Energy transition in Noord-Holland Noord – Q2 2025 Review
From research into hydrogen applications in ports and the agricultural sector, to energy hubs and heating networks.
At New Energy Coalition We work daily with partners on a strong northern energy region. Also in Noord-Holland Noord, where the energy transition is in full swing, we are fully active. The region is developing rapidly, with innovative projects that address current challenges such as grid congestion, the sustainability of the built environment, and the use of hydrogen. In this review, we highlight the most important developments of the past quarter. Noord-Holland Noord within our coalition in a row.
The energy transformation in Alkmaar and the integration of hydrogen in the agricultural sector and the port of Den Helder
You'll read, among other things, how international programs like REFORMERS and POCITYF are contributing to the energy transformation in Alkmaar—with smart energy technology in residential areas, a collective energy hub in the Boekelermeer harbor, and energy-positive buildings throughout the city. You'll also learn how the port of Den Helder is developing a master plan for integrating hydrogen within the North Sea Hydrogen Valley Ports project, and how green shore power is being rolled out for offshore vessels. You'll also read about research by master's students from Hanze University of Applied Sciences, which has provided valuable insights for the project. Fieldlab Waterstof in Agri, aimed at the production and application of hydrogen in the agricultural sector.
