Hydrogen Emerging Fuels

The imperative for profound decarbonization within the global energy landscape is escalating, driven by mandatory reductions in carbon emissions at national and regional levels.

The utilization of hydrogen as a pivotal energy intermediary stands out as a highly auspicious pathway for decarbonization, offering substantial environmental and economic advantages.

IMPAC Group's team of consultants has been instrumental in spearheading advancements in this arena across Europe and internationally.

We are poised to assist a diverse clientele, encompassing both public and private sectors, in comprehending and delineating the inherent potential, while offering in-depth perspectives on the burgeoning opportunities that lie ahead.

Technology Roadmaps
Our consultants have developed technology roadmaps to a decarbonized energy system based on local needs and policy drivers.

Techno-Economic Assessment
We can determine the costs and benefits of different strategic approaches to decarbonization or introduction of new gases such as hydrogen.

Technology Impact Assessments
Introduction of new gases to an existing network will lead to new requirements for end users as well as network and infrastructure operators. We can help you develop a complete understanding of the challenges and forge an in-depth technical solution.

Safety and Integrity Assessments
Are your assets ready for hydrogen? What are the implications for asset management and what actions do you need to take to guarantee that your networks can be adapted.

Network Planning
How are the new gases going to flow through and mix in the networks.
What are the implications for billing and metering?

Engineering studies, calculation and analysis.

Development of engineering documents and operating procedures.

Life Cycle and RAM analyses with optimized CAPEX and OPEX.

IMPAC Group's consultants and close affiliates have worked with the European Commission, the European standards agency, national governments and infrastructure operators and energy companies to provide technical, regulatory and economic analyses of the potential for introduction of hydrogen and decarbonized gasses into the energy system, from production through to end-use.

The regulatory framework under which the industry operates is subject to continuous change as local or national policies evolve to stay ahead of the market.

Our consultants have over many years been working with major clients globally to review and propose changes to regulatory frameworks. We have reviewed standards and worked alongside technical experts to revise and develop standards as new technologies such as hydrogen transportation are introduced.

IMPAC Consultants and those of our affiliates have over a decade been involved in-developing research and innovation frameworks and delivering research and development projects from small desktop feasibilities through to large demonstrators.
