The energy transition, or energy system transformation, is the shift from using fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal to sustainable energy sources like solar and wind energy. This transition is necessary to combat climate change and ensure a sustainable future. It requires significant changes in technology, infrastructure, policy and behavior to make energy consumption more efficient and environmentally friendly.
The energy transition is leading to a growing need for excavation work in the Netherlands. The installation, replacement and reinforcement of cables and pipelines increasingly requires work to be carried out underground. Careful excavation is essential, as damage to data cables can disrupt internet, television and telephone services, causing inconvenience for users and costs for companies and society.
This case study highlights the challenges, expertise and detailed process involved in testing liquid hydrogen (LH2, chemically H₂) systems, based on the experience of Kiwa as an independent testing laboratory. To understand what this work entails, this case study takes you through the landscape in which LH₂ technology is developing, the capabilities of Kiwa and the step-by-step testing process that customers can rely on.
The use of hydrogen as a sustainable energy carrier is growing rapidly, particularly in mobility and storage applications. For manufacturers of hydrogen tanks and components, this means an increasing need to comply with complex and diverse standards, ranging from automotive regulations to international transport legislation. Kiwa supports this development with a complete package of testing and certification services.
Hydrogen is playing an increasingly important role as a sustainable energy carrier, both for vehicles and for stationary applications and transport storage. The storage tank is a crucial component: without a safe, reliable and leak-tight cylinder, the safe use of hydrogen is simply not possible. What does it take to test hydrogen tanks and components? And how do we ensure that only products of proven quality and safety reach the market?
