Operations software for green hydrogen & e-fuel plants
GreenFuels Ops connects to your control system read-only, schedules the electrolyzer against day-ahead and intraday prices, watches stack health, and assembles the RED III / RFNBO evidence chain automatically — while the plant runs.
Price grows outward (EUR/MWh, orange); load reaches inward (% of rated capacity, teal) — the cheapest hour pulls the deepest. Output at 51.2 kWh per kg (IRENA reference for PEM).
Why it matters
Your electrolyzer can move between 20 and 100 percent of rated capacity within minutes. Run flat, and you pay the average price for every kilogram. The margin is in the hours — if the price signal, the equipment condition and the compliance clock sit in one system.
What a 50 MW facility spends on electricity in a year. Improving when that power is bought is worth more than most efficiency projects on site.
Of achievable EBITDA goes unrealised at facilities without integrated scheduling — a plant built correctly, then run on yesterday's assumptions.
Per facility, per year, to assemble RFNBO evidence by hand from meter exports, PPA contracts and grid data. The work repeats every reporting period.
The platform
Point tools each answer one question and hand you a spreadsheet. GreenFuels Ops holds the price curve, the stack condition and the hourly matching requirement in a single model — and returns one production schedule, re-solved every fifteen minutes across a rolling thirty-six hour horizon.
Inside the product
Four screens, one facility, no export step in between. Every figure below is the 50 MW demo configuration used throughout this page, and every derived value is computed — not illustrated.

Gate closures for EPEX SPOT day-ahead and intraday are held in the solver.
Voltage rises as membranes and catalyst layers degrade. Replacing on a fixed calendar wastes stack life; replacing late wastes energy on every kilogram produced.
Condition-based scheduling moves the intervention into a high-price hour the plant would have curtailed anyway — extending the run to the 80 percent efficiency threshold by roughly 14 percent.
Delegated Regulations 2023/1184 and 2023/1185. Hourly correlation retained from the first day of operation, ahead of the January 2030 requirement.

Try it
The relationship the scheduler works with, at the demo facility's 50 MW rating. Specific energy consumption held at 51.2 kWh per kilogram, the IRENA reference figure for PEM electrolysis.
output (kg/h) = rated capacity (MW) × load ÷ 51.2 kWh/kg × 1000
What operators get
Energy savings at a 50 MW site from price-aware scheduling — several times the subscription.
Lower energy cost per kilogram of hydrogen, measured against flat-load operation.
Payback on the subscription, before counting the certification workload it removes.
Longer stack service window from condition-based intervention timing.
RED III & RFNBO
Hourly matching of renewable supply to production becomes mandatory in January 2030. The platform records consumption and origin hour by hour from the day a site connects — so the evidence exists before the rule takes effect, not after.
Delegated Regulations 2023/1184 and 2023/1185 in force. Monthly correlation applies. Plants commissioned now will operate under rules that tighten later.
Hourly temporal correlation becomes mandatory. RED III requires 42 percent of industrial hydrogen to be certified RFNBO.
The threshold rises to 60 percent. Without certification: no subsidy, no green premium, no access to the compliance market.
Deployment
No control-system replacement, no plant shutdown, no twelve-month integration project. The platform observes your existing systems and returns recommendations to your operators — the decision to act stays in the control room.
A read-only link to your DCS, SCADA and historian over OPC UA or MQTT, plus market and PPA metering feeds. Nothing is written back to plant equipment.
Weeks 1–6The model learns your facility: efficiency curves, ramp limits, minimum run times, stack baselines. Schedules are validated against actual operation before anyone relies on them.
Weeks 6–10The schedule re-solves every fifteen minutes across a thirty-six hour horizon. Operators see recommendations and alerts; the compliance record accumulates automatically.
From week 10Read-only by design. There is no path from GreenFuels Ops to plant actuation. Recommendations go to people; people act through the systems they already trust. A typical pilot runs three to six months from connection to contract.
Pricing
An annual subscription scaled to installed capacity. All four modules are included as they release; connection and calibration are part of the pilot.
Aligned with your result: the subscription carries a gain-share component on measured energy savings — we earn more only when the plant demonstrably saves more.
Availability
Process Optimization and Energy Market Integration, on pilot sites in the French clusters.
Stack condition begins shaping the schedule rather than interrupting it.
RED III reporting. The evidence chain becomes an export instead of a project.
For operators running several sites against one power position.
Hourly consumption and origin data is retained from the first day a site connects, regardless of which modules are active.
The company
GreenFuels Ops is headquartered in Île-de-France, with customer-facing teams in the hydrogen clusters where the facilities are. The founding team combines two decades of chemical plant operations with the financial discipline the sector's investors and public bodies expect.
Over twenty years in gas-based industry and chemical plant operations, most recently as Deputy Manager, GBI Operations at Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited. Ran methanol, fertilizer and petrochemical plants, and led a control-system retrofit that delivered 10 percent energy savings.
MBA in Finance, with experience in financial accounting, budgeting, tax compliance and reconciliation across multi-client portfolios as Accounting Manager at Profits Rank Ltd. Holds finance and the reporting discipline a company working with French public bodies has to demonstrate from day one.
Common questions
No. The connection is read-only by design — there is no path from GreenFuels Ops to plant actuation. The platform observes your DCS, SCADA and historian, and returns recommendations to operators, who act through the systems they already use.
Six to ten weeks from kick-off to a calibrated model, over standard industrial protocols — OPC UA or MQTT. A typical pilot then runs three to six months from connection to contract.
EPEX SPOT day-ahead and intraday at launch, alongside your PPA metering. The scheduler respects gate closures and re-solves every fifteen minutes across a rolling thirty-six-hour horizon.
Hourly consumption and origin records are retained from the first day a site connects — regardless of which modules are active. A plant that joins in 2027 arrives at January 2030 with years of hour-by-hour evidence already in hand, structured for RFNBO verification under Delegated Regulations 2023/1184 and 2023/1185.
An annual subscription scaled to installed capacity — from EUR 100,000 for sites under 25 MW to EUR 600,000 above 100 MW — with a gain-share on measured savings. At a 50 MW site, energy savings of EUR 1–2 million a year cover the subscription several times over, before counting the certification workload it removes.
PEM and alkaline facilities from 10 MW, single sites and multi-site portfolios. The model is calibrated to your stacks' actual efficiency curves and ramp limits during onboarding, not to a generic datasheet.
