Hydrogen

It is imperative that your organization has clear line of sight with respect to participation across the hydrogen value chain and the opportunities that exist for your firm. We help clients tackle important issues as they look to create value from investment in the hydrogen sector and develop new capabilities including:

1. What role should hydrogen play in the enterprise strategy
2. Whether you should be a leader in the sector or leverage learnings from others as a fast follower
3. Where value exists within the hydrogen value chain and how this might shift as the market matures
4. How to best leverage your internal capabilities and existing asset-base to best position yourself to success in the hydrogen sector

There is significant global momentum for hydrogen deployment but uptake will vary by region and there is uncertainty over the pace of development. There are considerations around organization design, developing capabilities and partnering strategies to consider to best take advantage of the opportunity. We have supported our clients through the creation of a strategic project management organization (PMO) within their organization to mobilize and take advantage of early opportunities within the hydrogen sector. We have also supported clients at the more discrete project-level to develop investment cases and construct commercial and partnership models to de-risk investments within the sector.

We provide expert-led subject matter support as you look to inorganic opportunities to grow your business within the hydrogen sector. We leverage our capabilities both within the hydrogen and broader energy sector to provide M&A support, technology and value chain assessments, financial and operational modelling of new opportunities, and policy and regulatory advice as you look to invest in new opportunities. We have also supported clients in regulatory proceedings regarding the development of hydrogen assets and provided expert input on project-level operational and financial forecasts.

We have developed proprietary market models to forecast hydrogen supply and demand at a regional level based on our sophisticated power and natural gas systems modeling suite. These have been used to support clients assess emissions associated with hydrogen production and determine policy implications for projects developed throughout the world.
