<p>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.</p> <p>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; however current technology is not able to deliver the rapid refuelling essential to make hydrogen commercially viable for the aviation sector.</p> <p>Protium is at the forefront of the aircraft industry’s green transition and is dedicated to providing a holistic energy service for achieving zero emissions. It designs, develops, finances and operates green hydrogen solutions across aviation, consumer-facing industrial applications and transport.</p> <p>Siemens Process Automation is a leading supplier of advanced process modelling technology for digital design, and helps innovators accelerate new process technology to market while managing technology risk. The Digital Twin project is grant-funded by the Connected Places Catapult and the UK Department for Transport, to help advance innovative technology that will accelerate the transition to Zero Emission Flight.</p>
