H₂Grid - Green Hydrogen Infrastructure Mapping and Optimization

Overview

H2Grid is a map-based tool designed to accelerate the development of the hydrogen ecosystem. It visualizes existing and planned hydrogen infrastructure, such as plants, storage facilities, pipelines, and distribution hubs. By leveraging data-driven models, H2Grid provides site selection recommendations for new hydrogen projects based on key criteria like proximity to renewable energy sources, market demand, regulatory zones, and cost optimization.

Features

• Interactive Map: Visualize hydrogen infrastructure across India with layered data on renewable energy sources, demand centers, and transport logistics.
• Site Selection Recommendations: Data-driven suggestions for optimal project locations based on proximity to renewables, market demand, regulatory zones, and cost efficiency.
• User-Friendly Interface: Modern, responsive design for seamless interaction and visualization.
• Charts & Analytics: Dynamic visualizations showing hydrogen production, consumption, and cost trends across regions in India.
• Indian Map Integration: Geospatial mapping of renewable resources, demand centers, and infrastructure specifically for Indian states and cities.
• Marketplace Module: The platform features a dedicated Marketplace where industry stakeholders can buy and sell key hydrogen-related raw materials and components, including electrolyzer parts, catalysts, membranes, and hydrogen carriers such as ammonia and methanol.
