Green hydrogen on the move

Green hydrogen represents one of Allied Waters’ focal areas, ‘enabling the energy transition’. Recent developments illustrate how green hydrogen is rapidly developing in various projects, as regards to both production and application. Although overall market developments are slower as compared to original expectations, green hydrogen is still moving on, alive and kicking! 

Hysolar officially certified 

Hysolar (Home) is national frontrunner in production and supply of green hydrogen. Recently Hysolar successfully finalized the certification process according to the EU schedule for RED compliant RFNBO (Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin), say green hydrogen. Read the full article here (Hysolar gecertificeerd voor productie en distributie van groene waterstof). Allied Waters is co-founder and shareholder of Hysolar. 

Local energy hubs 

Congestion of the electricity grid has become a major obstacle at numerous industrial districts in The Netherlands. An energy hub may offer a solution: an integrated system where local generation of (renewable) electricity, conversion, storage and use are balanced. Green hydrogen offers great potential for this purpose, complementary to battery storage. Allied Waters/EnergyLabNL is heavily involved in projects focused on developing a robust, sustainable and affordable decentralized energy system at industrial districts. 

Heavy duty trucks 

For mobility the main role of green hydrogen pertains to heavy duty jobs including transport by trucks. Next to electric hydrogen trucks using fuel cells, new trucks equipped with a hydrogen combustion motor are offered in the market. Green hydrogen replaces diesel fuel in the latter. December 2025 Jos Scholman contractors have acquired their first hydrogen trucks. They fulfil the requirements for their operation: flexibility, sufficient action radius and rapid reloading. Read further here (Waarom Jos Scholman blijft investeren in waterstof – en welke uitdagingen dat met zich meebrengt – Jos Scholman). 

Sustainable water source 

Next to renewable electricity production of green hydrogen by electrolysis requires water of ultrapure (UP) quality. In a specific case brackish surface water appeared to be the best available source locally. Allied Waters designed a dedicated treatment line based on the philosophy (1) minimizing the use of treatment chemicals and (2) developing a beneficial use of all side streams, the UPzero® concept. Read more here (Thirsty hydrogen – Allied Waters). 

Hysolar upgrades storage capacity 

Ideally green hydrogen production follows the availability of renewable electricity. This helps reducing the congestion of the electricity grid. Sufficient hydrogen storage capacity is an important condition in this context. Hysolar received state funding through the national SWIM program for expanding the storage capacity. A next step towards a future proof operation!
