HyPRO: Revolutionizing Green Hydrogen Production in the Netherlands
Key Ideas
  • TNO leads the HyPRO project in collaboration with Dutch institutions and international companies to optimize hydrogen technologies and reduce production costs.
  • The consortium focuses on improving common electrolysis technologies like AEM, PEM, alkaline, SOE, and plasma, aiming to make innovations market-ready.
  • Intensive collaboration between knowledge institutions and companies is key to transforming innovations into concrete products rapidly.
  • The project includes Dutch startups, enhancing their chances of success by testing innovations and fostering collaboration within the consortium.
The Netherlands is leading the way in green hydrogen production through the HyPRO project, a collaboration between TNO, Dutch universities, international companies, and startups. The project, funded by the GroenvermogenNL growth fund, aims to optimize hydrogen technologies and drive down costs over the next four years. The focus is on improving electrolysis technologies like AEM, PEM, alkaline, and SOE, as well as plasma technology. The consortium addresses challenges in each technology and strives to make innovations market-ready. Notable achievements include reducing the amount of iridium required in PEM electrolysers and developing fluorine-free membranes. The project also involves startups, allowing them to test their innovations and benefit from collaboration within the consortium. The ultimate goal of HyPRO is to strengthen the Netherlands' knowledge position in hydrogen technology, promote sustainability, and foster new business activities in the green energy sector.
