Joint effort to deliver a sustainable system based on green hydrogen
About GroenvermogenNL
Within GroenvermogenNL, the R&D programme is supporting efforts to tackle technical ambiguities, accelerate cost reduction, and foster the development of innovative business models for green hydrogen. There are seven distinct research themes encompassing industrial, applied, and fundamental research.
GroenvermogenNL’s pilot programme is being used by the manufacturing sector to test and validate innovations. In this context, we use matchmaking and harness resources such as the DEI+ scheme. The programme involves projects covering the complete hydrogen chain, including production, transport, storage, and industrial applications.
GroenvermogenNL’s scaling-up programme is designed to jump-start ongoing hydrogen (electrolyser) projects by leveraging specific schemes and facilitating knowledge sharing, while also promoting the development of new demonstration projects. We are also developing a national facility for testing the endurance of green hydrogen equipment.
GroenvermogenNL’s Human Capital Agenda aims to ensure that there is an adequate pool of hydrogen professionals equipped with the requisite knowledge and skills. We actively collaborate with the education sector, businesses, government agencies and knowledge institutions to transform technical innovations into practical skills for the workforce.

Over €35 million for major R&D consortium to green the chemical industry with hydrogen
With a grant of over €35 million, GroenvermogenNL and NWO are supporting a large-scale project aimed at greening the chemical industry. Under the name HyCARB, a broad consortium of knowledge institutions and dozens of companies is conducting research into innovative, practice-oriented solutions for using hydrogen and green electrons in the production of carbon-based chemicals.
Pilot projects prove green hydrogen’s potential in the Netherlands
GroenvermogenNL aims to stimulate and accelerate the use of green hydrogen by Dutch industry to enable the energy transition. One of the ways the organisation does so is by supporting pilot projects using the Demonstration of Energy and Climate Innovations (DEI+) subsidy scheme. Some 12 different projects are currently underway which truly make innovative hydrogen applications tangible. In the province of Drenthe (NL) the decision has already been made to commercially manufacture hydrogen.
