CASE STUDY

Hydrogen, EV

Innovative hydrogen production & storage solution route-to-market and strategic partnerships

The challenge

A world leading OEM and its technology development partners were in the late stages of commercialising a unique technology to produce & transport hydrogen at an industrial scale.

 

While understanding global macro-trends regarding hydrogen growth as an alternative to natural gas, they were struggling to identify the correct regional market segment to enter. They also needed a go to market strategy to leverage increased industry interest in the hydrogen economy.

Our approach

Working with the client’s technical and commercial teams, we spent time to articulate the technology features, limitations and value propositions - focusing on understanding what made the technology unique and how it was differentiated from competitors and alternative solutions.

 

Based on this, we developed a market engagement program to obtain feedback from potential end-user groups, gauge commercial opinions from potential partners and define the first project blueprint.

Key activities

  • Regional hydrogen development landscape assessment - including identification of market participants, local supply chains and technology end-users, with the purpose of providing our client with an early indication of potential partners and the local business environment​.

 

  • Competitor technology review - including large innovators and suppliers of hydrogen generation equipment, to assist our client to identify the market gap and the unique selling points (USPs) of their product.
