Excelling in
HydrogenDutch technology for a climate-neutral world

The second
gas revolution

Over 50 years ago, large natural gas reserves were discovered in
the Netherlands. As a result, one of the world’s most extensive andsophisticated gas grids was developed. A second gas revolution iswell underway with the introduction of carbon-neutral hydrogen.
Next to its use as feedstock or fuel, hydrogen can, as an energy
carrier, solve systemic issues by enabling further integration ofrenewable energy in our energy system. Although challenges lie
ahead, fostering the development of hydrogen is key to making
the energy transition a success.

Building hydrogen-fuelled
partnerships
Climate change is a global challenge of unique proportions, and no single country can hope to win thefight on its own. To successfully limit the effects of climate change, the global community needs to work
together. Not only by agreeing on international reduction targets, but also by pooling knowledge andresources to accelerate the development and implementation of clean technologies.
This is particularly true for the large-scale adoption of clean hydrogen. As one of the most flexible andversatile carbon-neutral fuels, it is often referred to as the crucial link in the global energy transition.
Its potential is huge, yet unlocking it requires concerted efforts, from substantially scaling up production
capacity to creating global demand and developing infrastructure and global logistics. Hydrogen will haveto become a global commodity, in an international marketplace that connects individual countries andenables each to make the most of its natural resources.
The Netherlands is determined to play an efficient and constructive role in building a global hydrogen
economy. As this guide illustrates, the Netherlands is already at the forefront of European initiatives totake the hydrogen revolution further, building on various strengths including its strategic location as
the gateway to North-Western Europe and a key hub in the global oil and gas trade, with the necessary
infrastructure in place. The North Sea offers a unique opportunity for large scale wind and solar electricity
production at competitive cost. The country is also home to a rich ecosystem of research institutes
and industrial partners who are remarkably effective at translating ideas and concepts into feasible,
integrated solutions. This has resulted in a wide-ranging portfolio of technologies that covers every
step in the hydrogen value chain, from electrolysis to transport and storage of hydrogen and a range ofapplications across sectors including industry, road and maritime transport and residential heating.
Yet, perhaps even more important than the technology itself is the Dutch mind-set, which is open,
pragmatic and outward-looking. The country has a rich heritage in building productive partnerships,
both at home and around the world. Dutch hydrogen ambitions and initiatives are strongly embedded inEuropean policies and innovation programmes. The country is home to Europe’s first ‘hydrogen valley’,located in the North of the country, attracting foreign investors and technology companies who view theNetherlands as an excellent base for open innovation and business development. And the country’s own
technology sector has a long history of applying its knowledge and innovations to the specific needs andconcerns of other countries and cultural settings.
Transforming hydrogen from a key technology with huge potential to the bedrock of a clean energy
system will take years. Yet the technology to start the process in earnest is ready. And the Dutchhydrogen sector is keen to learn about your ideas, ambitions and objectives, and to help you achieve
them.

Hydrogen

The crucial link in
the global energy
transition
The race is on to substantially reduce our global carbon footprintin time to halt the devastating consequences of climate change.
International cooperation and technological innovation are
key enablers of successful, large-scale decarbonisation of oursocieties. One technology in particular will be crucial to overcome
some of the most persistent challenges: the production,
distribution, storage, use and trade of clean hydrogen.

NL Hydrogen Guide

Scaling up clean hydrogen production requires large amounts of renewableelectricity. Wind power in particular is a vital enabler. The Netherlands
aims to install 21 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, and to produce
at least another 35 Terawatt hour of renewable energy on land. Given
the high expectations for clean hydrogen usage for multiple applications,even more capacity is needed to fulfil these ambitions.

Scaling up clean hydrogen production requires large

produce at least another 35 Terawatt hour of renewableenergy on land. Given the high expectations for cleanhydrogen usage for multiple applications, even morecapacity is probably needed to fulfil these ambitions.
As a signatory of the Paris Climate Agreement, theDutch government has enshrined in law its commitment
to a decarbonised future, and has agreed ambitious
targets (see the box) in a national Climate Agreement.
In addition, the Netherlands is committed to working
proactively on the Sustainable Development Goals(SDG’s). As such, we are committed to reducing carbon
emissions while making sure potential negative effectsof this transition on the wellbeing of people andcommunities anywhere in the world are limited. For
one of the most densely populated and industrialised
countries in the world, meeting these targets will
present considerable challenges. Billions of euros will
be invested over the coming decade alone to accelerate
the energy transition. The Netherlands plans sizeable
investments in renewable energy, especially offshore
wind energy. Other key policies are aimed at putting
all this carbon-neutral power to good use, throughlarge-scale electrification of cars, residential heating
through heat pumps and the electrification of industrial
processes.
Yet, even with these ambitious policies, persistent
challenges remain. For example, the country’s large
industrial sector requires huge amounts of hightemperature process heat, as well as feasible

alternatives for fossil-based feedstock. As we become
increasingly reliant on intermittent energy sources,
such as wind and solar power, we urgently needsolutions for storing large amounts of energy to avoid
grid congestion and assure security of supply, bothin the short term and across seasons. Yet anotherchallenge is to decarbonise the marine shipping androad haulage sectors as well as finding a substitutefor the natural gas used for heating buildings.
Hydrogen: a crucial link
Hydrogen is widely seen as a crucial technology
to overcome such fundamental obstacles to fulldecarbonisation. It can be used as an alternative tonatural gas in industrial processes, as a feedstock
for the production of chemicals, and as a carbonneutral fuel in virtually all modes of transport, especiallythose for which electrification is not (yet) an option.
Through electrolysis, hydrogen can be used to storeand distribute large amounts of renewable electricity,paving the way for further large-scale investment inwind and solar power and creating new opportunities
for grid balancing, seasonal storage, providing large
scale energy infrastructure alternatives and evenglobal exports of renewable energy.
The Dutch angle
The Dutch approach to building a hydrogen-based
future has several distinctive characteristics. Firstof all, it is explicitly driven by the climate policies andcommitments previously described. Secondly, its scopetakes in the entire value chain. Rather than viewinghydrogen production and various applications as
separate issues, the Netherlands has adopted an
integrated system approach to developing a ‘hydrogen

The Netherlands, together
with Belgium and France,
already has over 1,000 kmof dedicated hydrogenpipeline. The country’s
dense natural gas grid
(136,000 km of highquality pipeline) can be
retrofitted to transporthydrogen at an acceptablecost. This will accelerate
the development of a‘national hydrogen
backbone’, which could
be ready by 2027.

economy’. Dozens of pilot projects are underway inwhich companies, regional and local governments,hydrogen associations and platforms, and Research
and Technology Organisations (RTO’s) are building acomplete hydrogen ecosystem, not only focusing ontechnology but also on creating demand, businessmodels and on tackling regulatory, certification andstandardisation and safety issues. This is often donein public-private partnerships and in a very pragmaticway: the Dutch have an open approach to innovation
which encourages experimentation.
Thirdly, the Dutch outlook on hydrogen is decidedly
global in nature. Living in a small country with anexcellent strategic location, we have always beenstrongly aware of the need to look beyond the country’s
borders. It has caused Dutch companies, ports,
research institutes and government to be wellconnected to foreign markets with strong collaborative
networks all over the world. Therefore, in addition todeveloping a Dutch hydrogen ecosystem and value
chain, the Netherlands strives to help accelerate theglobal, large-scale adoption of hydrogen as a carbonneutral energy carrier. And building on the strategic
location in global oil and gas logistics, the Netherlands
is aiming to become a European hub for the production
and transport of low-carbon and especially carbonneutral hydrogen.
Strong foundations
These ambitions are underpinned by strong foundations.
Currently, the Netherlands is already Europe’s second
largest producer of fossil-based hydrogen and isdetermined to decarbonise this sector. Since largescale production of carbon-neutral (green) hydrogen willtake time, ‘blue’ hydrogen is an important intermediate
step. In this case, hydrogen is produced from natural
gas but the CO 2 released in the process is captured andstored resulting in drastically reduced carbon emissions
released into the air. Still, the required technology forgreen hydrogen is being developed at a rapid pace (seenext chapter) with many associated factors in place.

knowledge partners assembled to accelerateinnovations in the hydrogen economy. The Netherlands
also has one of the world’s most sophisticated natural
gas infrastructures, achieved by developing a nationalgas grid reaching into nearly every home and business.
And in doing so, the Dutch gas sector has built up
extensive expertise in handling, monitoring and storinggas. In addition, the country is a major European hub forcross-border trade in natural gas, both in gaseous andliquefied forms. These are strong foundations as weseek to expand and adapt our existing infrastructure,transforming it into a flexible grid that enables largescale rollout of hydrogen.

