H2 Production, Storage, Distribution
We design green hydrogen plant and develop the Energy Control Unit and Software.
About H2 Production, Storage and Distribution


Hydrogen is widely recognized as a key factor for reaching climate neutrality acting as a bridge between renewable energy sources and multiple application that could be decarbonized.
The Energy vector nature of Hydrogen make it producible with different technologies and useful for a broad number of application.
The current main challenge for hydrogen produced with carbon neutral technologies is the cost. PUNCH Hydrocells team has identified 2 potential solutions in order to increase the economical sustainability of Hydrogen value chain in particular replying to the following questions:
1. Which is the optimal dimensioning of a green Hydrogen Production Storage and Distribution plant?
2. What could be optimal control methodology to enable the optimal energy balance among subcomponents
Service:
The techno-economic analysis for optimal system sizing
