From HEAVENN to Sustainable Hydrogen Valleys

From HEAVENN to Sustainable Hydrogen Valleys is written by New Energy Coalition and Impact Hydrogen, thanks to a financial contribution from RVO & EZK

The report “From HEAVENN to Sustainable Hydrogen Valleys”, drawn up by New Energy Coalition and Impact Hydrogen, investigates the development of hydrogen regions (Hydrogen Valleys) and their impact on the economy, sustainability, and international trade. The case of HEAVENN, Europe's first Hydrogen Valley in Noord-Nederland, serves as an example for scaling up hydrogen ecosystems worldwide.

Key insights

The concept of a Hydrogen Valley

    • An integrated ecosystem in which production, storage, distribution and application of hydrogen come together.
    • The first Hydrogen Valley in Noord-Nederland attracts investments and creates an economic boost.

Success factors and challenges

    • Leveraging local value chains for energy and industrial applications.
    • Public-private partnerships and policy support are crucial.
    • International trade and knowledge sharing accelerate the development of hydrogen markets.

The Netherlands as an international hydrogen hub

    • Knowledge and expertise from HEAVENN can be deployed worldwide.
    • Trade strategies and sustainable development goals form the basis for future hydrogen regions.
