iH2 - Ivoire Hydrogène

What iH2 - Ivoire Hydrogène does

iH2 - Ivoire Hydrogène is an Ivorian consulting firm headquartered in Abidjan (Plateau), founded in 2021, that specializes in hydrogen, renewable energy, and gas project development across the African continent. The firm operates with a lean team of approximately 5 employees and serves a horizontal mix of African governments and public utilities (primary), industrial companies, mobility operators, and energy/construction firms pursuing decarbonization, energy transition, and sustainable mobility. iH2 is a signatory of the UN Global Compact, aligning governance with SDGs 7, 9, 11, and 12, and is one of 14 pioneer members of the African Hydrogen Partnership (AHP).

The company's service portfolio is organized around three practice areas: Strategic Consulting & Audit (governance, energy QHSE, sourcing, FM, IT/Green IT, RSE advisory, and audits in energy, mobility/carbon footprint, FM, QHSE, and IT); Territorial Studies & Project Development (mapping studies, feasibility studies, technical-economic studies including environmental and social impact assessments, and financing dossier preparation); and Project Management Assistance/AMO (conception, realization, and exploitation of buildings, energy infrastructure, IT systems including M365, GED, GTB/GTC, GMAO, IoT, BOS). Pricing is quote-based and project-scoped, with no public rate cards or recurring-fee structure disclosed. Two proprietary assets support the practice: the "Cartographie H2 Afrique" interactive mapping platform cataloging hydrogen projects continent-wide, and a demonstration "Projet station multi-énergies Abidjan," a bio-sourced multi-energy refueling station at esquisse (sketch) stage.

Go-to-market is event-driven and sales-led, anchored on industry forum participation (World Hydrogen Summit, African Hydrogen Forum Rotterdam 2023, German-African Energy Forum Hamburg 2023, WADEM 2023 Conakry, NAFNIS Abuja), academic engagements (ENSA Morocco, INP-HB, IREN), and direct consulting mandates. Cross-border cooperation includes a 2021 engagement with Mali's AMADER on native hydrogen exploration. No revenue, funding, institutional backers, management team, named customers, patents, certifications, or regulatory actions are disclosed in the available source material, leaving material data gaps on commercial scale, ownership, and competitive economics.

Broad incumbents

• Globeleq: Africa-focused independent power producer with renewable energy portfolio and emerging hydrogen interest. Comparable as an Africa-focused energy developer; broader scope than iH2's hydrogen specialization.
• ENGIE: Global utility with African energy operations and a hydrogen strategy. Comparable as a major energy player with Africa footprint and hydrogen ambitions; vastly larger and diversified.
• EDF: French utility with hydrogen programs and operations in Africa. Comparable as a major energy incumbent pursuing hydrogen and engaged in African markets.
• Scatec: Norwegian renewable energy developer with significant African footprint and hydrogen ambitions. Comparable as a renewables developer with Africa focus and hydrogen expansion; far larger and broader in scope.
• Masdar: UAE-based renewable energy and green hydrogen developer with growing Africa presence. Comparable as a globally backed green hydrogen developer; far larger in capital and project pipeline.
• Sasol: South African integrated energy and chemicals company with established hydrogen and gas value chain. Comparable as an Africa-based major energy player with hydrogen involvement; far larger and diversified.

Direct peers

• CWP Global: Renewable energy developer expanding into green hydrogen in Africa (e.g., AMUN project in Mauritania). Comparable as an Africa-focused energy developer moving into green hydrogen.
• Hyphen Hydrogen Energy: Namibian green hydrogen developer with a flagship project in advanced development. Comparable as an African hydrogen project developer; differs in being later-stage with secured offtake partners and significantly more capital.
• Hive Hydrogen Energy: South Africa-based green hydrogen and ammonia developer pursuing large-scale projects. Directly comparable as an Africa-focused hydrogen project developer; differs in scale, capital backing, and project stage.

Others

• African Hydrogen Partnership (AHP): Industry body of which iH2 is a founding member. Comparable as an ecosystem player rather than a competitor; included because iH2's competitive position and network access are tied directly to its AHP membership.
