The hydrogen economy is here to stay. Hydrogen as an energy carrier is becoming a key element for a global energy transition - also as a central building block for decarbonisation. Demand could increase rapidly in the next few years - the prerequisite for an increasing demand is that the appropriate infrastructures are created.
For this purpose, Sopra Steria is expanding its energy management software solutions to map the specific requirements for hydrogen in metering and energy determination (DVGW G 685-6), transport, storage, product sales and billing. Our software is well prepared for the integration of a cross-system operator access model for hydrogen.
Both models are supported, for blending hydrogen into today's natural gas grid as well as pure hydrogen transport by rededication of natural gas pipelines or new construction.
