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?

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.

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.

What exactly is green gas?

Green gas is gaining popularity as a sustainable alternative to fossil natural gas. It helps reduce CO₂ emissions and contributes to the energy transition. But what is it exactly? And how does it differ from biogas? In this article, we will guide you through the basics of green gas, its injection into the natural gas grid and what is involved in the process.
