Technology Stack

The clean industrial energy stack.

Six integrated technology layers, orchestrated as one operating system for heavy industry.

In one paragraph

What is the GGSN technology stack?

Six clean-industrial technology layers — AI-VPP, BESS, low-carbon hydrogen, digital twins, grid flexibility and carbon intelligence — running on one data model. Together they let heavy industry lower energy cost, unlock grid revenues, meet CBAM MRV obligations and finance decarbonisation with a single set of assumptions.

AI-VPP

Virtual power plant optimisation, industrial load flexibility, demand response, predictive dispatch and grid services.

BESS

Peak shaving, grid revenue stacking, industrial resilience and clean power integration.

Digital twins

Industrial energy simulation, emissions modelling, project-finance assumptions, asset performance and scenario planning.

Answers

Technology — frequently asked questions

What is an AI-VPP (AI virtual power plant)?
An AI virtual power plant aggregates and optimises distributed industrial loads, on-site generation and battery storage as a single grid-facing asset. GGSN's AI-VPP layer runs predictive dispatch, demand response and ancillary-service bidding to lower energy cost and unlock flexibility revenues.
How does BESS create value for heavy industry?
Battery energy storage systems stack multiple revenue streams — peak shaving, grid ancillary services, capacity market payments and integration of on-site renewables — while providing industrial resilience against price spikes and interruptions.
Why is low-carbon hydrogen strategic for green steel?
Hydrogen replaces coking coal in Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) routes, cutting steelmaking emissions by around 90%. GGSN's hydrogen layer aligns production and offtake with the UK Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement (LCHA), Contracts for Difference and green-steel demand.
What does a digital twin do in an industrial decarbonisation context?
A digital twin simulates energy flows, embedded emissions, asset performance and project-finance assumptions before capital is committed, so operators can test CBAM, hydrogen and BESS scenarios against real plant data.
How does the carbon intelligence layer support CBAM compliance?
It captures product-level embedded emissions, verifies data against MRV rules and traces supply-chain carbon, so operators can report to CBAM authorities and defend the carbon content of exports to the EU.
Do these technologies work independently or as one stack?
They are engineered to run as one orchestrated stack. AI-VPP, BESS, hydrogen, grid flexibility, digital twins and carbon intelligence share the same data model, so a change in one layer updates emissions, revenues and capital cases everywhere.
