The process industries are under pressure to move towards zero carbon products and processes. This is driving major investment in clean energy, more sustainable or new process routes, carbon capture, use of hydrogen as an energy carrier, or switching to circular bio-based or waste feeds. Siemens provide software, services and solutions to help accelerate decarbonization and our digital approach helps address these challenges.
Accelerate the three phases of decarbonization: Immediately, by minimizing emissions from existing assets; in the medium term, through emissions-mitigation technologies; in the long-term, by accelerating new process development.
Use Digital Twins that embody detailed physics and chemistry knowledge. Accelerate prototyping, development and scale-up of new low-carbon processes. Rapidly optimize process designs and reduce experimentation and pilot costs.
For existing plants, there is no magic route to achieving net zero. But online digital applications specifically designed to monitor and optimize energy use provide immediate benefits in terms of day-to-day emissions reduction.
Siemens’ gPROMS technology is widely used to design electrolyzer processes for optimal handling of varying energy availability.
Siemens is a pioneer in modelling tools for carbon capture, utilization and storage processes to ensure optimal design and operation.
Our biofuels digital twin technology helps companies to optimize processes and scale systems rapidly.
Siemens’ gPROMS emissions optimization technology can be applied to any large site to reduce emissions daily.
With the share of renewables increasing, grid operators are incentivizing large users to adjust demand. Digital technologies help optimize every decision.
Creating a green hydrogen infrastructure
Siemens worked with hydrogen solutions provider Protium on the Digital Twin project, funded by the UK Department for Transport, with the aim of digitalizing the development of green hydrogen infrastructure for aircraft.
Accelerating green hydrogen process
A key player in Power-to-X and green hydrogen technologies, chose a Digital Twin approach, enabling engineers to rapidly establish viability of design choices and quantify the risk associated with design and operating decisions
