Low-emission transformation & alternative fuels

From strategy to implementation.

We support clients in creating and implementing the low-carbon transition

We work at the intersection of EU and national regulations, as well as investment and market realities: hydrogen (RFNBO and low-emission), biomethane/biogas, e-fuels and derivatives (e-methanol, green ammonia), infrastructure, and logistics. Our approach is "market-driven": we not only assess compliance but also ensure feasibility – in contracts, documentation, procedures, and preparing organizations for audits/reporting.

LOW-EMISSION TRANSITION & ALTERNATIVE FUELS

We operate as part of the team

We combine regulatory, contractual, and investment perspectives to ensure projects are implementable in the current market and legal environment.

Scenarios + risk + decision

We develop pathways (RFNBO/low-carbon/biogas/biomethane/e-fuels), showing regulatory, cost and contractual implications.

"Paper to plant"

We translate requirements (certification, additionality, temporal or geographic correlation, emission reductions) into contracts, processes and evidentiary checklists.

Contracts as the backbone of the project

We develop cooperation and settlement models (offtake, environmental attributes, quality/parameter risks, force majeure, change of law).

End-to-end regulatory implementations

Implementation plan + documentation + training + consistency testing + post-implementation adjustments.

Regulatory readiness

Preparation for audits and consistency of "evidence" in the chain
deliveries (tracking/certification).

Support in obtaining support mechanisms

Designing the project to meet the requirements of programs and instruments (including the proposed CfD/Auction as a Service for hydrogen).

LOW-EMISSION TRANSITION & ALTERNATIVE FUELS

Scope of support and Products

RFNBO and low-carbon hydrogen (production, trade, use)

  • Compliance and qualification: RFNBO vs low-carbon (emission reduction requirements, electricity criteria, certification)
  • Business models: auto-production vs. turnover, warehousing and distribution (roles and responsibilities)
  • Contracts: off-take/off-network sales and deliveries, product quality, liability, pricing mechanisms, force majeure, contract termination
  • Infrastructure projects and feasibility for industry: direct transport issues (e.g., pipelines to plants) and implementation barriers

Biomethane/biogas and other alternative fuels

  • Contracting models (BPA/offtake) and environmental attributes and accounting for low-carbon features
  • Connections, access to infrastructure, direct gas pipelines – regulations and agreements (where applicable)
  • Sustainability and traceability criteria in the supply chain

E-fuels and derivatives (e-methanol, green ammonia) – regulations + contracts

  • Product qualification and regulatory regime (including energy dependency and emission reduction)
  • Contracts for supply and use in industry/value chains (quality, performance, responsibility, evidence)

Regulations and competitiveness instruments for energy-intensive industries

  • Support in the "narrative and compliance” around low emissions/carbon footprint (national mix risks vs. installation/contract data)
  • Consulting on infrastructure solutions that improve competitiveness (e.g. direct line, one-stop-shop, predictable procedures – strongly emphasized in industry materials)
  • Support for modernisation/decarbonisation projects (CAPEX and "frozen investments" issues, procedural barriers and the need for demand mechanisms)

Lead markets and the "low-carbon demand" (industry)

  • Advice on the use of demand mechanisms and "Made in EU / union origin" criteria (including implications for support schemes and public purchasing)
  • Support in aligning projects with market requirements for low-carbon products (steel/cement/aluminum)

Regulatory implementations

  • Analysis of the impact of legal changes on the business model, contracts and operational processes
  • Implementation strategy (schedule, roles, checklists, evidence trail)
  • Implementation training and consistency testing (documents–data–practice)

Training and workshops

We build the competencies of teams

Regulatory compliance

Regulatory compliance for RFNBO hydrogen production (including electricity criteria, temporal/geographic correlation, certification).

Operational training

Trading in hydrogen and its derivatives: licensing, contract structures, contract case studies.

Operational training

Renewable gases (hydrogen and derivatives/biogas/biomethane): barriers to development, connections, direct gas pipeline, support for renewable energy sources.

Clear rules of Cooperation

Common priorities

We set tasks together with the client's business and operational teams, focusing on issues that require a quick response and are important for business continuity.

Direct communication channels

We tailor our collaboration to the client's preferences and needs. We are available both remotely and on-site – during meetings, workshops, and on-site visits. We prioritize direct contact, efficient communication, and the absence of unnecessary barriers.
