Siemens and Protium collaborate to create green hydrogen infrastructure for aircraft

Posted on 3 Mar 2022 by The Manufacturer

Siemens and Protium have initiated the Digital Twin project, which aims to digitalise the development of green hydrogen infrastructure for aircraft. The companies will develop rapid refuelling technology via a 'digital twin' approach to accelerate design and testing.

This deploys a digital model of the refuelling system to explore the decision space to optimise system design, then simulate and optimise real-world performance, reducing the need for expensive prototyping. Hydrogen technologies are essential to support the 2050 net zero target for domestic flights. Green hydrogen produced using renewable electricity can replace conventional fossil fuels;…
