Advising clients in every major center of hydrogen activity
Renewable hydrogen and ammonia will become key energy sources in the transition to a cleaner, lower carbon economy, especially in applications that are not suited to electrification. We have market-leading experience advising on the development and financing of first of kind green hydrogen and ammonia projects around the globe.
Green hydrogen, ammonia and other renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFONBOs) will play an important role in the global energy mix and in the transition to net zero.
We are active across the full value chain. Our experience covers production of RFONBOs to end market users and includes the development and financing of production facilities and receiving terminals, feedstock supply and offtake arrangements, technology licensing, construction strategies, ancillary services, utilities supply, storage and shipping, and pipelines and other transportation arrangements.
