What is energy & natural resources insurance?

Howden's mission is to become a leader in corporate risk brokerage in France, especially in the energy specialty. For instance, Howden is a member of France Hydrogène and supports both energy providers and independent developers in their insurance needs. Given the distinct nature of each hydrogen production unit, risk management related to hydrogen becomes crucial in designing insurance coverage.

Choose Howden for its strong technical expertise, experience, and relevance in addressing the specific challenges faced by energy clients.

Why is it Important and Who Needs It?

For example, hydrogen developers seeking financing from investors require a robust insurance program. This insurance plays a vital role in instilling confidence in potential investors. The purpose of "Energy & Natural Resources" insurance is to provide comprehensive protection against the inherent risks of hydrogen projects, enabling developers to attract the necessary funds to bring their innovative projects to life. Choose Howden to enhance the financial support for your hydrogen project with reliable insurance coverage, and the same goes for energy projects in a broader sense (solar, wind, biomass, Oil & Gas, hydropower, nuclear).
