Based in Brussels with offices in Paris, Rotterdam, Washington D.C., Santiago de Chile and Bogota, HINICIO is part of the Vulcain Group since 2022 and its mission is to support the transformation of the global energy system.
Founded in 2006, HINICIO is a leading technical and strategic consulting firm in the hydrogen and its derivatives, sustainable transport and industrial decarbonization sectors. With a portfolio of more than 900 projects in 45 countries, it advises governments, companies and international organizations, including investment banks, multilaterals and venture capital firms.
HINICIO believes that hydrogen plays a key role in the future of the energy system and in achieving sustainable goals. Its services include the formulation of corporate and national strategies, the development of public policies, investment decisions and the execution of studies and projects of high technological and economic complexity.
They specialize in renewable energy, renewable and low-carbon hydrogen, BESS, e-mobility and transportation, methane, ammonia, methanol, SAF and CCUS. It supports its clients throughout the entire value chain, from the initial conception of their projects to the final investment decision, with a commitment to quality at every stage.
Their experience in developing strategies at different levels, together with their extensive knowledge in planning, design, optimization and certification, allows them to understand the technical and operational fundamentals that shape energy value chains and their practical applications, as well as the complexities and opportunities of sectors that are difficult to decarbonize.
Their recognized track record in regulatory affairs and public policy, including their contribution to the development of regulatory frameworks for renewable and low-emission hydrogen in the European Union and the Americas, has enabled them to understand that the design of each project must be tailored to local and regional conditions.
Their technical expertise is based on systems engineering capabilities, which allow them to integrate a broad spectrum of technologies into a robust architecture. This includes renewable energy, electrolyzers, transmission lines, BESS, hydrogen storage, pipelines, chemical reactors and port logistics, among others.
With this approach, backed by its advanced project design optimization tools, it offers a unique value proposition: an end-to-end solution that maximizes operational efficiency and meets market demands.
