We advise clients on the development and commercialisation of green fuel technologies, including biofuels, green hydrogen, synthetic fuels, and renewable natural gas (RNG). Our team assists with project structuring, financing, and regulatory approvals, helping businesses scale up production and ensure that green fuels are commercially viable and sustainable.

The green fuels sector is subject to complex regulations at national, regional, and international levels. We provide guidance on compliance with environmental and energy policies, including the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) in the EU, sustainability criteria, and carbon intensity regulations. We also advise on policy incentives, subsidies, and grants that support the development and deployment of green fuel technologies.

We support clients in the development and deployment of infrastructure for green fuels, such as hydrogen refuelling stations, biofuel production facilities, and distribution networks. Our team helps with land acquisition, permitting, environmental assessments, and financing, ensuring that infrastructure projects meet regulatory requirements and are optimised for long-term sustainability.

Green fuel projects often require significant investment, whether for R&D, scaling production, or building infrastructure. We assist clients in structuring financing, securing public and private investment, and accessing green bonds and other sustainable funding mechanisms. Our team works closely with investors to assess the financial viability and risks of green fuel projects, ensuring alignment with both environmental and financial goals.

The successful deployment of green fuels requires robust supply chains and logistics networks. We provide legal support in managing the supply and distribution of green fuels, from sourcing feedstock for biofuels to building the infrastructure required for hydrogen transportation. We help clients establish resilient, efficient, and compliant supply chains that support the widespread adoption of green fuels.

To ensure that green fuel projects meet sustainability goals, it is crucial to measure their environmental impact. Our team advises on carbon accounting and the development of sustainability metrics, helping clients assess the carbon intensity of their fuel production processes and optimise for maximum emissions reduction. We also provide guidance on certification schemes for green fuels and renewable energy standards.

We help clients navigate the complex legal and commercial landscape of green fuel markets, including advising on power purchase agreements (PPAs), offtake agreements, and joint ventures. Our team ensures that clients secure favourable contracts for the supply, purchase, and distribution of green fuels, maximising market access while mitigating financial and operational risks.

Disputes can arise in the green fuel sector over issues such as contractual performance, environmental compliance, and technology failures. Our team offers expert dispute resolution services, including mediation, arbitration, and litigation, to help clients resolve conflicts and minimise the impact of disputes on their projects.
