Offtake assessment
Identifying and confirming a named industrial buyer within an economic distance.
A named industrial buyer close enough to reach economically. Hydrogen is expensive to store and to move, so a plant without a committed consumer nearby is a stranded asset. This question fails more hydrogen projects than every technical issue combined, and it is answerable first.
What this includes
- Industrial hydrogen consumer mapping in the region
- Current supply source and cost for each consumer
- Volume and reliability requirement
- Distance and transport cost modelling
- Willingness to contract assessment
- Recommendation including the recommendation not to proceed
- What you receiveOutput
- Offtake assessment with named buyers, volumes and distances
- When you need itTiming
- Before anything else. If this fails, stop here.
Assuming demand will appear. Projects built on projected regional demand have repeatedly finished with no buyer at the gate.
Delivered by our own team together with vetted specialist partners and, where the question needs it, a named member of our expert bench. We tell you who is doing the work before the engagement starts.
