The start-up develops innovative solutions for green hydrogen. With CIM Database Cloud and Elements for IoT, it now creates an end-to-end digital backbone that connects product development, operations, and service.
Hydrogen is considered a key energy carrier of the future. To date, however, its production and transport remain cost-intensive and technically demanding. H2Green Oil addresses these challenges with a holistic and standardized approach for decentralized hydrogen production. The company sees itself as a system integrator that combines individual components – such as those from Advanced Hydrogen Storage GmbH – into an integrated hydrogen concept that optimally aligns production, storage, and transport from both a technological and an energetic perspective.
H2Green Oil uses green wind and solar energy to produce hydrogen in electrolyzers. The water required for electrolysis is extracted directly from the surrounding air using a proprietary, innovative process. This conserves local drinking water resources and enables independent water supply. For storage and transport, the hydrogen is then chemically bound to a carrier oil using LOHC technology (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier). This allows it to be transported without pressure, safely, and in an economical and flexible manner.
To bring its technology to market quickly and in compliance with regulatory requirements, the company is now implementing CIM Database Cloud and Elements for IoT from CONTACT Software. The cloud solutions are ideal for the startup: they can be rolled out rapidly without extensive IT efforts and easily scaled in the future. CIM Database Cloud and Elements for IoT are based on an integrated platform, enabling H2Green Oil to seamlessly bridge the gap between product development, operations, and service.
In the first phase, an integrated solution for PLM and project management will be implemented. It connects processes, project information, and product data while ensuring efficient collaboration. H2Green Oil can also actively involve partners, authorities, and customers via a collaboration platform. Comprehensive documentation simplifies compliance with regulatory requirements, while project management functions enable transparent cost control, optimal resource utilization, and on-time project delivery.
In the next step, H2Green Oil will expand the system to feature IoT modules. This will allow the company to capture and analyze plant data in real time and use it to optimize its operational processes. Based on this data, H2Green Oil also intends to offer its customers services for predictive maintenance, operational optimization, as well as energy and asset management.
“CONTACT’s cloud solution forms the foundation for scalable, future-proof processes and ensures innovation and operational reliability even during rapid technological change,” says Nils Döpke, Managing Director at H2Green Oil. The company can expand the system at its own pace and increase the number of users step by step without overwhelming the organization.
H2Green Oil aims to combine ecological responsibility with economic success. Based in Wagenfeld, Germany, the company is making an important contribution to the transformation toward a climate-neutral industry and a sustainable energy supply.
