Having been part of the hydrogen hype since its inception, we have seen the World Hydrogen Summit grow to more than 15,000 participants. After several years of hype, more realistic expectations are settling in combined with a widely felt sense of urgency.
Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier that can help address several critical energy challenges. Our Benelux Hydrogen team is dedicated to supporting and unlocking the opportunities that arise in this constantly evolving landscape. From the 'design, build and operate phase' of new infrastructure, to the development of new trading and certification models, to the evaluation of hydrogen supply chains and strategies.
“With a continued commitment to hydrogen, the Dutch coalition parties forming a new cabinet aim to contribute to greater energy independence, sustainable energy production and a favourable environment for entrepreneurship.”
