Digital solutions help Toyota incorporate
sustainable fuel generation
Global software and technology leader Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and
Toyota Australia have collaborated to transform part of Toyota
Australia’s operations into a commercial-grade hydrogen production,
storage and refueling plant. The project, supported by the
Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), adopts Emerson’s
automation expertise to provide the control system that helps
Toyota Australia demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility
of manufacturing hydrogen fuels, including the use of renewable
solar energy.
As low and zero-emission vehicles capture an ever-greater share
of the market, countries around the globe need to expand access to
renewable fuels like hydrogen. Sustainable hydrogen projects are
challenging because they need to integrate many data sources into
one balance-of-plant system, a process that’s critical for a
facility’s success. For the Toyota Australia Hydrogen Center,
Emerson’s advanced DeltaV™ distributed control system gathers data
from the plant’s complex equipment, making it easier to monitor
production and storage of hydrogen gas and document and validate
the sustainability of operations.
“By incorporating a digital automation foundation to eliminate
data silos, Toyota Australia can not only significantly reduce
costs, but also gain greater visibility into system performance,
making it easier to maintain and report sustainability performance
and increase productivity,” said Mark Bulanda, executive president
of Emerson’s Automation Solutions business. “The data foundation
Toyota has built will make it faster and easier for like-minded
companies to replicate success as hydrogen refueling networks
continue to expand across the continent and the globe.”
Emerson’s DeltaV systems control operations for optimal
production efficiencies and help ensure safe operations. Edge
control technology from Emerson’s PACSystems™ will further reduce
cost and complexity of integrating third-party systems. Rosemount™
flame detectors will help keep personnel and operations safe. The
Toyota Australia team took advantage of pre-existing configuration
libraries to reduce setup time. In addition, Emerson’s technologies
create a platform to add future remote operations and data
analytics more easily and cost effectively.
