Heat, gas & hydrogen
Heat planning, district heating, gas network transformation, hydrogen core network.
30 minutes on the project that's pressing for you right now. No sales loop.
In short
Heat and gas network transformation forces utilities to rethink two networks at once: municipal heat planning under the WPG and the gas network transformation plan. Both need the same data basis, both carry their own deadlines from WPG, BEW and the EnWG gas package. In practice it rarely fails on the roadmap. It fails because grid, consumption and generation data sit in different systems and nobody joins them up.
Municipal heat planning, decarbonisation roadmaps and the gas network transformation plan force utilities to rethink two networks at once. We bring the data basis, network optimisation and the deadlines from WPG, BEW and the EnWG gas package into one programme that looks at the heat and gas divisions together.
innobu has partly delivered in this field and partly worked at programme level.
