Nohm Atlas

One map.
Five systems.

Atlas is the geographic operating surface for Nohm: network reality, land context and model outcomes in one place.

Network intelligence

Five systems. One living map.

Electricity, methane, water, energy liquids and logistics remain distinct, while their dependencies become visible.

The substrate / From geography to a model

The part that takes years,
and makes the rest possible.

Atlas brings five infrastructure systems into view. The modelling substrate connects four energy carriers, the resolution of a study and the climate assumptions behind it.

01 / Connected carriers

Four carriers,
modelled together.

Electricity, hydrogen, methane and synthetic fuels, with the interactions between them represented rather than approximated. An electrolyser is a load, a flexibility asset and a hydrogen source at once — the model needs to account for all three.

Cross-carrier coupling

Conversion, storage and transport modelled across carriers in one solve.

Sector coupling

Residential, buildings, transport and industry down to end-use.

Energy carriers

Electricity

Hydrogen

Methane

Synthetic fuels

Choose the level of detail per study, with the connections between carriers kept in view.

02 / Resolution

Granularity you choose,
per study.

Explore Europe at one node per country, then take the same scenario down to unit level where the answer actually turns. Granularity is a property of the run, not a fork of the model — the coarse and fine answers stay comparable.

Build from the map

Draw a geography, set a granularity and build the model section around the question.

Model organisms

Combine, mutate, graft and reproduce scenarios rather than copying folders.

Granularity

Continental
1 node / country
Zonal
bidding zones
Nodal
unit by unit

Start wide. Add detail where the decision depends on it.

03 / Climate assumptions

Climate as a dimension,
not a footnote.

Multiple climate years from PECD — onshore wind, offshore wind, hydro inflow and temperature profiles — with historical coverage plus SSP2-4.5 forward trajectories.

Test the dry year and the still year alongside the average. Keep climate assumptions attached to the scenario so differences in the results can be explained.

Wind

Onshore & offshore profiles

Hydro

Inflow by catchment

Temperature

Heating & cooling demand

SSP2-4.5

Forward trajectories

Atlas is a decision environment, not merely a map.
