A new energy system is emerging. Global warming is prompting a reduction in the harmful carbon emissions associated with our current energy systems. The transition from greenhouse gas-emitting fossil fuels to zero-carbon renewable energy generation is gaining momentum. Kiwa’s energy expertise is at the forefront of many major R&D projects across the world, supporting governments, utilities and commercial operations in this multi-faceted transition to a new energy system.
One of the ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to capture and store or use released CO₂. To do this efficiently and safely, additional knowledge is needed about the properties of materials subjected to carbon dioxide. Kiwa has therefore invested in new facilities to investigate and test with high pressure CO₂.

Following that purpose and because of all the problems surrounding gas extraction in the province of Groningen, the Netherlands was supposed to get rid of gas as quickly as possible. What is the current state of that electrification decision? Has the role of gas in the energy mix completely been played out? Kiwa conducted research and published the results in the report “How the Dutch all-electric ambition was caught up by reality”.

In particular green hydrogen, produced using sustainably generated electricity, can become a sustainable replacement for natural gas in industry, mobility and the built environment. While concrete applications of hydrogen are already fully operational, there is still much to be discovered about the properties of the gas.
