How can the Netherlands become a frontrunner in circular electrolysers?
The Netherlands can take a leading position in the development of circular electrolysers, according to recent research commissioned by the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO). Achieving this will require stronger collaboration between stakeholders. GroenvermogenNL can play a connecting role in this process, the researchers state.
GVNL Perspective Online | How can the production of sustainable aviation fuel take off?
Aviation contributes to global warming. To counter this, the EU will require the sector to use increasing amounts of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This fuel will partly be produced using green hydrogen. It is still quite a challenge to establish this new production chain. A newly to be established Centre of Excellence is intended to help solve this puzzle. “It is a difficult task, but enthusiasm among the potential participants is high.”
GVNL Perspective Online | Fueling green hydrogen: how to secure project financing
Green hydrogen was once presented as the holy grail for a sustainable future. Today, the outlook is more pragmatic, also among investors and financiers. The potential remains clear, but the path towards viable projects is complex and capital-intensive.
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.