The European perspective
Building a hydrogen economy is a major undertaking,that no single country can achieve by itself. We strive forworking in close international cooperation in researchdevelopment, European policies, demonstration projects
and implementation of new technology that the world asa whole can benefit from. Dutch initiatives are therefore
closely aligned with European partners and EU-wide
innovation programmes. Examples include:•	Clean Hydrogen Partnership. Succeeding the Fuel Cells& Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU), this partnershipaims to implement the EU Green Deal and the EU
hydrogen strategy by accelerating the production,
distribution and storage of clean hydrogen in the EU,
especially within hard-to-abate sectors.
•	Large projects could acquire the status of Important
Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI). IPCEIs
focus on large scale research, demonstration andimplementation projects of European interest in whichmore public financing is possible compared to what isallowed under regular state aid regulations. In 2021, theNetherlands has nominated 25 projects for IPCEI-status
awaiting the approval of the European Commission.

There is a highly developed manufacturing industry,
with hundreds of companies at every step of thevalue chain, from producing crucial components forelectrolysers to manufacturers of special vehicles andbuses. This position is underlined by the recent launchof an Electrolyser Manufacturing Platform (EMP-NL)

The North of the Netherlands was the first region to receive European funding asa ‘Hydrogen Valley’. Its potential is widely recognised: the initiative was backed
by dozens of companies from 6 different countries. In 2020 regional authorities,
companies and knowledge partners published an ambitious investment plan of 9billion euros over the next 10 years. It encompasses over 50 projects covering theentire hydrogen value chain, including large-scale production, the development
of distribution and storage infrastructure and a range of applications.

Hydrogen production

Makingclean hydrogencompetitive
Hydrogen is only as clean as the energy carrier it’s madefrom. For hydrogen to have a meaningful impact on the global
energy transition, the production of clean hydrogen has to bescaled up substantially. And this, in turn, requires innovations
that make its dominant production process – electrolysis –more robust and cost-competitive.

10

NL Hydrogen Guide

TNO’s Faraday lab in Petten is an innovation lab that focuses on optimisingexisting electrolysis technologies such as PEM, alkaline, SOEC and AEM. It
enables manufacturers of electrolysers and their suppliers to develop and test
new materials, components and applications under different conditions.

11Agreement exists in- and outside the Netherlands about
the necessity of increasing the availability of cleanhydrogen. Yet it has struggled to make a breakthrough:the cost is still several times that of fossil-basedhydrogen, and limited demand has, so far, hampered
efforts to scale up electrolysis installations and reducethe cost.
Next-generation electrolysers
Many Dutch initiatives focus on this key challenge ofmaking clean hydrogen more affordable. Much of thework is centred around TNO’s Faraday laboratory inPetten, one of Europe’s largest hydrogen researchfacilities. In this open innovation lab, researchers and awide range of industry partners are working to optimise
existing electrolysis technologies such as PEM, alkaline,
SOEC and AEM. The innovations developed here focus on
improving efficiency, boosting production capacity andfinding robust, cheaper alternatives to the rare materials
used in current electrolysers. Other examples of crossfertilisation between research institutes and industry
partners include Voltachem, aimed at the electrificationof industry, and the Hydrohub innovation programme of
ISPT (Institute of Sustainable Process Technology),
including its MW-test centre for electrolysers.

Work has started on
the Netherlands’ first
Gigawatt electrolyser tobe operational by 2030.
In addition to state-of the-art facilities and researchgroups, the Dutch hydrogen ecosystem includes a wide
range of technology providers. A survey found that,even though electrolysis is yet to become a mainstream
technology for hydrogen production, nearly a hundredcompanies in the Netherlands are already active in thefield or are planning to enter this market. These include
manufacturers of electrolyser components such as
membranes, as well as stack integrators, suppliers of
supporting technology and system integrators withthe expertise and scale to build complete electrolyser
installations. Many of these companies have extensive
and valuable experience in other industrial markets,
which can help to make the production process ofelectrolysers more robust and efficient. For example,
by standardising and automating production processes,
or by developing efficient water purification
technologies. In 2021 an electrolyser manufacturing
platform (EMP-NL) was established by FME and TNO
to connect and create the Dutch supply chain forelektrolysers. Already 45 companies and research
institutes have joined forces to accelerate and increase
the installed elektrolyser capacity.

12

NL Hydrogen Guide

Scaling up production capacity
In addition to optimising electrolyser technology,
Dutch hydrogen companies are tackling the questionof what is needed for larger scale use. Current
electrolysis installations typically have a capacity ofa few megawatts, but to facilitate the huge growth ofrenewable energy (as well as to compete with muchlarger ‘grey’ hydrogen plants), this capacity will haveto be a 100 to 1,000 times larger. This requires thedevelopment of hydrogen plants incorporating hundreds
or thousands of electrolysers. In the Hydrohub
programme, a large consortium of research and industry
partners has taken up the challenge and is working onplans for a ‘Gigawatt Electrolyser’ to be installed in the
Netherlands before 2030. It is part of the Institute for
Sustainable Process Technology’s Hydrohub programme,
which also includes a state-of-the-art open test centre
based at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences in
Groningen.
Moving offshore
Finally, an increasing number of researchers andcompanies are focusing not so much on the questionof how electrolysis can be implemented, but where.
This question arises from the fact that hydrogen is
widely seen as an ideal storage and transport medium
for electricity. This has encouraged efforts to installelectrolysers closer to wind or solar installations,in order to minimise the cost (and inevitable energy
losses) of transmission infrastructure.
Recent innovations in this area include a wind turbinewith an integrated 4 MW electrolyser, and the world’s
first offshore electrolysis platform in the North Sea,
called PosHYdon. Herewith an existing oil and gas
platform off the Dutch coast is being converted to theworld’s very first offshore hydrogen platform. Electricity
generated by offshore wind turbines will be used toconvert seawater into demineralised water and topower a 1 MW electrolyser producing clean hydrogen.
The latter presents an interesting perspective for the
longer-term. It raises the possibility of converting
disused oil and gas platforms into offshore electrolysis
installations. Although sea water currently has to bedesalinated before it can be used for electrolysis, Dutch
researchers are looking at ways to use sea water directly,
which would open up new opportunities for electrolysis
in areas where freshwater is scarce. And perhaps evenfor large-scale electrolysis further offshore. The Dutch
are also exploring the possibilities of creating artificial
islands in the North Sea, to be used as hydrogenproduction hubs for the many offshore wind farms
to be built over the coming years.

In the northern coastal town of Delfzijl, gas grid operator Gasunie and HyCC/Nobian are planning to build currently one of the world’s largest electrolysers (20MW), which would produce 3,000 tonnes of cleanhydrogen each year. They are also studying options to expand its capacity to 60 MW in order to produce sustainable jet fuel. (Photo: Groningen Seaports/Koos Boertjens)

In the Hydrohub Gigawatt Electrolysis Factory project, a consortium of companies, universities andknowledge institutes is paving the way for the design of an electrolysis plant on an industriallyrelevant scale by 2030. It is part of the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology’s Hydrohub
programme, which also includes a state-of-the-art open test centre based at the Hanze University ofApplied Sciences in Groningen.

HYGRO specialises in the production, delivery and distribution of hydrogen produced directly fromwind. It is building a 4 MW wind turbine with an integrated electrolyser in the province of North
Holland. The aim is to maximise synergy between wind power, hydrogen and pipeline & storage
technology. The concept optimises conversion of wind power to hydrogen, which can be transported
at much lower cost than electricity and with a significantly lower impact on spatial planning.

An existing oil and gas platform off the Dutch coast is being converted to the world’s first offshorehydrogen platform. Electricity generated by offshore wind turbines will be used to convert seawater
into demineralized water and to power a 1 MW electrolyser producing clean hydrogen.

In the E-thor pilot project, a 5 MW electrolyser is at the heart of a promising business model.
It is powered by electricity from AVR’s waste processing plant, and the oxygen produced alongsidehydrogen is used by chemical company Tronox to manufacture pigments. The hydrogen can be used
as fuel or feedstock, or can be combined with CO or CO2 to produce methanol or other chemical
products.

