Achieving carbon neutrality requires a fundamental transformation in how energy is produced, stored, and used. Green hydrogen – produced via renewable-powered electrolysis – is emerging as a key enabler of this transition. It can aid in decarbonizing sectors where direct electrification is difficult, including heavy industry, aviation, maritime transport, and long-distance trucking.
Beyond its role as a clean energy carrier, green hydrogen also supports the production of synthetic fuels such as e-kerosene, e-diesel, and synthetic methane when combined with captured CO₂. At the same time, it enables large-scale energy storage, absorbing surplus wind and solar power and releasing it when needed - helping stabilize renewable energy systems.
Join our AVL SIMpulse online event to explore how simulation-driven engineering accelerates the development of hydrogen technologies and renewable energy systems. In these free online sessions, industry experts share insights into industrial energy markets and demonstrate how virtual system layout and component design can reduce development costs and shorten time-to-market.
Whether you are working on future energy systems, next-generation electrolyzers and CO₂ capture technologies, or wind-turbine gearboxes, this event addresses key challenges across the energy sector.
