US and Netherlands collaborate on hydrogen technology

The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy’s Directorate General for Climate and Energy (DGC) have released a statement of intent (SOI) to work together to compile, evaluate and exchange information on hydrogen production and infrastructure technologies.

Through this initiative, real-world data from hydrogen applications will be collected to guide both future hydrogen research and development (R&D) and demonstration activities.

As part of this SOI, EERE and DOE’s Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) will exploit technological expertise and equipment and facilities at DOE’s National Laboratories to validate the efficiency and durability of electrolyzers that generate renewable hydrogen using water and electricity.

A further focus area will include lessons learned and the harmonization of protection, codes and standards in emerging areas such as hydrogen and natural gas blending.

US and Netherlands collaborate on hydrogen technology

“This partnership will help address key hydrogen R&D areas, pave the way for at-scale hydrogen demonstrations, and foster new national, regional, and worldwide hydrogen value chains. As EERE-supported hydrogen and fuel cell technologies continue to gather momentum, we, as well as DOE’s Office of Technology Transitions, are pleased to be spearheading this collaboration.”

Daniel R Simmons, EERE’s assistant secretary. 

“This new strategic cooperation between the U.S. and the Netherlands on hydrogen will foster cooperation between Dutch and American practitioners in hydrogen research, industrial demonstrations to scale-up, regions and ports, innovative small and medium enterprises, and start-ups. Together with our excellent partners in the U.S. and at DOE, our objectives are to boost necessary cost reductions for producers and consumers and to create first mover and job opportunities in new hydrogen value chains.

“I foresee a growth model, starting now with a focus on aligning necessary innovations in offshore wind, electrolyzer systems, and new industrial demand; in the future, other important sectors may be included in our mutually beneficial cooperation efforts.”

Sandor Gaastra, director General for Climate and Energy.

“When OTT first sat down with the Dutch delegation at last year’s Global Entrepreneurship Summit in The Hague, both sides immediately identified hydrogen as a critical collaboration opportunity between our two countries. Expanding on this already successful partnership will help us fulfill our commercialization objectives in the hydrogen economy and at our National Labs while further strengthening this unique and productive relationship.”

Conner Prochaska, DOE chief commercialization officer and OTT director.

The activities of the United States and the Netherlands under this cooperation will be coordinated through established global hydrogen partnerships in which both countries participate, including the International Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy (IPHE), the International Energy Agency, Mission Innovation, the Clean Energy Ministerial and the Hydrogen Energy Ministerial.

“This marks another milestone in the long-standing collaboration we have with the Netherlands through the IPHE, and other global partnerships, to collectively address technical challenges and accelerate progress in hydrogen.”

Dr. Sunita Satyapal, director of EERE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies office.

“It was a great process to elaborate on this new cooperation and to formalize it through this statement of intent. This is an example of how we want other partnerships to be targeted on cost reductions and pragmatic innovation by practitioners in both countries.

“This joint announcement leverages activities already underway through collaborations such as the IPHE, including student and postdoc fellowships to focus on key areas of bilateral interest.”

Noé van Hulst, former Hydrogen Envoy of the Netherlands.