13Transport, storage and distribution

Towards an
integrated hydrogen
infrastructure

Large-scale production of clean hydrogen is one crucial step
towards a carbon-neutral future. Equally important is thechallenge of distributing vast amounts of hydrogen safely andcost-effectively. Dutch innovations are contributing to thedevelopment of a hydrogen economy – both at home and abroad.

The most straightforward way of transporting hydrogenis through pipelines, and few countries are as wellequipped to build a nationwide hydrogen network as
the Netherlands. That’s because the foundation isalready present. First of all, a dedicated hydrogenpipeline network of more than 1,000 km is in place,connected to industrial sites in Belgium and France.
The existing dense gas infrastructure can, after modest
alterations, already be used for hydrogen transport.
Not just by mixing hydrogen into the natural gas flow,
but by replacing one with the other. In the province of
Zeeland, a 12-km-long industrial gas pipeline transports
around 400,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year, and nearlya dozen pilot projects are underway in residential areas
to replace natural gas with hydrogen, using the existing
infrastructure. Over the coming years, this trend is set
to gather pace. One of the key policies on the Dutch
climate agenda is that over 2 million homes must haveswitched to natural gas alternatives by 2030. This will
help to decarbonise the built environment sector whilst
providing households with a long term solution for theenergy supply of their homes. And as the demand fornatural gas falls, much of the network’s capacity
becomes available for hydrogen transport, especiallysince the grid includes many ‘parallel’ pipelines. It
is estimated that, by 2027, we could already havedeveloped a national ‘hydrogen backbone’ connecting
our five main industrial clusters. The national
research consortium HyDelta investigates many
issues associated with the use of existing natural
gas assets for hydrogen.
In addition to transporting hydrogen, the existing
natural gas infrastructure also offers opportunities forstorage, in order to help bridge seasonal variations in
the availability of renewable power, or to balance thepower grid. For example, in the north of the country,
natural gas is stored in huge salt caverns, with acapacity of hundreds of millions of cubic metres. Pilot
projects have demonstrated that hydrogen can be safely
stored here as well. In addition to this, researchers andindustry specialists are already examining the technicaland economic feasibility of storing hydrogen in empty
gas fields, both on land and in the North Sea. The
potential storage and transport capacity there is hugeand could easily accommodate the approx. 21 GW of
offshore wind power planned in the Dutch North Sea
over the next 10 years.
Building a hydrogen economy requires other and more
flexible modes of transport besides pipelines and, in thisrespect too, we are working on a range of innovations.
For example, researchers at TNO and industry partners
are developing special hydrogen tanks. This includes
the development of new materials that enable hydrogento be stored at very high pressure or extremely low
temperatures, paving the way for safe and cost-effective
transport by road, rail or ship. Other Dutch companies
focus on binding hydrogen with other materials, such

16

NL Hydrogen Guide

as nitrogen, carbon dioxide or toluene, to create acarrier liquid that is much easier to transport,
sometimes even in existing oil tankers.
The growing market of clean hydrogen requires aproperly functioning exchange platform and efficientpricing. This is being explored in the HyXchange project.
It conducted a study in 2021 defining the necessary
elements of such an international exchange. HyXchange
will continue to test their findings in pilot projects andsimulations which will facilitate further growth anddevelopment of the global hydrogen market.

The country’s 136,000 km ofgas pipelines offer unique
opportunities to develop ahydrogen backbone.
We are working on all aspects of an integrated hydrogen
infrastructure in the Netherlands and we are keen on
international cooperation opportunities to expand anddevelop an integrated hydrogen infrastructure globally.
Working proactively together in partnerships to takeaction on these goals is important so that we all achieve
our shared climate goals.
A hydrogen hub
While such innovations open up new opportunities for
distributing hydrogen in the last few steps of the value
chain, they can also be applied to large-scale transport
over (very) long distances. And there is an urgent needfor such solutions, since there is a large potential for a
global hydrogen market. Studies indicate that in areas
with abundant sunshine and/or favourable windconditions, the cost of renewable electricity could fall
to around 1 eurocent per kWh within 10 years. This
will boost the business case for large-scale electrolysis,
producing carbon-neutral hydrogen for other markets.
Over the next few decades, Europe is expected to
become a net importer of clean hydrogen, and we areready to contribute to the change.
Some of Europe’s busiest transport corridors converge
on the Netherlands, thanks to excellent road, rail andinland shipping infrastructure, as well as pipeline
connections with much of Europe. The port of Rotterdam
is the largest port for oil and (liquefied) natural gas
in Europe, and is working with industrial partners tobuild up a similar position for hydrogen. Several
multinationals are planning to build electrolysers in
Rotterdam, and work has started on a dedicatedhydrogen pipeline infrastructure. Other companies arefocusing on the technology needed for large hydrogentankers, and for storage infrastructure not just in the
Netherlands, but also in the countries that are looking
to capitalise on their potential as hydrogen exporters.

As of April 2022, the Dutch government has signed bilateral Memoranda of Understanding (MoU)
with Chile, Portugal, Canada, Uruguay and more are to be expected. Such partnerships are highly
valued by public and private organisations as it paves the way for further international cooperation.
It shows the value that we give to building hydrogen corridors in North-Western Europe as well as
preparing for large-scale import of clean hydrogen.

The village of Stad aan ’t Haringvliet is home to an active community of residents who are making acollective effort to phase out natural gas. Grid operator Stedin has already confirmed that existinggas infrastructure can be used to transport hydrogen to the village’s 600 homes. Elsewhere, in
Hoogeveen in the North of the country, similar plans have been developed which will allow hydrogento be transported to over 500 new and existing houses over the next 5 years.

A national hydrogen backbone is being developed in the Netherlands, which will consist of 1,400 kmof pipeline by 2030. The network will connect regional backbones with each other, with large
clusters of industrial consumers and port facilities, as well as with storage facilities and grids
outside the Netherlands. 85% of the backbone is expected to consist of reused gas infrastructure.

Dutch gas grid operator Gasunie is planning to develop its first large-scale hydrogen storage site
at HyStock, Zuidwending. Here its subsidiary Energystock operates a storage facility with six
underground salt caverns, which are currently used for storing natural gas. Four new caverns will
be developed for hydrogen, with a total storage capacity of 20,000 tonnes.

17

In the province of Zeeland an existing, 12-kilometre natural gas pipeline has been adapted totransport (residual) hydrogen from Dow Chemical’s production site in Terneuzen to Yara’s fertilizer
plant in nearby Sluiskil. The initiative has allowed the two chemical companies to achieve CO2
savings of 10,000 tonnes per year.

Hydrogen applications

Creating demand
Kickstarting the hydrogen economy requires investments
in supply and infrastructure, but obviously also a large andstable demand. Researchers and companies are working on
a wide range of potential hydrogen applications, focusing on
those with the highest impact on carbon emissions.

18

NL Hydrogen Guide

Holthausen is a fast-growing family business which specialises inconverting lorries and special vehicles to run on hydrogen. It has ajoint venture with Hyzon Motors to produce up to 2,000 hydrogen
lorries a year for the European market.

19

Industrial applications
One of the areas in which hydrogen is expected to havethe largest impact on overall CO 2 emissions is inindustrial processes which require high-temperature
heat. These are typically large installations which
consume huge amounts of fossil fuel, mainly naturalgas. The goal is to adapt industrial burner systems andensure they can deal with hydrogen’s radically different
combustion characteristics. In combination with CO
or CO 2, hydrogen also has vast potential to replacepetroleum and natural gas as a basis for the productionof synthetic fuels and sustainable bulk chemicals, suchas methanol, alkenes and aromatics.
Mobility
Many Dutch innovations focus on modes of transport for
which electrification is not the most preferred option,such as ships and long-distance road haulage. For
example, with our large inland shipping sector, with agoal to introduce 150 hydrogen-powered barges overthe next 10 years, and as part of a pan-European project
initiated by the province of Zuid-Holland, hydrogen
fuelling stations will be built along the shipping corridor
between Rotterdam and Genoa. The construction of
the first barge has started and is set to be operationalin 2023, an important step towards a carbon neutral
maritime sector. Dutch solutions for road transport
include hydrogen-fuelled buses and trucks, range
extenders for electric vehicles and the technology
needed for hydrogen refuelling stations.

