Fresh energy for the future of electrochemistry | Looking back on the 6th GVNL Electrochemistry Graduate School
From 29 June to 3 July, the 6th GVNL Electrochemistry Graduate School brought together students, researchers and experts for an inspiring week of electrochemistry, knowledge exchange and collaboration. Through lectures, poster sessions, one-minute pitches and social activities, participants explored new ideas, shared research and built valuable connections.
H2 Impactmakers: Karsten Dietvorst, External Partnership Specialist at Prodrive Technologies
In this edition of H2 Impactmakers, we speak with Karsten Dietvorst, External Partnership Specialist at Prodrive Technologies. He discusses the development of smart rectifiers for electrolysers, the challenges facing the green hydrogen market, and how innovation is helping to build a sustainable and resilient hydrogen economy.
Project plan for imported green hydrogen: watch the video with the initiators
Should the Netherlands produce green hydrogen domestically in the future, or should it primarily import this sustainable energy carrier? A new R&D consortium of industrial and research partners is exploring the latter option. Participants recently came together for two intensive workshops, each lasting two and a half days. Read about their experiences and watch the video.
ECNS 2026 connects electrochemistry from fundamentals to applications
On Monday 11 May, the 3rd Electrochemical National Symposium took place in Utrecht. Under the theme ‘Electrochemistry - From Fundamentals to Applications’, scientists, researchers, PhD candidates and industry professionals came together to share the latest developments in electrochemistry.
€20.3 Million for HyNITROGEN Consortium: Research into Sustainable Nitrogen Chemistry
The research and development consortium HyNITROGEN has been awarded €20.3 million for research into sustainable nitrogen chemistry. Within this project, companies, knowledge institutions, and governments are collaborating on new technologies for sustainable nitrogen chemistry based on hydrogen and green electrons.
COPE launched: new platform to accelerate the scale-up of green hydrogen
During the World Hydrogen Summit, GroenvermogenNL and TNO launched the Community of Practice Electrolysis (COPE). This new international initiative aims to strengthen the electrolysis testing ecosystem by better connecting companies, research institutes and testing facilities. At the same time, the first COPE position paper was published, outlining the vision behind the initiative and providing an overview of existing testing facilities.
With revolutionary technology, AVOXT is making green hydrogen production more affordable
True innovation does not build on what already exists, but starts with a blank sheet. This principle is taking AVOXT, based in North Brabant, a long way. A very long way indeed. Because the start-up has developed a completely new electrolyser from scratch that operates more efficiently than current technologies. And it has done so with the boundless ambition of making green hydrogen cheaper and more attractive to industry worldwide.
Expeditie Waterstof (Hydrogen Expedition): learning in practice in the North-West region
How do you prepare students for a hydrogen economy that is still rapidly evolving? And how do you ensure that education remains closely connected to the changing professional landscape within the hydrogen transition? In Expeditie Waterstof (Hydrogen Expedition), teachers, researchers and companies from the North West region worked together over the course of a year to explore these questions.
