Case Study: SGN accelerates hydrogen network development with Optioneer from Continuum Industries

SGN routes 1,100+ km of hydrogen pipelines in 3 months with Continuum Industries

SGN, a gas network operator, faced the significant challenge of planning a large-scale hydrogen pipeline network. The project involved assessing over 1,100km of potential routes while navigating a wide range of environmental, technical, and safety constraints. To facilitate this strategic assessment and optimize their resources, SGN and their partner Wood employed Continuum Industries and its Optioneer platform.

Using Optioneer, Continuum Industries enabled the team to develop and analyze the entire network route in just three months, a process that traditionally took much longer. The solution identified 8 trunk line options and allowed for rapid iterations and real-time adjustments. The measurable impact was substantial: resource time was reduced from a projected 216 FTE days to just 72, and the time for a major route change dropped from 32 days to under two hours.
