AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software, has been chosen by Protium—the UK’s largest green hydrogen developer—as the backbone of its digital industrial intelligence platform. This partnership aims to accelerate Protium’s development and scaling of green hydrogen solutions, driving the UK’s net-zero ambitions.
Through AVEVA’s advanced digital tools, Protium has already achieved a 30% reduction in process simulation time, a 15% increase in operational reliability, and identified opportunities to reduce maintenance spending by 15%. Looking ahead, AVEVA’s platform is expected to optimize process design and utility consumption, saving an additional 5–10% in CO2 emissions.
Caspar Herzberg, AVEVA’s CEO, highlighted the collaboration’s alignment with industrial sustainability goals, emphasizing the importance of flexible and resilient digital infrastructure to enable the net-zero transition.
Jon Constable, Protium’s COO, underscored green hydrogen’s critical role in the UK’s goal to cut CO2 emissions by 1 million tonnes annually by 2030. He praised AVEVA’s digital tools for enabling efficient, reliable, and scalable green hydrogen production as Protium prepares to open a second hydrogen plant and expand its portfolio.
Protium’s digital industrial intelligence platform integrates AVEVA software to collect, analyze, and visualize asset and operational data via an integrated digital twin. This solution enhances fault detection, error analysis, smart monitoring, and plant optimization—boosting reliability, minimizing downtime, and certifying electricity origin.
