Description
A green hydrogen developer needed Title V air permits and a credible process safety case to reach final investment decision. We introduced specialist permitting counsel and safety engineers and provided independent assurance on the dossier.

Blocker
Unclear permitting path for electrolyser and compression systems, community concerns and the need for a bankable safety case.

Mandate
Secure required air permits, deliver a regulator ready process safety file and align with investors and offtakers.

What we did

Introduced air permitting specialists and process safety experts with electrolyser experience.

Built an approvals roadmap, schedule and evidence list for submissions to state regulators.

Coordinated hazard studies and consequence analysis and embedded findings into design controls.

Worked with a regulated partner for any capital introductions while we remained the introducer and curator.

Outcome
Permits granted with clear operating conditions, safety case accepted by counterparties and offtake negotiations advanced. Project moved to final investment decision on schedule.
