AVEVA and Protium partner to advance green hydrogen innovation using digital tools, boosting efficiency, reducing emissions, and optimizing operations.
AVEVA, a global frontrunner in industrial software focused on digital transformation and sustainability, has partnered with Protium, the UK’s largest green hydrogen developer, to accelerate innovation in the green hydrogen sector. AVEVA's advanced software suite forms the core of Protium’s newly developed digital industrial intelligence platform, designed to streamline project development and improve operational efficiency in delivering sustainable hydrogen energy.
Through the integration of AVEVA’s cutting-edge solutions, Protium has already seen significant operational benefits. The company has reported a 30% reduction in the time employees spend on process simulation, a 15% improvement in system reliability, and a 15% decrease in anticipated maintenance expenses. These efficiencies underscore the role of digital tools in optimizing green hydrogen operations. Moreover, Protium aims to save around 256,000 tons of CO2 annually, and projects that the deployment of AVEVA’s technologies will contribute an additional 5–10% savings through refined process design and smarter utility usage.
Caspar Herzberg, CEO of AVEVA, emphasized the significance of the partnership, stating, “Our collaboration with Protium showcases our dedication to enabling sustainable industrial practices. Achieving net-zero emissions through technology demands a resilient and scalable digital infrastructure. What we’ve built for Protium is a cost-effective, intelligent data platform that empowers them to unlock the full potential of their green hydrogen capabilities.”
Protium’s Chief Operating Officer, Jon Constable, highlighted the strategic importance of digitalization in the hydrogen sector: “Green hydrogen plays a vital role in the UK’s mission to cut CO2 emissions by 1 million tonnes per year by 2030. To reach that target efficiently, we must invest in the right digital infrastructure. Our partnership with AVEVA has equipped us with the tools necessary to scale production and optimize operations—especially timely as we prepare to launch our second hydrogen production facility and expand our portfolio.”
Protium's approach encompasses the complete hydrogen lifecycle, including design, development, financing, ownership, and operations of green hydrogen assets across various sectors. The company’s digital intelligence platform, powered by AVEVA, integrates a sophisticated digital twin that captures, contextualizes, and visualizes real-time data from assets and operations. This digital twin not only enhances visibility but also enables fault detection, predictive maintenance, and performance analytics across the entire value chain.
With AVEVA’s suite of tools, Protium is poised to realize benefits such as smart monitoring and control, certification of renewable electricity origin, increased plant efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced reliability. The partnership signifies a major step forward in using digital solutions to scale green hydrogen infrastructure efficiently and sustainably.
