Energy generation

Energy: Generation and storage

There is a clear shift in energy generation and storage. More and more companies and organizations are doing this themselves, either alone or together in business parks. This involves generating renewable energy forms, such as from wind, sun and heat. Innovative storage methods, such as hydrogen or hot water tanks, are also being used.

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.

What’s happing in the field of energy generation and storage?

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.

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.
