Solar energy in the Netherlands

Solar Energy

Solar energy has become an indispensable energy source. Increasing numbers of solar panels are being installed on the roofs of houses and buildings, both residential and commercial. The number of solar parks is also increasing. Whatever variant is used, it is essential to test and certify the quality. This applies not only to the solar panels, thermal collectors and solar boilers themselves but also to the mounting systems, inverters and grid connections. Our experienced specialists test and certify all aspects related to solar energy. This demonstrates safety – important for users, residents, and building insurers.

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.
