Green Hydrogen - Efficient engineering as enabler for the energy transition

How to make the hydrogen ramp-up succeed:

Data-centered engineering significantly accelerates plant construction

Hydrogen, especially "green" hydrogen produced with renewable energy, is an important building block towards decarbonization. Opportunities and demand are enormous, especially in industry and the mobility sector. But so far, neither are there enough electrolyzers for the H2 production, nor are vehicles, infrastructure and facilities sufficiently equipped to use hydrogen yet.

For AUCOTEC, it is an important concern to change this as quickly as possible and thus to promote the energy transition in this area as well. Our contribution to this: the data-centered cooperation platform, Engineering Base (EB). It enables new digital development processes that help to shorten project lead times and at the same time create high-quality data for operations. In this way, the large gap between demand and the realization of green hydrogen technology can be closed much faster.

In addition to advancements in the electrolysis technology itself, optimizing engineering processes for hydrogen electrolysis plants is a key driver for enhancing efficiency. By using cross-disciplinary engineering solutions with a high modularization approach, electrolysis potentials can be increased even further.

One versatile data model from FEED to Operation

One versatile data model from FEED to Operation

Designed for EPCs, plant manufacturers, contractors, and owner-operators, Engineering Base (EB) streamlines the design process and ensures seamless continuity from FEED to Process and Detail Engineering of process-oriented plants. The software's corresponding data model represents the highest level of digitization - Each object exists only once in it, and diagrams, datasheets and lists are only different representations of the same object. This allows for all departments to edit and detail the object from their unique perspective, with each addition directly visible to all parties without the need for interfaces, data transfers, or transmission errors. As a result, EB enables natural consistency throughout the design process. Learn more about EB on our website.
