Gradyent develops Digital Twins for two industrial steam grids in Rijnmond with JTF support
Gradyent has recently successfully developed Digital Twins for two industrial steam grids in the Rijnmond area with support from the Joint Transition Fund (JTF). The European Union launched the JTF to support regions most impacted by the transition toward climate neutrality, equipping it with almost 20 billion euros.
The JTF funding played a pivotal role in Gradyent’s early-stage development of industrial Digital Twin solutions, unlocking the support of key partners in the sector. With this financial backing, Gradyent’s team was able to create accurate and dynamic digital replicas of the steam grids and train operators in using them to reduce carbon emissions.
Gradyent’s Digital Twin Platform has already enabled companies to identify savings potential across various site elements. These potential improvements include enhancing efficiency and simulating future developments related to the energy transition. They are expected to generate direct results in terms of carbon emissions reduction.
As the Rijnmond area undergoes a transformative energy transition, Digital Twins play a crucial role in ensuring the continuity of industrial sites. By simulating various scenarios, Gradyent’s technology helps industries adapt to changing energy demands while maintaining operational efficiency.
Gradyent’s commitment to sustainability continues. The next steps involve finalising the inclusion of all segments of the steam grid within the Digital Twins and expanding their use cases.
“By helping industrial players drive their transition and decarbonise faster, Gradyent remains dedicated to driving innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility in the sector”.