Residential heatingGas-fired heating has been the standard for nearly
every Dutch home for decades, yet this is about tochange. Newly built homes are no longer connected to
the gas grid and, over the next ten years, millions ofexisting homes are expected to switch to sustainable
alternatives. While for many newer homes this can beaccomplished using solar energy combined with heatpumps, or geothermal heating, for many older homes,hydrogen may be a more feasible solution. The existinggas infrastructure could be adapted to distributehydrogen (see also p. 16). The Netherlands has a strong
ecosystem of condensing boiler manufacturers, who
are investing heavily in transitioning from natural gas
to hydrogen. Several have marketed models suitable forgas mixtures with up to 30% of hydrogen, and haveshowcased 100% hydrogen boilers. Others are working
on technology that would allow existing gas-fuelled
condensing boilers to be retrofitted for use withhydrogen.
Flexible power infrastructure
Since our electricity supply is becoming more and more
dependent on renewable – and intermittent – energy
sources, it is important to ensure adequate buffers ofcarbon-neutral power. Currently, gas and coal-fired
power plants provide the necessary back-up to offset
a sudden drop in wind or solar power. We are working
on the technology to convert these power plants to
run on (carbon-neutral) hydrogen, as well as on thestorage solutions needed to create large hydrogen
buffers (see p. 16). Other innovations include flexible
electrolysers that can be used for grid balancing,frequency containment or combined with for example
fuel cells as emergency power systems.

Near a crucial hub in the cross-border energy network connecting the Netherlands to Germany and Norway, Nuon/Vattenfall is preparing to convert an existing power plant to hydrogen. The first of the plant’s
three 440 MW units will run on (low-carbon) hydrogen by 2023. By converting the remaining units and switching to clean hydrogen by 2030, this is likely to become the world’s first carbon-neutral hydrogenfuelled power plant.

20

NL Hydrogen Guide

Researchers at Nefit Bosch are working on a hybrid condensing boiler, suitable for both natural gas and for 100% hydrogen. This concept would contribute to the affordability of a large-scale transition tohydrogen. The technology is already being tested in a large pilot project in the UK, in which 1,000 homes will be fitted with hydrogen boilers.

A consortium of more than 30 public and private partners, headed by DNV and glass manufacturer
Celsian, has set up a two-year programme aimed at developing new industrial burners for hightemperature production processes. Its goal is to facilitate a fast and cost-efficient transition fromnatural gas to hydrogen.

Large-scale adoption of hydrogen as a transport fuel requires new technology for filling stations.
Several companies, including HyET and Resato, have developed proven solutions for some of therelated challenges, such as the need for affordable and reliable high-pressure compressors.

Nedstack is Europe’s largest producer of PEM fuel cell stacks. Its technology is used by customers around the world and was key to developing the world’s first Megawatt-size power plant. The company iscurrently closely involved with various projects to develop hydrogen-powered ships. For example, it is working with the shipping sector to develop a hydrogen-electric drivetrain for marine applications. A 100%hydrogen-powered, 135 m long inland barge is being built, which will transport salt from Delfzijl to Rotterdam. Project partners are the NPRC, Lenten Shipping and engine supplier Koedood Marine Group.

Duwaal wants to organise the hydrogen demandand supply jointly and simultaneously in the
North-West of the Netherlands. Duwaal was
founded by a group of companies, including
HYGRO. Collaboration is necessary to prioritise
the projects in such a way that they contribute toa fast breakthrough of the hydrogen economy.
The first joint initiatives realised are:•	The integrated hydrogen production in a windturbine;•	Integrated high-pressure storage, transportand distribution system on road, from wind toat least five hydrogen filling stations;•	The joint purchase and management of 100
hydrogen powered heavy vehicles or gensets.
By developing the chain simultaneously, areasonable volume is realised from the start, theadvantages of hydrogen are optimally utilised andthe ‘chicken and egg’ problem is broken. In turn,this simplifies financing the chain. Subsequently
other future hydrogen production or supply
projects can join the integrated transport anddistribution system and profit from lower costs
resulted from scaling and increased volume.

The pilot PosHYdon is the ultimate example ofsystem integration in the North Sea and it’s aworld’s first that green hydrogen will be produced
offshore on an operational platform. Together with
our partners, we believe that green hydrogen isvital to the energy transition. PosHYdon will teachus a lot about the next steps needed to be taken
towards safe, large-scale green hydrogenproduction at sea. Offshore green hydrogenproduction will enable large-scale wind farms to
be developed far out at sea. Wind energy is thendirectly converted to green hydrogen and canbe transported through the existing gas
infrastructure. As a result, offshore wind projects
can be realised faster at significantly lower costs
for for the end users. PosHYdon aims to integrate
3 energy systems in the North Sea: offshore wind,offshore gas and green hydrogen. All this byproducing green hydrogen from demineralised
seawater on Neptune Energy’s Q13a-A platform.
“The Netherlands is in a special position as,
in addition to an extensive gas infrastructure
network, we can harvest large amounts of windenergy in the North Sea, quantities that are also
important internationally. The wind energy can beused to generate hydrogen, which can then betransported onshore along with natural gas via
existing pipelines for industry, the transport
sector and for Dutch homes. PosHYdon is key
to accelerating this.”

The Netherlands must become more sustainable:
CO2 emissions must be zero by 2050. Hydrogenfrom sustainable sources will play an importantrole in that sustainability, starting with industry.
There is a need for large-scale, undergroundstorage of hydrogen because supply and demandof hydrogen are not constant. That is why
HyStock, Gasunie’s daughter company, isdeveloping a salt cavern in Zuidwending near
Veendam for hydrogen storage.
The installation with a first cavern ( ≈ 200GWh) is
expected to be operational in 2026. It is estimatedthat four caverns for hydrogen storage will beneeded by 2030 in order to meet market demandfor hydrogen. The hydrogen storage will beaccessible to all parties who want to storehydrogen, for the short or long term. Initiallythrough a connection to the Hydrogen Network
Northern Netherland and soon after through aconnection with the National Hydrogen Network.
In 2021 and 2022, HyStock is using borehole A8
to measure and verify H2 storage in salt caverns
in a demonstration project. The project provides
valuable insights on safety, mechanical integrity,pressure, working methods and microbiology.
The insights will be used in the development of
the first full scale Hydrogen Storage in The
Netherlands, cavern A5 on location Zuidwending.
The current A8 borehole will also eventually
become a salt cavern and will then be used
for hydrogen storage.

The Northern Netherlands is the first region toreceive a subsidy for their so-called Hydrogen­Valley. It concerns a subsidy of 20 million euros,
awarded by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint
Undertaking (now Clean Hydrogen Partnership) of
the European Commission, with a public-private
cofunding of 70-80 million euros. This subsidy isintended for the development of a fully functioning
green hydrogen chain in the Northern Netherlands.
The six-year programme – called HEAVENN(Hydrogen Energy Applications for Valley
Environments in the Northern Netherlands) –started in January 2020. HEAVENN is a large-scale
programme of demo projects bringing together
core elements: production, distribution, storageand local end-use of hydrogen (H2 ) into a fullyintegrated and functioning “H2 valley” (H2V), thatcan serve as a blueprint for replication acrossEurope and beyond. The concept is based on the
deployment and integration of existing and planned
project clusters across six locations in the
Northern Netherlands, namely Eemshaven, Delfzijl,
Zuidwending, Emmen, Hoogeveen and Groningen.
The programme facilitates the deployment of avariety of H2 fuel cell end-user applications acrossthe project clusters, while ensuring theinterconnection between them. This will bedelivered by facilitating the deployment of key
transport and distribution gas infrastructure todeliver green H2 from supply to the end-user sites.

