In the Netherlands, the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency reported that His Majesty King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands officially inaugurated a new electrolyzer for green hydrogen production near Utrecht on 4 October. Developed by Hysolar, the facility is located at the KWR Water Research Institute in Nieuwegein and was brought to life through the LIFE NEW HYTS project, funded by the LIFE Programme. The LIFE NEW HYTS project is focused on advancing the use of green hydrogen in the heavy transport and civil works sectors, particularly for trucks and other large vehicles. “This innovative project brings together local entrepreneurs, research institutions, and governments to showcase the potential of green hydrogen for road transport. It highlights the feasibility of local production, distribution, and application of hydrogen, creating the conditions for the rapid adoption of heavy commercial vehicles powered by this renewable energy source. Funded by the LIFE Programme, the newly opened electrolyzer reinforces the commitment of all stakeholders to make green hydrogen widely accessible across the Netherlands,” the agency said.
