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.
In the application of hydrogen excess hydrogen inevitably occurs. To prevent its release, it is essential to equip vehicles and hydrogen networks with a boil-off management system (BMS) capable of efficiently venting excess gas. Kiwa's hydrogen expert Hans de Laat wrote an article on this topic.
