dedicated to taking advantage of the
opportunities offered by hydrogen for
enabling the energy transition

Unique independent expertise

The opportunities offered by hydrogen and fuel cell technologies concern numerous components 
of the energy system as a whole and lie mainly in :

Integration of renewable energy

 

in the context of the on-going 
transformation of the energy market 
(Power-to-H2, Power-to-gas, biogas)

Provision to the transport sector

of a clean, decarbonated, and readily 
storable energy carrier (i.e. hydrogen
 distribution and refueling stations for 
fuel cell electric vehicles).

Distributed generation

of combined heat and power (by means
of stationary fuel cells).

Fields of support

 

Strategy

  • Evaluation of the opportunities offered by
    hydrogen technologies with regards to
    strategic objectives, and identification of the
    conditions that need to be created for their
    materialization
  • Strategic road mapping and identification of
    critical choices.

Innovation

  • Evaluation of new technologies and
    development road maps
  • Formulation of questions requiring the
    engagement of R&D activities; steering of the
    latter.

Projects

  • Evaluation of the opportunities offered by
    hydrogen technologies with regards to
    strategic objectives, and identification of the
    conditions that need to be created for their
    materialization
  • Strategic road mapping and identification of
    critical choices.

Advancement of standards and
policy framework

  • Evaluation of new technologies and
    development road maps
  • Formulation of questions requiring the
    engagement of R&D activities; steering of the
    latter.

H2Nova provides its expertise to industry players (operators, solution providers), investors,
local and regional authorities, public bodies involved with the energy transition, and research
bodies interested in taking advantage of these opportunities.

Skills and expertise

 

Frederic Barth provides unique expertise, know-how and perspective derived from 24
years of experience in the expansion or enhancement of industrial gas supply chains, in
particular that of Hydrogen, in positions combining operational and technological
development responsibilities, with the last 10 years dedicated to the development of
hydrogen as an energy carrier, with a specific focus in the last 5 years on international
standardization led in conjunction with collaborative research, as well as prominent
action in industry associations and advocacy in the European framework.

 

His field of expertise covers more specifically :

  • The role of hydrogen for the transformation of the energy system as a whole

  • Hydrogen technologies (in particular production, storage and distribution) and their implementation for the Energy Transition

  • The development of collaborative demonstration projects

  • International standardization in strategic support of innovation

  • Development and steering of collaborative research activities

  • Steering of “technology push” innovation, including industrialization

Hydrogen, a key energy carrier for the energy
transition

The energy transition, which aims to phase-out fossil energies through
their replacement by renewables, including in the transport sector, entails
a massive use of solar and wind power, that only the implementation of a
new energy carrier, hydrogen, can make possible.
Indeed, hydrogen – in association with fuel cells – allows the feeding in
excellent conditions of energy to the transport sector, which as a result
becomes an adaptable outlet for renewable electricity from intermittent
sources, providing an unmatchable source of flexibility for maintaining the
balance of the electrical grid.
