Digitalization

Green H₂ is critical to achieving sustainability targets in the industrial sector. To accelerate the H₂ ramp-up, the technology company Siemens will be supporting companies in the H₂ industry with software tools based on generative artificial intelligence.

H₂Tech (H₂T) sat down with Francois Laborie (FL), Executive VP at Cognite, for a Q&A about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and data operations on industrial operations, the importance of reliable data and the future of H₂.

Francois Laborie, Executive VP at Cognite, joins us live from CERAWeek in Houston. This episode covers the impact of AI and Data Ops on industrial operations, the importance of reliable data, and the future of H₂. Don't miss Francois' insights into driving efficiency and sustainability in heavy industries.

In this episode of H₂TechTalk, we interview Ron Beck and Gerardo Muñoz from AspenTech, who shed light on the digital technologies reshaping the H₂ industry. They discuss AspenTech’s role in developing end-to-end digital solutions that enhance efficiency across the H₂ value chain—from production through utilization. Listen as they break down how simulation and process modeling are pivotal in advancing operational excellence and sustainability in H₂ projects, offering a glimpse into the future of energy systems.

As the global focus on sustainability continues, an increasing interest in hydrogen (H₂) operations has emerged. Consequently, the world has become more focused on H₂ transportation methods to support those operations.

May’s H₂Tech Tech Spotlight consists of new H₂ fuel cells, an open-source toolkit to measure H₂’s carbon intensity, iridium-free catalyst coated anion exchange membranes and an innovative direct air capture (DAC) green methanol offshore production platform.

In a rapidly developing sector, the first phase of this marketplace will enable players with their own transport solutions to source green H₂ from referenced production sites, and producers to coordinate their efforts to strengthen the green H₂ offer across Europe.

A typical steam methane reformer (SMR), which is a major process unit, easily consumes half as much natural gas for fuel as it reforms. The vast bulk of H₂ produced today still uses this approach.

In a collaborative move with the W3C Consortium, Siemens and Microsoft have announced their commitment to converge the digital twin definition language (DTDL) with the Thing Description standard from international standards organization, W3C.

AVEVA announced a strategic partnership with Newpoint Trillium Management, creating a digital twin for their clean H₂ and manufacturing projects to reindustrialize the former Department of Energy sites in Ohio and Kentucky as well as projects throughout Central Appalachia.

Avid Solutions, a Gold Rockwell Automation System Integrator Partner specializing in process expertise and digitally-enabled solutions, announced significant growth in demand for the company’s decarbonization and green H₂ services.
