Hydrogen Prospect was founded in September of 2021 with one goal in mind – to help address the climate crisis by accelerating energy transition.
How are we going to achieve this goal? By focusing our efforts on one of the key links of the low carbon hydrogen value chain, hydrogen storage. How are we going to do it? By guiding our clients in development of an underground hydrogen storage caverns in salt domes and thick salt beds. Where are we planning to do this? The Netherlands, Germany, and other EU countries that meet the geologic requirements and offer favorable regulatory framework. How does Hydrogen Prospect add value to the market? By providing the knowledge to our clients necessary to develop clean hydrogen Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS). STaaS will ultimately benefit the clean hydrogen producers and consumers.
Based on our market analysis in the EU and globally, the large-scale, long-duration, fast-cycle hydrogen storage is in the blind spot of the energy transition and needs to be quickly addressed. The storage solutions at scale are required to balance and optimize the emerging supply and demand sides of hydrogen market. The low carbon hydrogen value chain, from production, through transport and storage, to end usage, has to be deployed to the market simultaneously for the energy transition to be successful. We believe that this should be a key area of interest for investors, energy policy makers, and hydrogen regulators globally.
Hydrogen Prospect is a Netherlands-based company focused on providing consulting and project management services related to development and operating of large-scale, long-duration, fast-cycle hydrogen underground storage assets in the EU. Hydrogen Prospect is a vibrant, passionate and dedicated team of energy professionals bringing over 100 years of combined world class operational, technical and commercial experience.
