ZeroAvia develops software to cut cost of hydrogen production

ZeroAvia has developed AI-driven “microgrid optimization” software which it says will minimise the cost of hydrogen production for clean aviation and other applications. According to ZeroAvia, real-world testing of the Smart Hydrogen AI Production Software (SHAIPS) “has shown in excess of a 20 percent reduction of the levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH) compared to an electrolyser generating all H2 based on the average electricity wholesale price”. In order to test the software on real hardware, ZeroAvia said that its software division had worked with its hydrogen infrastructure team to develop a working sub-scale smart microgrid in California, inclusive of renewable
