Hybart

What Hybart does

Hybart BV is a Belgium-incorporated strategic advisory firm operating as the personal advisory platform of Bart Biebuyck, a globally recognized expert in hydrogen technologies and market development. Registered at Oude Gentweg 31, 8700 Tielt, Belgium, the firm delivers bespoke consulting services centered on the hydrogen economy. Its service scope includes strategic roadmap development, partnership and network building, investment de-risking, policy and regulatory guidance, market development strategy, and project development support. Hybart operates on a direct-engagement model in which clients work exclusively with Biebuyck rather than a broader analyst team, with engagements custom-quoted and pricing not publicly disclosed.

The firm's underlying value rests on Biebuyck's accumulated track record across industry, government, and international hydrogen initiatives. He served as Executive Director of the EU Clean Hydrogen Partnership from 2016 to 2023, during which he oversaw a €1 billion EU fund leveraged by an additional €1 billion in private investment, supported more than 360 research and innovation projects, initiated the €3 billion European Hydrogen Bank, negotiated an additional €200 million under RePowerEU for the Hydrogen Valley concept, and originated the European Hydrogen Valleys Partnership spanning approximately 40 EU regions. Earlier in his career he held a Technical Senior Manager role at Toyota Motor Europe's Fuel Cell department and was involved in opening Belgium's first hydrogen refueling station in 2016.

Hybart generates revenue through professional-services advisory engagements, with marketing driven by Biebuyck's personal brand, conference speaking (COP29, European Hydrogen Week, World Hydrogen Week), podcast appearances across multiple hydrogen-focused shows, and articles in publications such as Science|Business and The Innovation Platform. The firm has no disclosed external funding, no institutional shareholders, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Biebuyck concurrently serves as CEO and founding member of Green Energy Park Global since mid-2023, which is implementing gigawatt-scale hydrogen production facilities in Brazil in partnership with Vale — a partnership that earned EU Global Gateway Flagship Status in 2025 and that functionally extends Hybart's reach into operational hydrogen project execution.
