Hydrogen Lawyers

View All Industries

With a deep expertise in the oil & gas and renewable energy industries, and the various governmental regulatory and subsidy tools that governments can use to further their energy policies, Curtis is ideally-positioned to advise clients in every step of the hydrogen value chain – from production to end use. In the context of the energy transition, hydrogen is emerging as a solution to decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors, including fertilizers, cement, steel, international shipping, and long-haul transportation.

Curtis has a track-record of delivering “first-of-their-kind” projects in many jurisdictions, including projects that involve the deployment of new technologies and highly technical projects – closely collaborating with experts across fields. We offer clients innovative and pragmatic solutions that adapt existing structures and contracts to local financial and regulatory needs and requirements.

Strategic Advice on Clean Hydrogen Projects

Because the hydrogen industry has infrastructure financing, siting, and regulatory requirements analogous to those in the hydrocarbons industry, as well as a similar supply chain, we can leverage our market-leading capabilities in the oil & gas industry to assist governments, sponsors, investors, lenders, offtakers, and other relevant stakeholders in the development, finance, construction, and operation of low-emission hydrogen projects. Those capabilities, coupled with our in-depth experience in the renewable energy and commodities sectors, allow Curtis to understand and navigate the key commercial, technical, and legal issues necessary to bring hydrogen projects to completion.

Comprehensive Legal Services to Assist Clients in Achieving Their Net-Zero Goals

Our leading international attorneys can advise government clients in the design of a policy and regulatory framework that promotes and incentivizes the clean hydrogen sector, as well as private sector clients in the development, finance, and operation of hydrogen projects and the delivery of clean hydrogen to end users across sectors, both in local and export markets.
