Ramboll Introduces Holistic Approach to Sustainable Engineering and Green Hydrogen Projects at Conference

Christian Wolff and Lawrence Green, senior consultants at Ramboll, present their company's approach to sustainability-focused engineering projects. They introduce Ramboll as an independent Danish consultancy with a mission to create sustainable societies emphasizing technical expertise combined with local and global knowledge. Established in 1945, the firm is employee-owned and operates globally across various sectors including energy, transport, buildings, water management, environment & health issues. Ramboll's holistic project strategy integrates multiple disciplines within its team—such as engineers, architects, landscape architects—and offers services from early feasibility studies through commissioning phases. Particularly focusing on Power2X (PTX) and hydrogen projects since 2020—with over 170 successful endeavors—their work spans upstream to midstream project development stages. A significant trend noted by both speakers is the shift towards front-loading efforts in planning rather than execution phases due to increasing stakeholder involvement. Sustainability declarations made by companies are scrutinized for actual implementation impacting local communities socially and environmentally. Additionally, they emphasize considering comprehensive factors like regulations and regional value creation during site selection for effective project progression.

Talk of session: The European State of Play in the Emerging Hydrogen Sector

The hydrogen economy starts to take form. Prompted by the industry, policymakers have responded by establishing the hydrogen bank, securing initial contracts for differences, a start to be continued, highlighting at the same time the urgent need for a new European infrastructure. The European Hydrogen Backbone is an initiative to think European and allow regions to act locally, bringing together the full play. However, change is implmented by people, and this new sector of the economy demands skilled workforce. The hydrogen academy aims at offering transition paths to this new promising sector.
