How do you handle these developments? Kiwa makes the energy transition tangible. We do this with tailored advice, testing, certification and training. So you can make well-informed decisions.
The various forms of energy generation and storage are increasingly being used in combination. For example, energy generated via solar panels or parks is then stored as hydrogen.
Additionally, heat pumps are used as a combined system for both generation and storage, for example, in a hot water tank or underfloor heating.
Another challenge for the entire hydrogen supply chain, and specifically for car manufacturers, is storage. Hydrogen has a very low density, which means it has to be stored at high pressure. Kiwa offers services like certification, testing and inspection for hydrogen storage.
Green hydrogen is produced from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, following the process of electrolysis, whereby water molecules are split into oxygen and hydrogen molecules using electricity.
Green gas is gaining popularity as a sustainable alternative to fossil natural gas. It helps reduce CO₂ emissions and contributes to the energy transition. But what is it exactly? And how does it differ from biogas? In this article, we will guide you through the basics of green gas, its injection into the natural gas grid and what is involved in the process.
How can your Smart Energy Hub prepare for a future where hydrogen plays a central role in the energy transition? Let’s explore some critical questions that can help your hub make strategic choices.
Many people think of hydrogen as something new—a futuristic technology that has only recently gained attention. This isn’t entirely true. Hydrogen has been used for decades in industrial processes. However, numerous misconceptions still surround hydrogen, especially as it gains prominence in the energy transition. Let’s debunk some of these myths.
Is your industrial organisation ready for the energy transition? Many Dutch industrial companies are facing increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption, driven not only by societal expectations but also by stricter regulations. With the ambition to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and a CO₂ reduction of 55% by 2030, the government expects companies to actively contribute to decarbonization. The question is: how can your business prepare and what role can hydrogen play in this?
