hydrogen: network operater & industry customers

engine of the energy transition

Hydrogen is an elementary component of the energy transition. It can replace fossil fuels in many areas and enables the import of energy over long distances as well as its temporary storage. The measures adopted by the EU and the framework of the "National Hydrogen Strategy" (NWS) enable and promote the ramp-up of a hydrogen economy by 2030.
For industrial customers, this offers an attractive opportunity to decarbonize production plants by connecting them to the hydrogen core network decided in October 2024.

 

plenum AG offers you tailor-made solutions for your company across all value creation stages of the hydrogen economy.

network operator

description of the challenge
Energy generation is becoming increasingly decentralized and volatile, necessitating a much more efficient grid to address these challenges. Hydrogen can handle large energy flows to industrial customers while simultaneously acting as a buffer for the power grid.

use cases
- Intermediate storage of electricity from renewable sources to optimize the utilization of existing network infrastructure.
- Relief of the electricity network infrastructure by taking over large energy flows to large consumers 

 

our offer
Regional and supra-regional analyses to determine the financial and technological potential of intermediate transformations at the respective location

   Transmission system operators
- Direct connection of industrial customers
- Locations of import points / electrolyzers           
- Intermediate storage of energy

   Distribution system operators
- Design of the distribution network
- Discussion about strategy (start/target network)
- Construction of decentralized electrolyzers


 

industry customers

description of the challenge
To achieve climate targets, industrial companies must transform and decarbonize their production processes. However, the current infrastructure is not equipped to support this transition. Hydrogen offers a solution by enabling a stable and secure transformation.

use cases- Replacement of fossil fuels 
- Enables the consumption of large amounts of energy that cannot be produced via power lines
- Easier import of energy through the hydrogen import network currently under construction

roadmap

our offer
- Analysis of hydrogen potential by specific industry & region
- Strategic advice on the further development of the hydrogen market
- Support in registering requirements with the transmission system operators
