Biomethane

Biomethane plays a key role in the energy transition. It provides a sustainable alternative to natural gas and contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions. Biomethane is ‘upgraded’ from biogas, which is produced from organic waste. It can be directly injected into the existing gas network and used in households and industries. Producing biomethane and injecting it into the natural gas network requires careful monitoring and mandatory quality controls. We make this concrete through audits, sampling, gas analyses and gas cameras.

Safe, certified and future-proof: how Kiwa supports the development of hydrogen components

The use of hydrogen as a sustainable energy carrier is growing rapidly, particularly in mobility and storage applications. For manufacturers of hydrogen tanks and components, this means an increasing need to comply with complex and diverse standards, ranging from automotive regulations to international transport legislation. Kiwa supports this development with a complete package of testing and certification services.

Testing hydrogen tanks: ensuring safety, quality and reliability

Hydrogen is playing an increasingly important role as a sustainable energy carrier, both for vehicles and for stationary applications and transport storage. The storage tank is a crucial component: without a safe, reliable and leak-tight cylinder, the safe use of hydrogen is simply not possible. What does it take to test hydrogen tanks and components? And how do we ensure that only products of proven quality and safety reach the market?

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.
