The North as a frontrunner of the hydrogen economy, that is what HyNorth is fully committed to. We are ready for companies, knowledge institutions, governments and other stakeholders in the field of hydrogen in the Northern Netherlands.
Setting up a hydrogen economy: no one can do it alone. The challenges faced by an individual company are complex and time-consuming. That’s why HyNorth, with support from the regional business community, governments, and knowledge institutions, acts as a chain coordinator to drive the development of hydrogen value chains in the Northern Netherlands.
The Northern Netherlands Hydrogen Investment Plan as a solid base
The Northern Netherlands was, is, and will remain the energy region. The unique position of the Northern Netherlands to successfully realize the green hydrogen economy is due to:
- An excellent port infrastructure and high-quality mobility network.
- A strategic location on the North Sea, enabling large-scale offshore green electricity production.
- The import of green electricity through grid connections with Norway and Denmark.
- The existing gas transport and storage infrastructure, which can be effectively and efficiently adapted for green hydrogen.
- The presence of large-scale chemical clusters and other industries as off-takers.
- A high-quality knowledge and innovation infrastructure to support the necessary developments for establishing a hydrogen economy in the Northern Netherlands and beyond.
Discover how HyNorth has translated these strengths into a bid book for the Northern Netherlands.
