ClimateWorks Foundation is an NGO “on a mission to end the climate crisis by amplifying the power of philanthropy”. They aim at “accelerating climate solutions that scale” and finance projects over 50 countries worldwide.
Renewable or “green” hydrogen is among the solutions that help to tackle climate change, and our customer wanted to have an independent and fact-based analysis on multiple topics in relation to their mission.
We delivered 9 briefing sessions to ClimateWorks Foundation team, together with a report that we co-constructed with them. This 80-pages report is called "Unlocking the potential of green hydrogen" and was released in August 2024 (learn more). It contains the latest state-of-the-art on hydrogen technologies, industry, applications, market demand figures, policies, cost and also scale-up constraints. The analysis covers several regions of the world including North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania. It covers historical aspect but also includes projections by 2030 and 2050.
We developed 4 key topics in the main chapters of this report:
- Overview of the green hydrogen production pathways and technology maturity
- Regional considerations for green hydrogen - strategies, regulatory frameworks and industrial supply chain versus demand
- Hydrogen production and the demand for raw materials
- Green hydrogen's energy storage potential
And we also delivered side-analysis into annexes:
- Green Hydrogen's interaction with food systems
- Europe gas crisis propels green hydrogen
- Hydrogen's limits, cost competitiveness and risks
- Can hydrogen be as lucrative as oil & gas?
- Case study on hydrogen storage in the USA
Our hydrogen experts leveraged their knowledge and experience, as well as our internal databases, combined with specific desk research on these topics. They compiled information into executive briefing with the relevant links to bibliography. They presented the results to our customer through interactive webinars, with dedicated Q&A sessions to help them consolidate their understanding on these topics, but also put their philanthropic actions into a strategic.
