Hydrogen’s role in decarbonizing the Netherlands

It has become increasingly clear that hydrogen will be one of the cornerstones of our future energy system. Therefore businesses need to think about the implications as part of the broader impact of transitioning to net zero. What are the threats and opportunities?

A Future of Energy point of view on hydrogen

Renewable energy sources such as hydrogen are making inroads in our national energy mix and that progress is likely to continue. It’s not a matter of whether the Dutch renewable energy market will grow—it’s how fast and by how much. Increasingly, business leaders understand they need to get a grip on hydrogen to understand where the opportunities will be. However, with so much hype around hydrogen, it is difficult to keep an eye on the key trends and developments. Where will the transition to hydrogen unfold first, which supply technologies and distribution alternatives have the most potential and which geopolitical regions are best positioned?

Our point of view addresses those questions and offers recommendations to policymakers and companies on how to position themselves optimally for the accelerated transition to come. Read our point of view here.

Deloitte and hydrogen

Deloitte's member firms provide professional services to Energy, Resources & Industrial companies worldwide, and are market leaders in industry-tailored Consulting, Financial Advisory, Audit, and Tax services, with deep experience assisting clients across the wide spectrum of renewable technologies of solar, hydrogen, biofuels, and tidal, among others.

We assist our clients in developing and deploying renewable generation and provide services ranging from strategy to business case development, project structuring, modelling, capital project reviews, supply chain optimization, risk management, and M&A.

Energy, Resources & Industrial companies continue to capture the imagination of investors, entrepreneurs, and governments as challenges and concerns related to hydrogen present themselves. However, while the long-term drivers for renewable energy remain promising, the renewable energy industry is faced with many uncertainties and unknowns that create unique challenges. This is when Deloitte's insights can make all the difference.
