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 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?
Hydrogen regulations: Compliance by design
Hydrogen technology innovations face delays due to complex regulations. Discover Kiwa's compliance by design approach to accelerate your projects.
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.