Towards a fossil-free Wadden Fleet. The Green
Shipping Wadden Sea programme aims to
reduce CO2 emissions with 60% by 2030. With
the programme, coordinated by FME, the port
authorities, shipbuilders, suppliers, knowledge
institutes and governmental parties want tolead the way internationally and set an inspiring
example for clean and fossil-free maritime
activities in the Wadden Sea region. Partners areworking together to achieve the following goals:•	Accelerating innovations in the area of CO2 neutral and fossil-free shipping for the
Wadden Sea fleet;•	Developing (port) facilities for low-emission
and energy-neutral shipping (including
generating energy-neutral shore power byusing green hydrogen).
Ten sub-projects contribute to these goals andthe overall aim of reducing emissions with 60%
by 2030. Five projects have already started andthe other five are in development.
•	H2 Ecolution: the flagship of the programmeaiming to increase awareness of hydrogenpowered shipping.
•	Green hydrogen in the port of Den Helder:comprises two sub-projects, namely theconstruction of an electrolyser and the setting
up of a test site for ships sailing on hydrogen.
•	Hydrogen for shore power: aiming to design,
test and realise a mobile fuel cell generator in
the Wadden Sea ports.
•	Maritime Methanol Systems: development andsmall-scale testing of Direct Methanol Fuel Celltechnology for maritime applications. Roll-out
is envisaged to the recreational boating,fishing and brown fleet vessels.

Creating international partnerships
is essential to stimulate theDutch hydrogen economy
Nations worldwide are in transition towards a renewable-powered energy system to fight thethreat of global warming. The latest IPCC report stresses the urgency of increasing the speed
and scale of renewable deployment to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Hydrogen can – and in my opinion will – play a key role in minimising the impact of the transition
towards a climate-neutral and circular economy. Hydrogen has a multitude of potential applications
across energy-intensive sectors. It can be used as feedstock and replace fossil fuels in hightemperature processes in our industry.
Due to its high energy density it is suitable for long distance transportation purposes, and it canpartially play a role as a sustainable backup energy source for longer term/seasonal storages.
However, truly incorporating hydrogen into the global energy system remains challenging. ­­Large-scale (sustainable) hydrogen production, a new European and international infrastructure,
and a global hydrogen market are still in the early stages of development. This market is expected
to be of a similar form and magnitude as the current oil and gas markets, especially given the global
nature of climate challenges. And hydrogen is only one of several available alternatives.
To achieve a truly integrated hydrogen system requires a cooperating international community.
The Netherlands’ enormous experience with natural gas, as the ‘gas roundabout’ of North-West
Europe, makes it the ideal and well willing candidate for a substantial and constructive role within
a hydrogen-based economy. Our ports provide a geographically strategic position that we canuse to become the center of a European and perhaps a global hydrogen market. Furthermore,
Dutch knowledge institutions and regional entrepreneurial ecosystems, such as the greenhydrogen valley, are extremely effective in translating ideas into practice within and outsideof the Netherlands. As this brochure illustrates, the Netherlands is also home to a wide varietyof ambitious companies, ready to kick-start the European and global hydrogen market. I’m proudof this Dutch ambition to lead the development of hydrogen markets.
Both in technological innovation and business development, the pace of activity in the Netherlands
is rising sharply. Creating international partnerships is essential to stimulate the open Dutchhydrogen economy. It is our joint responsibility to turn initiatives into concrete projects andoperational systems, thereby demonstrating hydrogen’s full potential in a sustainable energy
system.
We understand that realising hydrogen’s full potential will take a long time in which considerable
challenges must continuously be overcome. Our aim is to support you in achieving your projects,
ambitions and goals.

Building new value chains – that is what drives
us. We understand the complexity of transitions
and know how to bring market, government,
innovations, business cases, technology andpolicy together. In each of our focus fields(energy transition, raw-material transition,
climate adaptation, circular), we have developedand initiated programs with a multitude ofpartners from business, government and society.
Examples include the boosting of sustainable
heat projects in the Amsterdam Metropolitan
Area, CO2 as a feedstock for future proof industry
and developing international hydrogen value
chains.
&flux initated several international hydrogenvalue propostions, one of them being an industrial

import chain between north Africa and theNetherlands. In Estonia we established thehydrogen strategy for Port of Tallinn. Throughour research and cooperation with business andgovernment partners we have started to build
on a new economic proposition with Port of
Tallinn as the central node in the hydrogenecosystem. Furthermore, we developed ahydrogen action perspective for the Estonian
Aviation Cluster to help them become part of theEstonian hydrogen value chain. Our last initiative
is setting up a hydrogen valley within Estonia,
enabling companies and government to establish
hydrogen projects along the full value chain. In
the Netherlands, &flux works on the applicationof hydrogen in several business sactors such ashorticulture and the flower and bulb sector.

Green hydraulics: basis for efficient H2 supply.
The political framework is in place. Now it isimportant to find the right technologies for the
rapid introduction of green hydrogen. Hydraulics
is one of them, as it can compress hydrogenhighly efficiently and safely. Last but not least,
filling stations are thus particularly reliable andenergy efficient.
Proven industrial hydraulics solutions are a major
help in building the H2 infrastructure. With Bosch
Rexroth as a partner, the players benefit fromneeds-based support. This ranges from robust
and safe components to engineering support andcomplete solutions.

When setting up H2 filling stations, manufacturers
and operators can choose from several
approaches: For H2 compression up to 900 bar
and a delivery rate of approx. 100 kg/h, either
highly dynamic cryogenic pumps or highly
efficient compressors with linear or rotary drives
can be considered. If smaller delivery rates are
required, servo-hydraulic compact axes generateadvantages because they require little space,especially for retrofitting in urban areas, and canbe put into operation quickly thanks to the Plug &Produce preconfiguration.

BrigH2 : The Renewable Alternative. BrigH2 plans
to start a 50 MW gasification unit to produce
6300 mtpa renewable hydrogen, pure bioCO2 andBiochar. The Demonstration plant will be situatedon Brightlands Chemelot Campus and will serve
the industrial users on the Chemelot site, but also
intends to produce Fuel Cell grade Hydrogen forthe mobility sector.
The project is in the feasibility phase at the
moment. The location of the plant on theChemelot campus fits exactly with the circularity
target of the campus and the site. The feedstock
will be torrefied biomass, where torrefaction does
create a significant extension of the area where
the biomass is gathered. Torrefaction also
creates an uniform feedstock for the delicate
process, reducing the investment costs per ton ofrenewable hydrogen to the max, but has provenitself in the quality of the syngas produced andthe potential for uninterrupted continues
production.
Next to the hydrogen production, BrigH2 also
provides a long term sustainable route for CCU
processes due to the biogenic origin of the CO2
produced, as well as negative CO2 emissions byconnecting to the CCS infrastructure underdevelopment on the Chemelot site. Alternatively
the CO2 prevents an additional fossil CO2 emission
once applied in greenhouses.
The Biochar is of exceptional quality and suitable
for a large number of applications now dependenton petrochemical coke of low sulfur.
The technology is developed in Groningen on
a 1 MW scale and is further scaled towards a2 x 12.5 MW unit to produce Methane fromsyngas in Delfzijl.

ConPackSys is an engineering firm located in
Dordrecht, the Netherlands close to theRotterdam and Antwerp harbours. We specializein the engineering, packaging, construction andcommissioning of compressor systems for theindustry. This entails the technical design,
fabrication and testing of the compressor itself
but also its auxiliary systems; drivers, processequipment (coolers, separators), piping, control
and instrumentation, noise enclosures and lube
oil systems These are all required for safe andsound operation of the compressor. ConPackSys
has experience with applications for hydrogenand carbon dioxide(including Carbon Captureand Storage).

Compression is going to be important
throughout the hydrogen value chain.
Compression is required for storage ofhydrogen, for transportation from A to B andalso at the end-user. Hydrogen can beconverted to green chemicals, to generate
electricity or is used in mobility. ConPackSys
is able to provide solutions for each of theseapplications with compressor duties ranging
from 10 kW up to 10 MW. We specialize in tailor
made and turn key systems for our clients.

Corre Energy Storage is a Dutch, Groningen
headquartered business, that develops large
scale renewable energy storage. The technique
we use is called Compressed Air Energy Storage(CAES). We aim to develop several projects
across Northern Europe, enabling the integrationof renewables at large-scale and catalysing theenergy transition and the Green Hydrogen
Economy. Corre Energy wants to develop its first
CAES project in Zuidwending, the Netherlands
through its subsidiary Corre Energy Storage.
CAES provides an energy balancing solution forboth TSO’s and renewable energy portfolio
operators, without which countries like theNetherlands will be unable to reach the targets of
70% renewable energy by 2030.
Why this project? In order to guarantee asustainable future – also for future generations– CO2 emissions in the Netherlands (in Europe

and throughout the world) will have to be reduced
drastically. In accordance with the Paris Climate
Agreement, as society we produce more solar
and wind energy every year. However, this growth
also has its limitations. For example, the wind andthe sun cannot be influenced, which means thatsometimes too much and sometimes too little
green electrical energy is produced. On days
when more energy is produced than the market
needs, installations sometimes have to be
switched off, causing the loss of valuable energy
and investments. On days when too little green
energy is produced, natural gas has to be used
and CO2 is released. In short: it is very difficult
for society to accurately absorb fluctuations in
the electricity network without wasting energy
or emitting CO2. The Corre Energy Storage
project in Zuidwending offers the solution
for these problems.

