Kiwa is proud to collaborate with Hydriven, the student team from the University of Twente and Saxion University of Applied Sciences, focused on developing a hydrogen-powered race car for the Formula Student competition. In this video, the team shares insights about their race car and what they aim to achieve with it.

Many people think of hydrogen as something new—a futuristic technology that has only recently gained attention. This isn’t entirely true. Hydrogen has been used for decades in industrial processes. However, numerous misconceptions still surround hydrogen, especially as it gains prominence in the energy transition. Let’s debunk some of these myths.

Is your industrial organisation ready for the energy transition? Many Dutch industrial companies are facing increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption, driven not only by societal expectations but also by stricter regulations. With the ambition to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and a CO₂ reduction of 55% by 2030, the government expects companies to actively contribute to decarbonization. The question is: how can your business prepare and what role can hydrogen play in this?   

The energy transition involves significant changes: phasing out fossil fuels and switching to sustainable, clean energy sources. Hydrogen plays a key role in this shift. Although hydrogen has long been used in industrial processes, it is now gaining attention as a clean energy source. But why is hydrogen so vital in this transition? Let’s dive in.

As an authority in energy and water distribution, Kiwa has been involved in testing and certifying materials used in gas, water and other pipeline systems for years. Kiwa's material experts have accumulated a wealth of experience, utilized in residual lifetime and failure assessments, resulting in a well-equipped material research laboratory that serves the entire energy and water sector.

Cooll Sustainable Energy Solutions, a Dutch specialist in innovative, sustainable heating solutions, recently received the CE GAR certificate from Kiwa for its SuperHybrid gas heat pump. This marks a significant milestone for the young company, which utilizes advanced gas adsorption technology in the SuperHybrid.
