Blue Breadboard Company

- renewable energy and green hydrogen - 

Blue Breadboard Company is an agile provider of innovation and business development services 

in  Europe and  in emerging economies

We focus on practical solutions that make the transition towards scalability and commercialisation successful in the energy transition. Typical challenges are: how to bridge the financial gap and prepare for a different financial structure; how to effectively prepare the management; and how to design and implement ESG (environmental, socio-governance) measures from the start, or in the growth phase.

Our services are bespoke and often modular in approach

Key sectors: renewable energy (offshore wind, floating solar PV, blue energy) and green hydrogen

Electrification is surging ahead, where renewables outcompete other power sources. Solar PV and onshore- and especially offshore wind are rapidly becoming one of the cheapest power sources. With solar PV and wind becoming dominant in grid-connected power generation, connectivity at distribution- and transmission levels, interim storage and demand-response will be critical assets in the power systems. We (co-)develop and manage innovation programmes and project to address the challenges in these critical assets.

Green hydrogen (hydrogen produced by renewable electricity) has been recognized by the IPCC and within the EU as an important energy vector to deeply decarbonize the hard-to-abate sectors (such as in industry and heavy transport). Nearness between production and demand is the best option but challenging with green hydrogen. These challenges include large-scale renewable energy sourcing for green hydrogen production capacity and competitive costing, merging of different energy vectors, and technology optimisations in production and transport/transmission. We work in this compelling setting where we co-develop business solutions with the customers.
