A Commitment
to Sustainability
AVL’s Approach to Energy Management:
Green Hydrogen Production
nergy management has become more crucial than
ever, wit� new directives on energy e�ciency and
renewable sources reshaping how we produce and
consume energy. To navigate this transition, an integrated
and innovative approach is essential. At AVL, we’re deeply
committed to this cause, actively engaging in energy
monitoring and management to create a greener future. Our
a��roac� s�ans vario�s fields, ens�ring t�at we not only trac�
energy �sage, ��t also o�timi�e it �or ma�im�m e�ciency and
sustainability.
Energy Management in Testing: EMOS
When it comes to testing, AVL EMOS™ – Energy Management
and Optimization System is a game changer. Imagine having
a system that understands every nuance of your testing
processes. EMOS does just that by seamlessly integrating
with automation systems. This deep understanding allows us
to measure and predict power demand accurately, ensuring
t�at energy is �sed e�ciently. �t�s not ��st a�o�t monitoring� it�s
about making every watt count.
Beyond Testing: The Power of ATENE
But our commitment to energy management doesn’t stop
at testing. AVL ATENE™ – Advanced Technologies for
ENergy EfÏciency is the innovative solution designed to help
companies manage and optimize their energy usage while
controlling their carbon footprint. Think of it as your personal
sustainability guru, combining easy-to-integrate hardware
with user-friendly software for a comprehensive energy
management experience and capable of suggesting and
im�lementing strategies to o�timi�e energy e�ciency.
ATENE can integrate with other management systems already
�resent on t�e site �li�e �����, ens�ring ma�im�m �e�i�ility
for the user and serving as a unique data collector, able to
consolidate sustainability reports across functions.
The adoption of energy management systems (EMS) like
EMOS and ATENE provides the foundation for achieving
environmental objectives within the ESG (Environmental, Social,
and Governance) framework. Sustainability reports derived from
EMS data enable organizations to track progress, comply with
legislative requirements, and showcase their commitment to
responsible energy management.
In summary, AVL’s energy management strategy emphasizes
innovation and sustainability. With solutions like EMOS and
ATENE, we are not only addressing current energy needs, but
also paving the way for a sustainable future. Furthermore, our
advanced energy management capabilities help organizations
monitor and reduce indirect emissions across their entire
supply chain, thereby supporting ESG Scope 3 objectives.
�oin �s on t�is �o�rney towards a greener, more e�cient world.
In today’s world, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword;
it’s a necessity.
Let’s dive into how
AVL is making a
diference.
AVL Is
Shaping the Energy
of the Future
As already outlined in the interview on page 10/11, AVL is intensifying its
efforts in the field of electrolysis solutions and has been playing a pioneering
role in the field of "hydrogen as an energy source" for more than 20 years. With
a team of more than 650 engineers, we are making a significant contribution to
further development and implementation of this future technology.
n addition to development projects and test solutions that
focus on the further development of electrolysis technology,
we are now also applying our knowledge of hydrogen to the
planning and construction of hydrogen production plants for
this promising energy source. Together with our consortium
�artners, we are wor�ing on greenfield develo�ment o�
hydrogen production facilities, or the extension or conversion
of existing infrastructure for this purpose. One example of this
is a current project in Italy led by AVL to adapt a former train
station for hydrogen production, storage, and refueling for
trains and buses.
Wide-Ranging Expertise
AVL provides extensive expertise from planning to realization of
complete H� �rod�ction �acilities, s�ecifically wit� regard to t�e
design and construction of Balance of Plants (BoP), systems
automation, energy management, and security concepts.
We can function as general contractors to execute projects
with numerous partners and suppliers, on time and with the
highest level of quality – representing unparalleled added value.
Thanks to our global network, we guarantee access to a reliable
network of suppliers and top-class service. One of our focus
areas is predictive maintenance. Advanced technologies enable
us to continuously monitor and optimize systems.
Electrolyzer Demonstrators
The development of electrolyzer demonstrators is an
o�tstanding e�am�le o� o�r innovative a�ility in t�e field o�
hydrogen generation. We can leverage our extensive in-house
knowledge when designing the Balance of Plant for selected
electrolysis stacks and for the integration of complex systems
in modular solutions. In cooperation with our partner CERES,
t�is res�lted in t�e world�s first solid�o�ide electroly�er cell
������ �ydrogen electroly�er, wit� an e�ciency level o� ����.
This is currently being evaluated by Shell in India. This system
underwent advance testing at AVL SCHRICK, where we
�rovide testing ca�acity �or electrolysis �acilities o� �� to ����
peak performance.
Our Contribution to the Future
Our wide-ranging expertise means that AVL is perfectly
positioned to overcome the challenges of hydrogen generation
and to deliver sustainable energy solutions for the future.
Thanks to continuous innovation and strategic partnerships,
we are involved in designing the energy of tomorrow – making
a more sustainable contribution to the development of the
global energy landscape.
