HOP3 is a small and agile boutique consultancy made up of 4 associated partners created in 2018. Each of its partners has more than 25 years’ experience in energy-intensive industries (cement, lime & glass).
Over the years we have built an extensive network among technology providers and key players in the CO2 transport, storage, and utilisation chain.
Now our aim is to guide companies and industrial associations in mapping out their future pathways towards a future-proof process industry that will be decarbonised, resilient, competitive and innovative. And to therefore provide a 360° support for their transition to carbon neutrality.
Our approach is pragmatic, tailored to the specific needs of our industrial clients.
Our core competencies include carbon neutrality, carbon capture (CCU/CCS), circularity, sustainable construction, corporate social responsibility, public affairs, sustainability communication and stakeholder engagement.



We offer you over 100 years (!) of sustainability experience with the process industry at international level. We follow the latest developments to come up with pragmatic solutions. We operate with the highest level of ethics and integrity.
