Fieldlab Waterstof in Agri
Fieldlab for applying hydrogen innovations in the agricultural sector in practice.
Goal
Creating a unique platform for collaboration between agricultural businesses, technology companies, knowledge institutions, and regional governments for local green hydrogen. This includes: production, storage, and application of green hydrogen in energy systems and heavy agricultural machinery.
Description
Many farms are considering and experimenting with hydrogen applications. In collaboration with technology companies, they are seeking solutions for hydrogen production, storage, and use on their farms. Currently, agricultural entrepreneurs are working on this individually, even though they face similar challenges, which is slowing down the energy transition. This can be avoided by bringing parties together and tackling the challenges together. The Field Lab will serve as a catalyst by facilitating a platform where agricultural stakeholders can come together to facilitate the energy transition.
Our role
In the Fieldlab New Energy Coalition supports entrepreneurs whom are actively pursuing their plans to incorporate hydrogen applications into their businesses, particularly in the areas of technology, business cases, knowledge development, and financing. We are also focused on developing the Agri-Fieldlab and strengthening the hydrogen network in the agricultural sector in Noord-Holland Noord.
Partners
The program Fieldlab Waterstof in Agri consortium consists of 13 partners from the Netherlands. In addition New Energy Coalition take Development Company Noord-Holland Noord (ONHN), Greenport Noord-Holland Noord (GNHN), Sturm-Jacobs Agricultural Contractors (Sturm Jacobs), Next Generation Machinery BV (NGM), Rainbow Colors BV, Hydrogen Powered Solutions BV (H2PS), HYGRO Technology BV (HYGRO), Marees Cleanenergy BV (Avia Marees), Vertify, Inholland University of Applied Sciences, Clusius ROC Kop Foundation (Vonk).
In addition, we have an Expert Panel within the project with members from Rabobank, Achmea, Wageningen University & Research and the Province of Noord-Holland.
