Efficient approval processes are key to the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy

The successful ramp-up of the hydrogen economy does not depend solely on technological innovations or a willingness to invest. Efficient and legally sound authorisation processes are just as crucial.

We’re here to support you. We offer targeted, legally sound advice. Get in touch now.

Legal certainty and efficiency for your hydrogen project

Our expertise as a catalyst for your processes

The hydrogen economy is regarded as a key pillar of the energy and industrial transition. Hydrogen can help to decarbonise energy-intensive industries, enable the storage of renewable energy, and accelerate the transformation of energy, mobility and infrastructure systems. However, the success of this transformation does not depend solely on technological innovations or a willingness to invest. Efficient and legally certain approval processes are just as crucial.

This is because even technically mature projects can only realise their full potential if planning, approval and implementation are closely coordinated. Short processing times, clear requirements and the early involvement of all relevant stakeholders lay the foundations for the successful market roll-out of hydrogen technologies.

As an independent partner for engineering services and consultancy, DMT supports companies, infrastructure operators, energy suppliers and the public sector in the planning and implementation of complex hydrogen projects.

Our H2 expertise to ensure your project runs smoothly!

Efficient approval processes provide planning certainty for investors, project developers and plant operators. They reduce project risks and enable infrastructure projects to be implemented more quickly across the entire hydrogen value chain. DMT supports you with its H2.Permit consultancy service to ensure compliance with legal requirements and avoid unnecessary delays:

  • We provide you with information on which permits are necessary and which can be avoided.
  • In consultation with the relevant authorities, we optimise site and time schedules.
  • For concrete proposals, we draw up the necessary documents for approval and handle the entire permit application process.
  • If no concepts are available, all relevant documents for approval can be drawn up as part of a comprehensive planning process culminating in a permit application.
  • We research and apply for suitable funding.

How DMT is accelerating hydrogen projects

In projects, it is often necessary to take into account not only technical aspects such as plant safety, explosion protection, grid connections, storage technologies or the repurposing of existing infrastructure, but above all requirements under legislation relating to pollution control, building regulations, environmental protection, water management and health and safety at work. The challenge for project managers lies in identifying these requirements at an early stage and integrating them efficiently into project planning. It is precisely here that there is significant potential to accelerate hydrogen projects.

Thanks to a combination of engineering expertise, regulatory know-how and many years’ experience in permitting and infrastructure projects, DMT supports projects from the initial concept right through to commissioning.

Our services include:

  • Permit strategies and project roadmaps
  • Regulatory engineering and stakeholder management
  • Support with application and authorisation documentation
  • Environmental and risk assessments
  • Safety and explosion protection concepts
  • Technical due diligence
  • Site and feasibility analyses
  • Infrastructure and route planning
  • Support with planning and approval procedures
  • Technical consultancy during implementation

As part of the TÜV NORD GROUP, DMT also benefits from a strong international network and extensive experience gained from challenging infrastructure, energy and industrial projects.

Feasible pathways to hydrogen applications!

Shaping the hydrogen economy together

The transition to a climate-neutral industry requires in-depth knowledge, interdisciplinary collaboration and robust technical solutions. As an independent partner, DMT supports companies in the development and implementation of hydrogen projects across the entire value chain.
