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.
Every gas leak is one too many. Even though not every gas leak poses a direct safety risk, methane is a greenhouse gas and therefore contributes to global warming. Therefore, it is important to detect and reduce gas leaks as effectively as possible. To this end, Kiwa developed the Suction method on behalf of the European Gas Research Group (GERG), of which Kiwa has been a part for many years. To clarify how this new, accurate measuring method works, Kiwa made an explanation video.

Like Liander, Stedin and Enexis in the Netherlands, GRDF is responsible for the distribution of natural gas in France. Because France also considers hydrogen to be an important source of renewable energy, Kiwa showed about seventy GRDF employees the main differences between hydrogen and natural gas with the help of the Hydrogen Table.
Lees meerHyDelta aims to take away the technical and scientific barriers that prevent a large-scale implementation of the hydrogen economy in the Netherlands. As one of the consortium members Kiwa takes care of several work packages in which the HyDelta programme is divided. From the first week of February we’ll give a short video update on one of those work packages each Thursday right here.
