Building new value chains, starting with 'proof of concept' and strong stakeholder engagement – that is what drives us. We understand the complexity of transitions and know how to bring market, government, innovations, business cases, technology and policy together. In each of our focus fields — energy transition, feedstock transition, circularity and climate adaptation – we have developed and initiated programmes with a multitude of partners from business, government and society. Examples include the boosting of sustainable heat projects in eg the Amsterdam metropolitan area, CO2 as a feedstock for future proof industry, market for re-use of solar panels and developing international hydrogen value chains.
&flux initiated several international hydrogen value propositions, like an industrial hydrogen import chain between North Africa and the Netherlands.
In Estonia we established the hydrogen strategy for Port of Tallinn. Through cooperation with business and government partners we kick-started the build of a new economic proposition with Port of Tallinn as the central node in the hydrogen ecosystem. We extended this into a hydrogen action perspective for the Estonian aviation cluster. Recently, we started to explore a joint collaboration platform and hydrogen strategy for Klaipeda (port, municipality and FEZ) region in Lithuania. The ultimate goal of these projects is to enable companies and governments to establish hydrogen projects along the full value chain. In the Netherlands, &flux initiated and is leading the H2Makers platform (www.h2makers.nl), connecting entrepreneurs, corporates, education institutions, experts, governments and suppliers for the hydrogen manufacturing industry.
