working on new decarbonization pathways
Food & Beverage
Steam, power, and Logistics
Decarbonization in the food and beverage industry is a complex challenge. A typical food and beverage plant touches several elements of the decarbonization pathway. Low-heat applications and dispatch power require a low-cost energy supply to become viable for decarbonization. Logistics from the production plant to the point of sale often contribute substantially to the carbon footprint of the end product. Together with our clients, we work on projects that demonstrate an economically viable decarbonization pathway. The journey to Net-Zero emissions must be modular and scalable, lowering the carbon footprint over time, while building new technology skills to future-proof traditional business models.
Industry & Manufacturing
heat applications
Lowering the carbon footprint of high-heat applications requires hydrogen-ready industrial hardware and equipment. Decarbonization has to scale. Therefore, new CAPEX expenditures must enable renewable energy supply and infrastructure that goes beyond a first hydrogen pilot. Even small-scale electrolyzer installations can be very costly, typically without a clear pathway for sourcing renewable electricity at prices that would enable an economically viable decarbonization solution for most industrial sites in Europe. Therefore, efficient energy supply logistics and on-site renewable energy storage are focal points of our consulting and engineering practice. As an example, we are working with clients in the glass and ceramics industry to enable their fuel-switching to low-carbon sources while leveraging existing infrastructure and plant equipment.
Transport & Mobility
Hydrogen as a transport fuel
We have a long experience in transport and mobility applications. We were deeply involved in building one of the first hydrogen refueling stations (HRS) in Europe. We are also connected to the engineering and development of the first mass-produced hydrogen vehicle, the Toyota Mirai. Today, we are offering some of the lowest-cost hydrogen fuel solutions for cars, trucks, and buses. Fuel cells (FC) and hydrogen internal combustion engines (ICE) are both technologically mature and viable applications in our decarbonization offering. This offer includes a standalone solution for a growing fleet of delivery trucks, city buses, and taxi fleets. But we also offer more integrated solutions where industrial businesses use synergies from on-site heat and power applications, extending to transport applications.
