Hydrogen Mobility and Refueling stations
Hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources can make an important contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport. Kiwa has an extensive test laboratory for hydrogen vehicle components.
Energy: Transport and distribution
Hydrogen is an interesting alternative to natural gas and fossil fuels. This creates a growing need for new energy infrastructures, such as hydrogen networks and hydrogen refueling stations.
This demands a lot from the companies and organizations that want to safely transport and distribute this new form of energy. As a grid operator or operator of a hydrogen refueling station, you are at the forefront of this development. How do you handle this safely and smartly?
Kiwa has traditionally been an expert in the field of natural gas. We now apply this expertise innovatively to hydrogen. We do this with tailored advice, testing, certificationa and training. Together, we take concrete steps.
What’s happing in the field of energy transport and distribution?
We see two clear trends when it comes to energy transport and distribution, both driven by the energy transition.
The first trend is the feasibility study of converting existing natural gas networks so they can be safely used for hydrogen transport.
The second trend is the construction of refueling stations to accommodate the expected growth of vehicles for large transport powered by green gas and hydrogen.
Hydrogen distribution and transportation
One of the main fields of application for which hydrogen is being explored is the conversion of conventional gas distribution networks into hydrogen networks.

The latest news on the energy transition
Check out all the newsWhat exactly is green gas?
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.
Hydrogen in the Smart Energy Hub: Advancing the energy transition together
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.
The 5 misconceptions about hydrogen
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.
Hydrogen in Industry: The key to decarbonization
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?
