Working on green hydrogen in The Netherlands

The allocated funds are expected to be made available by the Ministry of Economic Affairs & Climate at the beginning of March 2022. In anticipation of this, recent preparations have been made to be able to start as soon as possible from March 2022. This means the following for the various program components:

• The DEI+ scheme for the small-scale pilot and demonstration projects of GroenvermogenNL is expected to open in March 2022
• NWO/RVO is expected to open the first sandpit procedure for the R&D program in March/April. This would mean that the multi-day workshop of the first sandpit will take place before the summer.
• Based on an implementation plan, NWO/SIA (the governing body for practice-oriented research) and RVO are preparing funding instruments that are expected to start in the spring of 2022.

Rates, co-financing requirements, agreements on IP, etc. are elaborated by NWO and RVO in the sandpit procedure. The experiences of companies with schemes at RVO and NWO are included in this. You can send your questions or suggestions to secretariaat@groenvermogennl.org.

At the moment, all attention is being paid to developing the subsidy procedures in collaboration with. EZK, NWO and RVO. In any case, resources are allocated through transparent and open procedures, which the implementing organizations publish in a timely manner. GroenvermogenNL is a national initiative. This means that procedures are accessible to all regions and national cooperation is encouraged.
