Hydrogen technology

As a company offering hydrogen services, we are well-positioned to leverage our expertise and capitalize on the immense potential of this burgeoning market. With our in-depth knowledge and dedication to sustainable energy solutions, we are committed to spearheading the hydrogen revolution and shaping a greener tomorrow.

Our services in hydrogen include:

  • Feasibility & Techno-Economic Studies 
  • Life Cycle & Carbon Intensity Assessments 
  • Policy & Regulatory Navigation 
  • Hydrogen Derivatives 
  • Refueling Infrastructure & Mobility 
  • Energy System Integration 
  • Sustainable Mobility
  • Market Entry & Transaction Support 

Hydrogen projects typically move through the same broad stages, feasibility and techno-economic evaluation, regulatory and permitting strategy, and eventually infrastructure development and market entry, but the right sequence and priorities differ significantly depending on whether a client is producing, transporting, or using hydrogen. We help clients identify where they actually sit in that value chain before recommending next steps, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all hydrogen roadmap.

Our work authoring the Alberta Hydrogen Refueling Station Guidebook for the Government of Alberta gives us direct insight into how regulators think about hydrogen infrastructure permitting, which carries over into how we help developers and operators prepare applications that anticipate regulator concerns rather than react to them after the fact.

What stages does a hydrogen project typically go through?

Hydrogen projects generally move through feasibility and techno-economic assessment, regulatory and permitting review, and infrastructure development or market entry, though the priorities at each stage differ depending on whether the project involves production, transport, storage, or end use.

Does Solas Energy work on hydrogen refueling infrastructure specifically?

Yes. Solas Energy authored the Alberta Hydrogen Refueling Station Guidebook, commissioned by the Government of Alberta, and supports refueling infrastructure and mobility projects as part of our broader hydrogen advisory services.

What industries does Solas Energy’s hydrogen work span?

Our hydrogen work spans renewable energy integration, refining, fertilizer, and transportation, reflecting hydrogen’s role as both an industrial input and an emerging transport fuel.

Does Solas Energy assess carbon intensity for hydrogen projects?

Yes, life cycle and carbon intensity assessments are part of our hydrogen services, helping clients understand and document the emissions profile of a proposed hydrogen production or use case.

Hydrogen Market Entry Assessments

Solas Energy conducted market assessments for hydrogen and ammonia production, storage, and export opportunities. Our work included regulatory reviews, techno-economic analysis, and carbon intensity modeling, giving clients the insight needed to position themselves in emerging hydrogen markets.

Alberta Hydrogen Refueling Station Guidebook

Solas Energy authored the Alberta Hydrogen Refueling Station Guidebook, commissioned by the Government of Alberta. The guidebook outlines permitting, codes, standards, and best practices for deploying hydrogen refueling stations, helping regulators, developers, and operators navigate a complex landscape.