Elestor has introduced an innovative electricity
storage technology for grid scale applications,based on the flow battery principle. With this,the electricity storage costs (aka Levelized Costof Storage) are reduced to an absolute minimum.
Low cost, abundant active materials (hydrogen &bromine) are used, combined with a patented
system design and easy to manufacture compact
cells.
This triple cost reduction strategy enables
introduction of viable business cases, essential
to stimulate the adoption of electricity storage,
and thus to accelerate the energy transition.
In the end game the technology has all theproperties to replace fossil power plants(bi-directional power plants) and has thepotential to become the equivalent in largescale long duration electricity storage of what
Lithium ion is today for mobility.

51

The essential difference of Elestor’s technology
with conventional batteries is that power (MW)and capacity (MWh) are uncoupled: The Elestor
technology is 100% modular and virtually any
desired MW-MWh combination can be designed,
enabling very cost-effective bridging of long
periods during which hardly renewable electricity
is generated. With a progressing dependency onintermittent energy sources (sun, wind), thisproperty becomes increasingly distinctive, if notdecisive, for the energy transition to succeed.
Another unique feature is that the Elestor
technology can be integrated in hydrogen
infrastructures and electrolysers, resulting inlargely reduced production costs for greenhydrogen. This has been concluded andquantified from an in-depth feasibility study,
carried out in cooperation with a large European
energy corporate.

Fujifilm is the world’s largest imaging company.
Many of Fujifilm’s new products find their roots inthe company’s original product: photographic
film. However, our activities nowadays extend
over a much wider area then only photographic
film. Using the experience and know-how from
our imaging history, we have diversified into many
new markets. Today more than 70% of the
products sold by Fujifilm have been developed
over the last decade. These include medical andlife science applications. But also highly
functional materials have been developed forsemiconductor, photovoltaic, automotive, water
treatment and gas separation applications.
Based on our long standing knowledge in coating
thin functional layers onto substrates, Fujifilm isdeveloping membranes for various industries. The
first achievements of Fujifilm membrane
technology are in the field of water purificationand natural gas treatment. In those businessareas, membranes are increasingly competing on
price and performance with conventional
purification techniques. The development of
Fujifilm’s ion exchange membranes and gas
separation membrane technology takes place at
the R&D labs of Fujifilm in Tilburg, The Netherlands
and in Tokyo, Japan.
With the growing need for green energy andcarbon neutral future, hydrogen electrolyser
technologies become an important cornerstone
to meet the national, European and global CO2
reduction targets. Membrane technology will play
an important role in this for with several
electrolyser types like Alkaline, PEM or AEM.
Besides the technology, economy of scale will be
required to meet cost down targets for greenhydrogen as indicated by the international
institutes and governmental roadmaps.

Future Proof Shipping (FPS) offers zeroemissions marine transportation services toenable players across the value chain make thetransition to zero-emissions. We are connecting

H2 Circular Fuel is a Dutch company. It has
specialized in building applications to extract H2from H2Fuel (NaBH4), reducing it to NaBO2 and toregenerate this Spent Fuel back to NaBH4.
H2Fuel is a patented technology for the
production, storage and release of hydrogen. For
its production, no electrolysis is required. The
hydrogen is stored under normal atmosphericconditions in a powder. Release takes place
without additional energy, using ultrapure water.
Not only is one hundred per cent of the hydrogen
stored in the powder released but, as a bonus,
the same amount of hydrogen is released fromthe water, as well.

61

In dry powder form, the hydrogen can be stored
for an unlimited period, is in energy terms the
maximum attainable result, has no safety risks
and, throughout the production process fromproduction through consumption, features noharmful emissions at all. Once the hydrogen has
been issued, the residual substances can be
returned to the powder state with hydrogen
stored in them: this makes H2Fuel the world’s
first circular fuel. H2Fuel can be deployed in all
sectors of society and the economy and, as aresult, forms by far the preferable alternative toboth fossil fuels and other sustainable
alternatives.

Hydrogen extracted from water is widely seenas the most valuable alternative fuel.
H2O introduces the ‘next generation’ hydrogen
powered home heating systems. The system

heat.

generates hydrogen. Burning hydrogen makes
sure the system generates energy andsubsequently supplies heat for house warming
and tap water.

The system’s unique points are being a ‘closed
system’ that ‘on location’ and ‘on demand’

The critical elements ‘closed’ and ‘on location’imply no transport, no infrastructure nor any
storage of gas is required. Dangerous andexpensive transport and storage are completely
eliminated. The key element ‘on demand’ implies
that the H2O systems generates hydrogen ‘onlocation’ and ‘on call’ when the consumer turns
on the system needing heat or heated tap water.
This high potential research company holds theIntellectual Property (IP). Currently worldwide isno comparable system available. The Company’s
potential is based on international expansion as
well as financial performance, shareholder andstakeholder value.

H2Storage is a 100% Dutch company withexperienced executives (from the energy,
composites, aviation and automotive sectors) as
the driving force behind this successful start-up.
By combining our years of experience gained
from the aforementioned sectors we developed
a viable solution for long term energy storage.
We have fulfilled an essential step towards ahydrogen economy by introducing the use ofhigh pressure lightweight composite storage
tanks from recyclable material to storehydrogen. Now we have an alternative solution
to store more hydrogen under high pressure in
the whole supply chain, from production all theway till the end user. This can be realized bytype 4 composite cylinders with NWP of 700 bar.
Portfolio of H2Storage consists of single

lightweight composite cylinders and standard
10-45ft container containing tenfold(s) of these
cylinders including the essential appendages forhydrogen storage. The solution to store locally,transport and use locally (e.g. an off-grid(emergency)generator) large quantity ofhydrogen. These products are developed
according to the International (ISO/ADR/ADN/
TPED) and European standards (R134) for the
automotive, shipping, stationary andtransportation industry.
Currently we are fully involved in, among otherthings, the SHIP2DRIVE consortium, therealization of a sustainable inland vessel andthe realization of a sustainable excavator.
Naturally, our role is to realize the most efficientstorage and transport of hydrogen systems.

H2O systems are designed for consumer use insingle home units and in the future also available
for multiple units and apartment buildings. The
system is developed as an alternative for thecurrently used fossil fuel powered systems. The
system is fully emission (CO2) free.

HyET Hydrogen is an international company
based in Arnhem, the Netherlands. HyET
Hydrogen is a leading SME in the field ofelectrochemical hydrogen compression,
extraction and separation, also referred to as
Hydrogen Processing Technologies. HyET
Hydrogen was founded in 2008. HyET has
introduced the first commercially viable
Electrochemical Hydrogen Compressor (EHC) in2017. HyET enters partnerships with key
stakeholders all over the world to develop
products with a focus on application within the
Hydrogen value chain. HyET’s headquarters arelocated in Arnhem, the Netherlands and is run by
an experienced interdisciplinary team. HyET
Hydrogen had expanded its focus to the USA witha subsidiary, HyET Hydrogen LLC based inColorado. HyET’s Electrochemical Hydrogen

Compression (EHC) is completely silent, safe,
cost effective, energy efficient and has no moving
parts. The fact that the electrochemicalcompressor has no moving parts is also
advantageous because it avoids wearing of parts
which reduces the overall maintenance costs. The
absence of moving parts contributes significantly
to the reduction of maintenance costs and theprevention of damage, when compared tomechanical compressors. HyET’s Electrochemical
Hydrogen Processing technologies cansignificantly lower CAPEX and OPEX in the H2
supply chain for many existing industrial H2markets as well as for the upcoming FCEV
markets. Besides compression of Hydrogen,
HyET Hydrogen also developed a technology
which can extract and purify Hydrogen frommixed gas streams.

Our company is built on a vision that Hydrogen
will be the fuel of the future. Once this happens,
the current supply method of central hydrogenproduction and delivery by road transportation is
no longer an economically viable option.

