Sustainable fuels offer a crucial opportunity to de-risk decarbonization journeys for hard-to-abate sectors like manufacturing, pulp & paper, healthcare, automotive, and chemicals, providing enhanced energy efficiency, reduced emissions, and cost optimization. These fuels, including bio-based options like biogas and biomethane, as well as e-fuels from green hydrogen and derivatives, play a vital role in applications such as green steel and ammonia production, high-grade heat, and heavy mobility.
The Challenge
The primary challenges hard-to-abate sectors face in transitioning to sustainable fuels include sourcing and availability issues in an emerging market, high upfront infrastructure and development costs that are often not clearly understood, technology and price evolution, technical compatibility hurdles with existing processes, the necessity of securing buy-in from stakeholders and navigating complex reporting landscapes and evolving regulatory frameworks.

ENGIE Impact’s sustainable fuel consultants empower clients in hard-to-abate sectors to navigate the complex shift toward green fuels. We offer strategic roadmaps encompassing technology evaluation, adoption timelines, and investment strategies as well as sourcing – including green gas guarantees of origin and gas purchase agreements. Specializing in green hydrogen, biogas, biomethane, biodiesel, e-fuels, and related areas, our services streamline value chain optimization to facilitate production, distribution, and adoption. We provide comprehensive assistance to producers by conducting market sizing to anticipate demand and economic evolution, while also ensuring regulatory compliance and optimizing incentives to expedite the transition to sustainable fuels and achieve decarbonization objectives.
Featured Consulting Solutions
Sustainable Fuels Strategy & Sourcing
We assist clients in navigating decarbonization options, evaluating whether green fuels are suitable decarbonization levers for them, considering factors such as technology costs and market evolutions. Additionally, we provide guidance to clients interested in entering the green fuels value chain, whether as consumers or potential producers or transporters.
Sustainable Aviation & Maritime Fuels
We support clients in quantifying their aviation or maritime-related emissions and navigate the sustainable fuel market, both for physical fuel purchases, as well as novel certificate based transactions for corporations seeking to reduce their Scope 3 business travel footprint.
Sustainable Fuels Valleys
We help clients set up and build momentum in alternative fuels (i.e. hydrogen, biomethane, e-fuels) hubs by creating transparency around potential off-take, determining infrastructure and investment needs, identifying anchor projects, and building momentum with hub stakeholders to accelerate the deployment of sustainable fuels.
