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 newsGreen 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.
Green gas as an opportunity for livestock farmers
Converting manure into green gas can help address manure surpluses, reduce methane and nitrogen emissions and generate an additional source of income. But how does this work in practice?