Most industrial gases in the bulk segment are
produced at central locations and delivered to theend-users by road transportation. This method of
supply is inefficient and expensive as the amountof gas that can be delivered is bounded by thelimitations of the storage capacity on the trailers
and distances are often large.

Hysolar, founded in 2019, focuses on greenhydrogen for mobility. In our vision, greenhydrogen is a key element in a circular economy.
Relying on practical experience in combination
with scientific know-how we develop greenhydrogen ecosystems, where continuous
innovation is crucial. Hysolar activities are
threefold:
1.	The supply of green hydrogen as of 2021 in
Nieuwegein (NL) by opening our public 350
and 700 bar Hysolar / Greenpoint hydrogen
refuelling station.
2.	Using local solar power and green electricity
from the grid, Hysolar realises a 2-2,5 MW
electrolyser to supply 250 tons of greenhydrogen starting Q2 2023. To make theelectrolyser an integrated part of the energy
system, it will be utilized for the dispatchable

capacity of the national grid operator.
Moreover, the residual heat will be used locallyto reduce the consumption of natural gas.
3.	Innovation and consultancy activities tosupport businesses, local governments andother parties in their transition towards greenhydrogen.
Over the years we have helped municipalities andbusinesses with our innovation and consultancy
activities. We’ve developed solutions in which
grid congestion is solved by producing greenhydrogen and we work closely together with aninland shipping company to decarbonize theiractivities. Last but not least our innovative ‘dual
fuel’ solution has led to the launch of the firsttractor on hydrogen. We are busy applying thisinnovation to other heavy machinery such as
excavators.

Hystream develops and realizes state-of-the-art
local green hydrogen solutions. Our objective is todecarbonise society by realising end-to-end
green hydrogen solutions for mobility, such astransport, cars, inland shipping and utility
buildings. As such, we are committed to realize
and manage an emission-free hydrogen value
chain that simultaneously creates value for all
stakeholders involved in this value chain. Our
collaboration with local partners andstakeholders is central to this. In this way we canaccelerate the energy transition locally and makeindustry and mobility more sustainable. Our
partners can provide all the necessary elementsof the hydrogen value chain.

Our solutions resolve grid congestion problems,
provide zero-emission construction power andmake hydrogen available on-demand at different
locations. Examples of current projects arehydrogen-based stable supply of green electricity
whenever and wherever required, the local
production of green hydrogen from solar or wind
power and the realization of filling stations for the

Royal Van Twist is a family owned business with ahistory of more than 180 years. 80 years ago the
distributorship for Perkins Engines was acquired.
Based on the strong core engine Royal Van Twist
started the development for gas fuelled engines
40 years ago. This resulted in the approval as
Perkins official gas partner in 2014. The current
gas engine range goes from 10 to 1200 kilowatt
electrical.
During the 40 years of history we developed agreat amount of knowledge with a large variety ofgasses as Natural gas, Biogas and LPG. The last
10 years we have focused on gasses with a low
methane number, mainly for thermal waste
recycling processes. During these processes
waste as tires, plastics, MDF and even medical
waste is heated to high temperatures resulting in
products like nafta (raw gasoline), carbon black,active coal and ash. As by-product a waste gas is

produced. This is used as fuel for the gas
generator providing electricity to the grid).
As low methane gasses could cause serious
engine damage we have developed our own
engine control systems. The systems are tested
in our state of art in-house test facility.
As hydrogen could be considered as a gas with alow methane number we asked ourselves if itwould be possible to use hydrogen as a fuel forour engines. After a positive conclusion from thefeasibility study during the first half of 2019 westarted the technical design at the end of 2019.
The design includes a custom-built hydrogen
injection block which is connected to the inlet
manifold of the engine. The hydrogen engine was
first started in October 2020. The first preproduction engines will be available for trail
applications in the first quarter of 2021. Fullproduction will start by the end of 2021.

MTSA Technopower develops decentralizedenergy management systems that convert green
electricity into hydrogen and vice versa to makegreen energy available 24/7 and to prevent peakloads from solar and wind farms on the electricity
grid.
Sun and wind energy is sustainable, CO2 free andcan be generated almost anywhere. On location,
however, most of the day’s yield is usually
produced in just a few hours, while during the restof the day hardly or no green power is available.
Often the 80/20 rule applies.
Another obstacle to the large-scale application ofsolar and wind energy is the current grid capacity.
This is often not sufficient to handle peak
production from (planned) wind and solar parks.

MTSA Technopower offers a solution. MTSA
Technopower develops product lines for:•	Power to Gas (P2G): Electrolyser systems forthe production of green hydrogen in thecapacity range of 1-10 MW.
•	Gas to Power (G2P): Fuel cell systems for the

Neptune Energy is the largest gas producer on
the Dutch part of the North Sea. We are experts
in producing and transporting molecules;
whether those are gas or hydrogen molecules.
We are moving towards a climate-neutral energy
system that is reliable and affordable. The key
lies in the integration of the offshore energy
systems on the North Sea. It has an extensive
gas infrastructure and offers opportunities forlarge-scale wind energy, green hydrogenproduction and CCS. We believe that greenhydrogen is vital to the energy transition. That
is why we are participating in PosHYdon, theworld’s first offshore green hydrogen production
pilot. The pilot aims to integrate 3 energy
systems in the North Sea: offshore wind,offshore gas and hydrogen by producing greenhydrogen from seawater on our Q13a-A platform.
The aim of the pilot is to gain experience ofintegrating working energy systems at sea andthe production of hydrogen in an offshore
environment. “The Netherlands is in a special
position as, in addition to an extensive gas
infrastructure network, we can harvest large
amounts of wind energy in the North Sea,
quantities that are also importantinternationally. The wind energy can be used
to generate hydrogen, which can then betransported onshore along with natural gas via
existing pipelines for industry, the transport
sector and for Dutch homes. PosHYdon is key
to accelerating this.” In February 2022 Neptune
with consortium partner RWE announced thenext step towards large scale green hydrogenproduction further off shore on the North Sea
ahead of 2030: H2opZee. We aim to build 300500MW electrolyser capacity and transport thegreen hydrogen via an existing pipeline to shore.

NOGAT system has the capacity to transport

approximately 10 -12 GW of wind power in theform of green hydrogen. A pilot project bringing
together offshore wind, hydrogen production
and transportation is being prepared at one of
the connected platforms and is expected to be
on stream in 2026. NOGAT is member of theEuropean Clean Hydrogen Alliance andconsortium partner in PosHYdon, H2opZee,

North Sea Port is taking a lead in the energy andclimate transition and playing the hydrogen card.
As one of the Europe’s ten largest ports and oneof the top industrial regions of Western Europe,
North Sea Port is in an excellent position tosecure a leading role in the production, storage,transit and distribution of green hydrogen as asustainable energy source and circular raw
material. The cross-border port area is alreadythe largest hydrogen cluster within the Benelux
countries, producing and consuming 580,000
tonnes of the gas every year. The unique
combination of the steel and chemicals
industries and the presence of large solar andon/offshore wind farms enable interactions
between major players committed to greening
and sustainability who are using hydrogen as alever to that end. Several projects to build
electrolysers and installations to converthydrogen into synthetic fuels and raw materials
are at the construction stage and will be
operational in the near future. In many cases,
these are ‘first of their size’ projects. North Sea
Port and its partners are also further developing
the necessary basic pipeline infrastructure tolink together supply and demand. They are
working towards a marketplace for hydrogen as
an indispensable link in a value chain extending
beyond the port area. In addition, the port isreleasing more than 400 hectares forinvestments that will reinforce this circular
dynamic and pave the way for sustainableeconomic growth and jobs. The strategy andaims of North Sea Port are in line with theobjective shared by Europe, the Netherlands,
Belgium and Flanders of a climate-neutral andzero-emission future.

Our aim is to make Dutch society moresustainable through the development andapplication of hydrogen technology and fuel cells.
We do this by means of the following activities:

Due to environmental and climate challenges, thedemand for more sustainable mobility is growing.
There are good alternatives to petrol and diesel
available, but the availability of these alternatives
is not yet optimal. NXT Mobility is a total concept
to make mobility more sustainable. We offer
climate-neutral mobility cards and charging
solutions for electric vehicles. With NXT Energy
Hubs, our filling stations of the future, we alreadyoffer less environmentally and climate-damaging

fuels and energy solutions. We increase theavailability of more sustainable fuels and makethe energy transition locally possible. In addition
to traditional fuels, we offer more sustainablevariants at our NXT Energy Hubs such as LNG,
HVO, electricity and hydrogen. The first hydrogen
filling point will be realised mid 2022 at our
NXT Energy Hub in Alkmaar. The second will be
opened at the end of 2023 at our NXT stationin Westzaan.

