The foundations of cost-competitive hydrogen

The success of hydrogen production will rely as much on software and data integration for optimisation and tracking as on physical infrastructure and demand

For hydrogen to become the flexible clean fuel for heavy industry and shipping, hydrogen developers need to reduce production costs while having the capacity and ability to scale dynamically as required. Stable, cost-effective hydrogen production is as central to developing the hydrogen economy as creating the demand and logistics network needed to support it. Developments in automation, particularly machine-learning-enabled AI models, have led to an industrial revolution over the past five years. Reimagining the legacy machine design and commissioning process, as well as traditional onboarding and training, and standard operating procedures, with automation and machine learning as a core te
