Hydrogen is an elementary component of the energy transition. It can replace fossil fuels in many areas and enables the import of energy over long distances as well as its temporary storage. The measures adopted by the EU and the framework of the "National Hydrogen Strategy" (NWS) enable and promote the ramp-up of a hydrogen economy by 2030.
For industrial customers, this offers an attractive opportunity to decarbonize production plants by connecting them to the hydrogen core network decided in October 2024.

plenum AG offers you tailor-made solutions for your company across all value creation stages of the hydrogen economy.
energy producer
description of the challenge
Energy producers must convert their production to CO2 neutral methods. This must happen in record time. Hydrogen enables both a stabilization of the feed-in and completely new sales channels for renewable energy.
use cases
- Stabilization of the grid feed-in & generation of additional revenues through the use of excess energy in electrolyzers - peak shaping
- Establishment of new sales channels for renewable energy through hydrogen sales
roadmap
our offer
- Development of a generation portfolio strategy 2030ff in coordination with a corresponding hydrogen storage strategy
- Development of a hydrogen production & sales strategy
- Regional and supra-regional analyses to determine the
- Market potential of renewable energy sources
- Search and evaluation of open spaces with regard to the implementation of PV and wind systems as well as electrolyzers and consumers of green hydrogen
- Support of the potential investor in the design of cooperation models (investor/agricultural land owner/H2 consumer)
- Advice on the size at which electrolysis plants for intermediate storage make sense
local and communal energy supplier
description of the challenge
The energy transition is challenging traditional corporate structures and demands innovative solutions to address emerging complexities. Energy generation is becoming increasingly decentralized and volatile, necessitating efficient storage and distribution systems. At the same time, CO2 neutrality is impacting core functions of municipal enterprises, such as waste management and urban cleaning services. To navigate these changes effectively, a comprehensive and integrated strategy is strongly recommended.
use cases
- Opportunity to expand the range of services: Strategic development to become a full-service provider
- Building block for municipal heat planning
- Hydrogen buses, waste collectors
our offer
- Assessment of the strategic and/or operational fit for your utility company in the hydrogen economy
- Definition of the product and sales strategy (B2C, B2B)
- Development of studies on market architecture and demand development
- Evaluation of the business case taking into account all
- Relevant framework parameters (technical/commercial/energy management)
