GroenvermogenNL and Shell to explore the development of an open innovation centre for electrolysers in Emmen (NL)
A testing site for hydrogen electrolysers has been proposed at NAM’s former gas purification plant in Emmen [EmmHy on the GZI Next site]. Over the coming months, GroenvermogenNL and Shell will detail their plans and seek out collaborators. Extant structures and preconditions in Emmen look promising for a rapid start to the open innovation centre.
New cooperation between TNO and GroenvermogenNL for green hydrogen innovation and upscaling
TNO and GroenvermogenNL will cooperate on green hydrogen. The two signed an agreement to this end on 6 February 2025, marking the start of a multi-year programme aimed at accelerating innovation and the scaling up of electrolysis for green hydrogen production. As a result there is now an open innovation centre where long-term testing on electrolysers can be conducted
‘The progress of the hydrogen transition is powered by market forces’ interview with Bert den Ouden, Project Director HyXchange
The EU’s regulatory pressure threatens to stall green hydrogen development, potentially leaving the Netherlands at risk of missing out. Yet, according to Bert den Ouden, Project Director at the HyXchange hydrogen exchange, there is cause for optimism. This is because, by providing market transparency, this hydrogen trading platform helps to balance supply and demand. 7 questions for Bert.
