Structure an early hydrogen opportunity around its power assumptions, operating case and unanswered commercial questions.
01
Define the customer and project boundary.
Capture the location, intended product and approximate scale. Clarify what the hydrogen concept is meant to serve before developing a supply proposition.
Ask first: What exactly are we proposing to develop?
02
Your plant has to live through an operating year.
A nameplate rating leaves a lot unanswered. H2Hub models 8,760 hours to examine electrolyser utilisation, part-load operation and curtailment.
Power, water and hydrogen costs are calculated together in one model — every price shows its source, date and confidence.
Ask next: When will power be available to make hydrogen?
03
Interrogate the electricity assumptions.
Look at the power-price basis used in the economic case. A published benchmark does not establish a customer tariff or a contracted supply arrangement.
Ask next: Which assumption would I want to verify first?
Published H2Hub worked example · modelled demonstration
Next question: can an indicative power agreement and vendor-confirmed operating limits support a better case?
One representative weather year; coordinate-derived modelled data, not site measurements. Cost basis includes $55/MWh power paid on electricity used, with curtailed output unpaid, and approximately $1,100/kW installed electrolyser-system capex. This is an example, not a prediction for your project.Inspect published examples and assumptions ↗
H2Hub distinguishes benchmarks and modelled inputs from stronger project evidence. Its intelligence methodology also documents source checks and how conflicting data is handled.
Ask next: What evidence would make this result more credible?
05
The base case is only the opening argument.
The stress-test stage challenges the economic case as assumptions change. Use it to explore risk before treating a favourable starting result as a decision.
Ask next: What could move this project from promising to problematic?
06
Build a validation agenda.
Identify the power, equipment and buyer questions to investigate next. Use the roadmap to organise the discussion, not to imply regulatory or commercial approval.
Ask next: What do we need to learn before spending more?
07
You can evaluate the fit with a real concept.
Your first full project and pre-feasibility report are free, with no credit card required. Start there and see whether the workflow helps you ask better questions.
Your next step: Bring one project idea. Begin with what you know.
A practical place to start
Before the next commitment, test the concept.
Put one hydrogen idea through H2Hub. Use what you learn to shape the next conversation.

Before you begin
A few reasonable questions.
Can I start with an early idea?
Yes. Begin with a project name, country and location. The guided process helps structure the concept as you add information.
Is this a completed engineering feasibility study?
No. H2Hub provides pre-feasibility decision support. Independent engineering, permitting and due diligence remain separate work.
Is there a payment commitment to start?
The first full project and report are free with no credit card required. Check H2Hub’s current terms before choosing a paid plan.
Where will the “Start free” button take me?
To H2Hub’s live project setup at h2hub.reneenergy.com/start-project.
Does a favourable model guarantee a viable project?
No. Results depend on inputs and evidence. Use them to identify questions to validate through further development and professional review.
H2Hub provides analytical project-development support. Models are preliminary estimates and do not replace independent engineering, permitting, lender due diligence or professional advice. Actual results may differ. Diagrams and checklist are conceptual illustrations.
