Hydrogen Project Concept Development
From Concept to Viable Hydrogen Project
Hydrogen and Power-to-X projects require the integration of multiple complex systems, including renewable electricity supply, electrolysis technology, storage, transport infrastructure and potential off-take markets.
Without a structured concept development phase, projects may face technical constraints, infrastructure limitations or unfavorable economics that only become apparent later in development.
Voltares supports the development of a structured project concept combining technical system analysis to identify feasible project configurations and suitable development pathways; providing a solid foundation for further project development, investment evaluation and stakeholder engagement.
Tools
Definition of hydrogen production concept including electrolysis configuration and potential applications.
Identification of suitable renewable electricity sources and supply models.
Evaluation of potential off-take markets, industrial uses, or Power-to-X pathways.
Initial evaluation of production costs, system sizing and economic feasibility.
Definition of development phases, milestones and implementation pathways.

Track Record
Over 16 years of experience in wind energy consulting and project development, covering site feasibility assessments, wind resource analysis, turbine layout optimisation, technical planning and permitting support. He has contributed to the development of five wind parks across all project phases, including the preparation of five technical planning submissions with Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA/UVE) coordination, and has carried out around 30 wind farm layout and design studies. His work includes wind modelling and terrain analysis using WindPRO, WindSim, QGIS and AutoCAD, with project experience across Europe.
