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.
Data-centered modularization with Engineering Base (EB)
Engineering Base (EB) provides a consistently reliable data model that serves an ideal basis for standardization and modularization in the hydrogen sector. The software's unique architecture facilitates straightforward upscaling scenarios and global collaborations. Furthermore, the software's user-friendly interface and minimal customization requirements make it an excellent fit for the growing market.

More hydrogen plants in less time with data-centered modularization
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.AUCOTEC CHEMIE TECHNIK H2 View
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.Read more here
EB’s data centricity is a milestone for Topsoe’s Engineering
The cooperative platform Engineering Base enables new digital development processes and can significantly reduce gaps between the demand for hydrogen electrolysers and H2-ready plants and the supply. This is also shown by the example of the Danish catalyst and electrolysis expert Topsoe, who uses Engineering Base as new data home for all plant related data.Read more here
Our Expert
Niclas Meier is Major Account Manager and hydrogen expert at AUCOTEC. "In addition to large-scale plant builders or operators, our software can also support customers who want to assign their projects more to the product world and work with highly standardized modules to 'click together', for example function-oriented assemblies. For this, Engineering Base offers an extremely intelligent solution."Get in touch!
