About Phoenix Energy

Energy is at the heart of human activity, from the most basic to the most sophisticated. It is also the real economic motor of our society. In the past there was a belief that our energy needs would be met by abundant petroleum and nuclear power. Reality has caught up with us; finite fossil fuels have passed their peak, they are more and more expensive, and we are at last becoming conscious of the disastrous environmental effects their uncontrolled exploitation is having on our planet and ourselves.

Energy transition therefore is an absolute necessity. It must be based on real sustainable resources, both clean and renewable. Wind, solar, geothermal and hydro, are the only primary sources of clean and renewable energy. And electricity is the best medium with which these sources can be used. Electricity as a medium is flexible, and easily applied, but has one major inconvenience: efficient high volume storage.

Another energy carrier exists that doesn’t have the inconvenience of electricity, works well in synergy with it, and has a very high energy density: hydrogen. Useable in gas or liquid form it can serve as an energy store via water electrolysis and fuel cell technology. H2 is the most abundant molecule in the universe. It is present in water, hydrocarbons and other gases. Today these sources are unused. Hydrogen can also be produced from natural gas or Bio-Methane, This process can yield valuable food grade liquid carbon dioxide. Hydrogen can play a decisive role in our energy transition, and is probably the most promising vector for the decades to come.

Phoenix Energy was created with the desire to assist policy and decision makers in understanding and acting on the hydrogen issue. With a core of senior experts and consultants, Phoenix Energy has developed a pan European network of specialists in hydrogen energy and fuel cell applications. Phoenix Energy offers hydrogen sector strategy and finance model advice, technology and economic updates and innovation

How we can Help

Achieve your clean energy goals

While hydrogen fuel is growing in popularity across many markets, understanding commercial viability, designing the right generation solutions, and driving its uptake within the broader energy landscape can be a challenge.

With decades of experience defining, and managing energy, transport, and other complex
infrastructure initiatives all over the world, we bring a unique perspective on how alternative fuels like hydrogen can be delivered and integrated for commercial and environmental success. Integrating Hydrogen generation together with traditional clean energy solutions can often be the perfect solution
