GVNL Perspective Online | Europe’s smart hydrogen hub
The Netherlands has been a trading nation for centuries, thanks to its strategic location, strong ports and well-developed infrastructure. This now gives the country a unique opportunity to become Europe’s smart hydrogen hub. However, significant challenges in infrastructure still need to be addressed. René Peters, Business Director Energy Infrastructure at TNO, explains.
GVNL Perspective Online | A distinctive approach to the R&D programme: one call, one consortium, one project plan
The R&D programme of GroenvermogenNL follows a distinctive approach. In the calls, applicants are challenged to form a single consortium and work on one integrated project plan. Sandra de Keijzer, Head of Chemistry and Physics at The Dutch Research Council (NWO), and Paulien Herder, board member of GroenvermogenNL, explain the reasoning behind this choice.
GVNL Perspective Online | The manufacturing industry tests and proves innovations
The pilot programme of GroenvermogenNL supports the manufacturing industry through matchmaking and financial resources, for example via the DEI+ scheme. By the end of 2025, eight DEI+ projects had been approved, with a total of more than €30 million in subsidy and nearly €70 million in investment from industry. Specifically for the manufacturing industry, there is the IMKE scheme: the Investment Subsidy for the Manufacturing Industry in a Climate Neutral Economy. The IMKE scheme is intended for the production of electrolysers and electrolyser components. In 2025, two IMKE projects were launched.

AMMONEX pilot takes next step towards green hydrogen from ammonia
Duiker Clean Technologies and Plant One have signed a cooperation agreement for the realization of the AMMONEX pilot plant in Rotterdam. With this agreement, the location at Plant One is formally reserved, allowing the project to move into the next phase: the construction and testing of an innovative ammonia cracking reactor for the production of green hydrogen. The plant is expected to be ready for initial testing in the summer of 2027.

New R&D call: € 13 million subsidy for research into transport and storage of hydrogen
Om het potentieel van Nederland als leverancier voor de Noordwest-Europese waterstofmarkt volledig te benutten, is een goed ontwikkelde infrastructuur voor import, conversie, transport en opslag van waterstof en waterstofdragers noodzakelijk. GroenvermogenNL investeert hierin met € 13 miljoen voor een nieuwe R&D-call voor onderzoek naar waterstofinfrastructuur. De call opent op 3 februari en op 5 februari is een informatiebijeenkomst.
