Recently we kicked off the second phase of the HyDelta programme. A festive moment to mark the kick off and the succesfull cooperation of the HyDelta Consortium, René Schutte of Gasunie and Rob Martens of Netbeheer Nederland planted an apple tree at Kiwa’s Hydrogen Experience Center.
In HyDelta 2 the research will focus on
. economic aspects of the hydrogen system
. hydrogen safety in the gas grid
. hydrogen and transport assets
. social and environmental aspects of hydrogen
Also, for this next step, the HyDelta Consortium is extended with the partnership of Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen, who’s expertise will be covering the social and environmental aspects of hydrogen (WP 9, 10, 11).
