GroenvermogenNL's HyPRO Project: Leading the Green Hydrogen Revolution in the Netherlands
Key Ideas
- GroenvermogenNL's HyPRO project receives a grant of over €34.5 million, making it the largest R&D project for green hydrogen in the Netherlands.
- The consortium of 58 partners aims to improve electrolysis and plasma technology to enhance sustainable hydrogen production and reduce costs.
- The project, coordinated by TNO and University of Twente, involves 10 universities, 5 universities of applied sciences, 2 research institutes, and over 40 companies.
- Partners from multiple countries, including the UK, Italy, Denmark, and the US, contribute financially to the project, which also focuses on developing a Dutch supply chain for electrolysis materials.
GroenvermogenNL's new HyPRO project in the Netherlands has received a significant grant of more than €34.5 million, with a total budget exceeding €50 million. This project, funded by NWO, aims to lead the way in green hydrogen production technology. The consortium of 58 partners will focus on enhancing electrolysis and plasma technology to make hydrogen production more sustainable and cost-effective. By improving electrolysis technology and developing a Dutch supply chain for materials, components, and systems, the project seeks to scale up green hydrogen production. Coordinated by TNO and University of Twente, the HyPRO project involves a collaboration of universities, research institutes, and companies, including 15 Dutch hydrogen start-ups. Additionally, partners from various countries are contributing financially to the consortium. The University of Twente will work on six different projects within the consortium, focusing on areas such as membrane improvement, high-temperature electrolysis performance, and development of advanced control strategies. The HyPRO project is part of the National Growth Fund programme GroenvermogenNL and is seen as a key initiative in realizing the hydrogen revolution in the Netherlands.