The Port of Amsterdam is currently one of theleading energy hubs in Europe with availability oflarge scale flexible tank storage terminals,
supported by extensive blending infrastructure
for oil products, and its role as a supplier ofkerosene to Schiphol Airport through a direct
pipeline.
The Port of Amsterdam is however strongly
committed to play an active role in the transition
towards sustainable energy production and use inboth local, regional, national and international
supply chains. The Port of Amsterdam therefore
aims to become the largest hub for the storage,
blending and transit of renewable and synthetic
fuels in Europe. In addition, it enhances theinvestment climate for existing and newcompanies to establish production facilities forthese types of fuels.

The port is working closely with different partners
to establish new value chains based on for
example hydrogen, synthetic kerosene, andmethanol. Therefore the proposal presented by
the Port of Amsterdam reflects the strategy of theport in the development of creating the ‘building
blocks’ for the Future Fuels Hub containing thefollowing clusters of projects:
Infrastructure projects•	Regional Integrated Backbone (RIB):
development of a newly constructed regionalhydrogen pipeline connecting production sites(e.g. project Hermes / 100 MW electrolysis with
Nouryon and Tata Steel) as well as the nationalhydrogen backbone, with partner Gasunie.
•	Development of a hydrogen distribution
network in the port area.
•	Development of a (green) CO2 distribution
network in the port.

Rotterdam is the largest energy hub in Europe
and is a frontrunner in the energy transition.
Hydrogen is a key element in this transition.
Together with its partners, the Port of Rotterdam
is working on a series of projects to develop the
production, use, infrastructure, import and transitof hydrogen. The H-vision project is focused on
the production of blue hydrogen. Regarding greenhydrogen, several companies are making plans toensure that an electrolysis capacity of 500 MW
will be operational by 2025. This capacity has tobe scaled up to 2 GW by 2030, among other things
by realising 2 GW of additional wind at sea,connected to Rotterdam. For the exchange ofhydrogen between companies, there will be ahydrogen pipeline through the port area in 2024.
This is a boost for the development of a physicalhydrogen market, and so is the realisation of ahydrogen exchange.

Together with a large number of partners, the Portof Rotterdam is examining the import and transitof hydrogen from overseas, to replace the current
European energy imports (oil, coal). This is donewith parties from many countries, ranging from
Iceland to Australia and from the Middle East to
South America. To be able to accommodate theseimports, the focus is on realizing terminal
facilities in Rotterdam and a robust infrastructure
to the hinterland, especially hydrogen pipelines to
Chemelot and North Rhine-Westphalia.
Simultaneously, the application of hydrogen is
encouraged, as fuel for industry and the transport
sector, and as raw material for chemical products.
Current projects include one that is aimed athaving 1,000 hydrogen-powered trucks on theroad between Rotterdam, North RhineWestphalia and Antwerp by 2025, and projects on
the use of hydrogen as a fuel for inland shipping.

support both leading companies in the hydrogen
industry, as well as Dutch government on thechallenges of this quickly developing andinnovative industry.
We help solve these important problems, withour broad industry knowledge, deep technicalfinancial expertise and thorough understandingof the technical challenges. We help companies
turn their (infrastructure) projects with highcapex and uncertainties into a success or assist

governments in kickstarting a hydrogen market
and infrastructure by tapping into all
opportunities to optimise their investments. We
assist companies and governments with
understanding the challenges related tohydrogen projects and ensure these projects are
optimally prepared for access to (equity)

Resato is a Dutch provider of smart high pressure
solutions with the aim to increase theproductivity of its worldwide customers. It is our
mission to meet and exceed the expectations of
our customers. With more than 25 years ofexperience in high pressure technology, we are
equipped with the knowledge to provide reliable
and safe solutions. We want to support thehydrogen mobility sector with our high pressure
solutions.
Therefore we have developed hydrogen refuelling
stations to tackle the ‘chicken and egg’ dilemma:
there is a lack of hydrogen filling stations due to ashortage of hydrogen cars, and vice versa.
Resato’s vision is to meet this challenge withcompact and efficient refuelling solutions that
support the development of a hydrogen economy.

For smaller hydrogen-powered vehicle fleets,
such as cars and buses, hydrogen is still not
readily available. By developing a compact andcost-efficient refuelling station (Fleet Owner
Station), the first step has been taken to breakthrough the high investment and make it possible
for companies with fleets to refuel with hydrogen.
This way, the number of hydrogen filling points
can be increased. When demand grows, thecompact stations can be replaced by a centrally
located public hydrogen station, where you canrefuel your car within 3 minutes. This makes it
easy to expand the network by relocating thecompact filling stations.

Samotics seeks to address the factors that
contribute towards an efficient operation ofAC-driven rotating assets, and with it reduce
electricity consumption and GHG and carbon
emissions. AC motors are an integral asset
across various industries. These motors however,
have critical problems, such as failing
unexpectedly, being used inefficiently, and being
selected inadequately (right sizing). Energy
waste occurs as a result of all three of thesefactors. Samotics strives to solve these threeissues by providing a combined energy andcondition monitoring service, called SAM4.
SAM4 is a plug-and-play solution and service for
critical AC motors and rotating equipment. SAM4

utilizes electrical signature analysis (ESA) andpowerful AI-driven algorithms, which use voltage
and current data of AC motors and rotating
equipment. This data is obtained by plug-andplay, easy to install (and scale), SAM4 hardware,
which is installed in the easy to reach and safe
environment of the motor control cabinet of theassets, instead of on the assets themselves.
To date Samotics has 120+ clients to whichenergy and condition monitoring services areprovided and is monitoring thousands of assets inthe field. Moreover, Samotics has multiple global
partnerships, amongst others with Schneider
Electric. Would you like to get know more about

Currently hydrogen is not (yet) regulated,
however going forward this may change. The
government might put rules in place for network
management, (third party) access and network
tariffs.
Without exception, collaboration between
parties (public and private) in hydrogen projects
is key. The parameters for this collaboration are
set during the first phase of a project and arereflected in joint venture agreements andconcession models. In this respect, regulatory
limitations, tendering issues, spatial planning,
engineering and construction arrangements,
state aid and financial issues need to be
identified and resolved. Subsequently,
agreements must be made regarding source
exploitation, grid management, supply, storageand offtake. Each of these issues has its own

dynamics and requires close cooperation andcoordination, taking into account potential
carbon costs, applicable tax credits and subsidy
schemes.
Our multi-disciplinary team uses its extensive
know-how in all legal areas that are necessary
to realise your hydrogen project. The membersof our Hydrogen team have many years ofexperience in the field of energy law regulationand energy contracting, in renewable energy

an W&S RS350S DN50 regulator built in. The
station was equipped with BMA and BDA system
couplings to connect the PLEXOR inspection
system. A UNIGAS 300 electronic volume
converter was used to measure and recordpressure, temperature and flow. For several
tests, the PLEXOR inspection system was used.
The conclusion is that the station can be

XINTC is shaping the future of hydrogen by
developing, producing and marketing modular,
scalable industrial alkaline electrolysers (AEL)in the power range from 150kW to 20+ MW at
the desired purity and with a variable output
pressure between 1 bar (14.5 Psi) and 30 bar(435.1 Psi). XINTC electrolyser systems can beused in a wide variety of applications, ranging
from mobility to build environment and industry.
They are very well suited for dynamic operationand direct connection to renewable energy
sources (PV-field, wind turbines). Each systemcomprises a family of interconnecting gas
modules, supported by all necessary supporting
components and auxiliary systems for

operational performance and plant safety.
Gas modules are equipped with embedded
electronics and smart control software, allowing
the electrolysis process to run smoothly at
maximum efficiency. System design is based on
product configuration rather than custom
engineered solutions. In order to execute
capacity expansion rapidly, XINTC uses modular
and standardized components. Time-consuming
EPC procedures therefore belong to the past. To
satisfy future demand throughput, capacity is
expandable in chunks of 3,6kW. Efficiency, lowoperating costs, ease of use, and high safety
standards are key values of XINTC electrolyser
systems.
