Important results from the project

We are on a mission to replace fossil fuels in heavy industry by enabling green hydrogen at scale. Our software is made by leading experts in project energy development and software engineering. We offer the ultimate software solution for energy companies striving to dominate the green hydrogen, green ammonia and Power-to-X sector. From greenfield to brownfield stages, our cutting-edge platform streamlines project development, significantly reduces engineering hours, and enhances precision and reliability.

Expected long term effects

During the project we made 11 product iterations, enabling for our customers more streamlined pre-feasibility studies, basic optimization and basic electrolyzer tech selection. Our product simulates green hydrogen projects’ viability by analyzing technical and financial metrics. Currently, our metrics are still basic and can be developed with more data when global hydrogen projects advance. Our techno-economic holistic approach to hydrogen projects is unique in the industry but we are still lacking data to provide the best solution.

Approach and implementation

Our product development journey so far includes: Multiple power sources and simulation types, Simulation-based optimization framework, business model options, Ammonia production, Sales of electricity, hydrogen and ammonia. We have collected transcripts from 20+ onboarding sessions and 30+ demos. Requests have been organized into tasks that we implemented iteratively to improve the product. We have conducted 15+ user conversations about customer wishes. This collaboration with our customers has steered our product in the direction where customers find the most value.
