Blue Breadboard Company

- energy transition services - 

Blue Breadboard Company is an agile provider of energy transition 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 (solar PV, offshore solar, onshore & offshore wind, ocean energy) and green hydrogen

Electrification is surging ahead, where renewables outcompete other power sources. Solar PV and wind - onshore and especially offshore - are rapidly becoming one of the cheapest power sources. With solar PV and wind becoming dominant in grid-connected power generation, interim storage and demand-response will be critical assets in power systems. The ancillary market is another key component in these systems. 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 - both in capacity alignment and in competitive costing.

Our strength lays in merging these different energy vectors and optimizing components in complex power systems. With deep engineering knowledge we focus on the economic and financial challenges. We co-develop business solutions with the customers a/o we (co-)develop and manage related innovation programmes and projects.
