Heatpump testing

Heat pumps

Heat pumps are increasingly being used to heat, cool and provide hot water to buildings. This development aligns with the trend to use less gas: heat pumps are an interesting sustainable alternative to traditional boilers.

This shift means moving from an individual boiler to a system with various components that must meet quality requirements and European regulations. Kiwa makes this tangible. As one of Europe’s largest testing and certification organizations, we have our own advanced test lab for testing and certifying all aspects related to heat pumps.

What’s happening in the field of heat pumps?

Legislation regarding boilers and heat pumps is evolving. Achieving goals for the sustainability of homes and other buildings is highly dependent on this.

The demand for certified (hybrid) heat pumps and certified professionals is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. Additionally, testing and inspecting the safety, quality, performance and noise level of heat pumps remain essential, now and in the future.

Green gas: A circular opportunity for water boards

Water boards treat vast amounts of wastewater daily, leaving behind sewage sludge. This sludge presents an opportunity to contribute to the energy transition by digesting it into biogas, which can then be upgraded to green gas. By doing so, water boards can make their energy supply more sustainable and play a circular role in the energy market.

4 Reasons for waste processors to produce green gas

Waste processors play a key role in the circular economy. By converting organic waste into green gas, you can contribute to the energy transition while making your operations more sustainable. Additionally, green gas provides an extra revenue stream and helps optimize the use of residual waste.

Trends and developments in green gas

Green gas is playing an increasingly important role in the Dutch energy transition. The government is actively promoting a mix of renewable energy sources, including wind, solar and green gas. The goal is to produce two billion cubic meters (BCM) of green gas annually in the Netherlands from 2030 onwards. Let’s dive deeper into the trends, developments, and opportunities.
