In Spain, Multiverse Computing has used quantum algorithms to optimize the electrolysis process for green hydrogen generation. The solution achieves a 5% increase in H2 production and associated revenue delivered by the quantum solver compared to the classical solver.production. The quantum digital twin numerically simulates a green hydrogen production plant by using operating parameters of the plant as inputs. Using a classical solver to optimize hydrogen production, the virtual plant delivered 62,579 kg of green H2 and revenue of 154,204 euros. By using quantum-inspired tensor networks with Multiverse’s Singularity, the quantum approach delivered 65,421 kg and revenue of 160,616 euros. This represents a 5% increase in hydrogen production and a 5% increase in revenues produced. Multiverse’s partners in this work are IDEA Engineer, an engineering firm that specializes in renewable projects and digital twins, and AMETIC, Spain’s digital industry association. IDEA developed the digital twin ecosystem for optimizing the generation of green hydrogen. AMETIC is coordinating the overall project.
“Electrolysers are currently deployed at a small scale, making hydrogen production costly, so they require significant scale up in an affordable way,” said Enrique Lizaso Olmos, CEO of Multiverse Computing. “This project demonstrates how quantum algorithms can improve the production of green hydrogen to make renewable energy more cost-effective today and in the future.”
