Energy: Consumption

The energy transition, for example in industry, demands a lot from both consumers and producers developing products. What is wise and feasible?
Transport & distribution of energy

Energy: Transport and distribution

As a grid operator, operator of hydrogen refueling stations and in the industry, the shift to hydrogen brings many challenges. What is technically and economically feasible?
Energy generation

Energy: Generation and storage

Energy generation, storage and usage are increasingly being carried out by companies themselves. How do you seamlessly integrate these processes?
Hydrogen fuel cell testing

Hydrogen

The transition to hydrogen involves many factors, such as technical development, economic feasibility and safety. We make this tangible in our test labs.

Biomethane

Biomethane plays a key role in the energy transition. Producing biomethane and injecting it into the natural gas network requires careful monitoring and mandatory quality controls. We make this concrete through audits, sampling, gas analyses and gas cameras.
Heatpump testing

Heat pumps

The entire heat pump system must meet quality requirements and European regulations. How do you demonstrate safety and performance?

What is the energy transition?

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.

FTIR: Identification of (undersired) liquids in gas distribution networks - natural gas condensate

Sometimes liquids occur unintentionally in the gas distribution network. These include, for example, condensed gases from the gas network, often referred to as ‘natural gas condensate’. Liquids in the gas network can be harmful to both human health and the environment. Therefore, correct procedures for removing these liquids are essential. The procedures depend on the type of liquid, which cannot always be determined by visual inspection. Fortunately, there is a solution: infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). This measurement method makes it possible to identify the type of liquid.

Kiwa conducts decarbonization scan for Vitens Spannenburg site

At the request of Dutch drinking water company Vitens, Kiwa conducted an energy and decarbonization scan for Spannenburg, the largest drinking water production site in the Netherlands. The scan provides insight into Spannenburg’s energy consumption and explores possible measures to make the site more sustainable. The results provide building blocks for further steps towards reducing CO2 emissions.

Research into the vulnerability of data cables during manual digging

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.
