100) is pre-engineered, modular and scalable, built with competitive time and costs, can easily adapt to clients’ different needs.

What is green hydrogen?
Green hydrogen is hydrogen supplied by renewable sourced and produced by the process of water electrolysis. The only by-product is oxygen which can be dispersed without damage into the atmosphere. The term electrolysis is derived from the Greek and means "to dissolve bonds with electricity". In the case of water electrolysis, for example, through the passage of a continuous electrical direct current (DC) a molecule of water (H2O) is split into molecules of gaseous, hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2).
