HyDelta 2 Compendium of Research

Research into the technical, economic, environmental, and social aspects of hydrogen distribution via the existing gas network.

The program HyDelta 2.0 Compendium presents the research results of the HyDelta program, an initiative to accelerate the implementation of hydrogen as an energy carrier in the Netherlands. This research, conducted by New Energy Coalition, TNO, DNV, Kiwa, a Hanze University of Applied Sciences, focuses on the technical, economic, environmental and social aspects of hydrogen distribution via the existing gas network.
