Your H₂ projects. Wisely conceived. WHySEly advised.

Hydrogen projects become complex when results are expected and the next steps are unclear. I make them decision-ready – and guide them into solid implementation.

Services

From idea to implementation – with 25 years of experience by your side

I support SMEs, municipal utilities and research consortia in the hydrogen economy – as interim project manager, PMO and strategic advisor. My work begins where strategy papers end: at the point where a project needs real leadership, clear structure and someone who takes responsibility.

My focus areas:

Strategy development – not sure whether hydrogen is the right path for you? I help you answer that question – based on 25 years of hands-on experience, at the plant, in the field, in the technology

  • Interim project management & PMO – when a project needs structure and leadership before it goes off track
  • H₂ roadmaps – tailored, actionable, free of theory for theory’s sake
  • EU funding logic – Horizon Europe, Clean Hydrogen Partnership, audit-proof documentation from day one
  • Sustainability management – ISO 14001, EMAS III, ESG, CSRD, VSME – integrated, not as an afterthought

Based in Bonn. Working across Europe.

Energy Law – Right here With Us

H₂ projects always have a legal dimension: permits, contracts, European regulatory frameworks. For questions of energy law – in Germany and at EU level – I work alongside an experienced expert in energy law. Strategy and law. From one source.

Why WHySE

No slide decks. No off-the-shelf solutions. No pitch.

Hydrogen projects rarely fail because of the technology. They fail because of unclear responsibilities, missing funding logic, underestimated complexity – or because no one keeps the overview when it matters most.

That is exactly where I come in.

I sit at the table with you – from the first question to the final signature. Independent, vendor-neutral, committed to seeing things through to the end. I don’t deliver concepts that end up in a drawer. I actively accompany projects: in governance, in communication with funding bodies, and in navigating technical and regulatory hurdles.

My clients are managing directors in SMEs who need strategic clarity. Technical leads in municipal utilities – particularly in smaller municipalities that cannot afford large consulting firms yet deserve professional guidance. And research consortia who need EU funding proposals that are watertight and audit-ready. What they share: they want a partner who listens before speaking – and who stays until the result is there.

Hydrogen is not an end in itself. It is a tool – for organisations that want to shape the transition before it shapes them.

Your next step

Stuck with your H₂ project?

Sometimes 45 minutes is all it takes to gain clarity – about the next step, the right funding strategy, or simply whether a project is as feasible as it feels. No pitch. No proposal. Just an open conversation.
