Schneider Electric, a leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with H2-Enterprises to explore and develop innovative solutions for energy supply and management in buildings. The collaboration aims to leverage Schneider Electric's expertise in energy management and H2-Enterprises' innovative technology in clean hydrogen to contribute to the decarbonisation and net zero objectives of the Middle East and Africa.
The MoU between Schneider Electric and H2-Enterprises sets the stage for collaboration on various initiatives. The collaboration will involve joint project development, pilot programmes, technology exchange, and knowledge sharing. By leveraging the strengths and capabilities of both organisations, they will explore, develop and implement innovative solutions for energy supply and management in buildings.
Under the MoU, Schneider Electric will provide its expertise and technical support in energy management, infrastructure, building automation, and related areas. This collaboration will enhance the development and implementation of clean hydrogen solutions. H2-Enterprises, on the other hand, will contribute its expertise and technologies in clean hydrogen production, storage and conversion. This includes waste-to-hydrogen, hydrogen from solar and wind, liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) for hydrogen storage and transport, renewables integration, and fuel cells.
To ensure effective implementation of the collaboration, the MoU establishes a governance structure. Amel Chadli, Vice President Digital Energy and Software - Middle East & Africa, will represent Schneider Electric, while Michael Stusch, Executive Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, will represent H2-Enterprises. Regular meetings will be organised to review progress, address challenges, and foster cooperation in the areas of interest.
"Schneider Electric envisions buildings of the future that are sustainable, resilient, hyper-efficient, and people-centric. Through our Electricity 4.0 approach, combining digitalisation for efficiency and electrification for decarbonisation, we are committed to making this vision a reality. By joining forces with H2-Enterprises, we aim to leverage their clean hydrogen technology and expertise to further accelerate the transition towards a sustainable and green future", said Chadli.
"Through our collaboration with Schneider Electric, H2-Enterprises aims to revolutionise the global energy landscape. By leveraging our innovative technologies, including clean hydrogen production, safe storage, and efficient transportation solutions, together with Schneider Electric's expertise, we are driving the transition towards a sustainable and emission-free future. Join us in creating a world where clean, affordable energy is accessible to all, making a lasting impact on the environment and future generations" said Stusch.
