Hydrogen Revolution: Netherlands leads the way in sustainable hydrogen production
Key Ideas
  • A research project in the Netherlands, funded by over 50 million euros, is aiming to produce hydrogen sustainably with the involvement of 58 partners including Leiden University.
  • The project focuses on all aspects of green hydrogen production, aiming to address cell degradation to reduce costs and improve electrolysis technology for large-scale production.
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration between universities, research institutes, and companies from various countries is a key feature of the HyPRO consortium, emphasizing the societal impact and green energy transition.
  • The use of AI methods in hydrogen technology development is expected to accelerate progress, reduce costs, and contribute further to a sustainable future.
A research project funded by over 50 million euros from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research and industry is underway in the Netherlands, involving 58 partners from the Netherlands and abroad, including researchers from Leiden University. The project, named HyPRO, aims to produce hydrogen sustainably, focusing on all aspects of green hydrogen production. Professor Marc Koper and Rik Mom are involved in research related to electrochemical hydrogen production and cell degradation, respectively. The project aims to improve electrolysis technology to produce green hydrogen cheaply and on a large scale. The consortium is also working on developing a Dutch supply chain for materials, components, and systems. The interdisciplinary collaboration within the consortium, which includes universities, universities of applied sciences, research institutes, and companies from multiple countries, is a key highlight. Professor Thomas Bäck emphasizes the societal impact of the project, bringing expertise in data analysis, artificial intelligence, and optimization for hydrogen production. Yingjie Fan and her team are focusing on the development and implementation of AI methods to accelerate technology development and reduce costs. The project aims to contribute significantly to the green energy transition and a sustainable future. The consortium HyPRO is a collaboration of universities, universities of applied sciences, research institutes, and companies from several countries, aiming to advance flexible, durable, and high-performance Hydrogen Production Technology.
