Technology Assessment Hydrogen

For: TKI Gas

[Jul – Sep 2015]

For TKI Gas, studio Gear Up analysed the technology developments of hydrogen and its application for transport and energy storage. The analysis addressed the necessity for innovation support by TKI Gas to establish synergies between the ongoing hydrogen developments and the existing gas sector in the Netherlands.

The final report (in Dutch) can be found here:
Technology Assessment Waterstof; Analyse van de mogelijkheden van verschillende waterstofketens en de rol die TKI Gas kan spelen in de innovatieondersteuning in Nederland

About TKI Gas
Clean and efficiently generated energy which strengthens the Dutch economy. This is what the Top Sector Energy, established by the Dutch government, aims to achieve. Energy innovations contribute to the reduction in costs and CO2 emissions, the development of renewable energy sources and the smarter utilisation thereof. Energy research and innovation are fundamental transition towards CO2 free Dutch energy management.
The Top Sector Energy consists of seven Topconsortia for Knowledge and Innovation (TKIs) in which business, knowledge institutions and government work together to transforming ideas into sustainable innovations and sustainable growth.
These TKIs are Offshore Wind, Gas, Switch2SmartGrids, EnerGO, Solar Energy and – shared with the Chemicals Top Sector – Biobased Economy and ISPT (sustainable process technology).
TKI Gas wants to emphatically involve the entire gas sector in the necessary transition and innovation. TKI Gas takes up various interconnected matters: greening of the actual structure of the gas market, gas as an enabler for volatile renewables such as wind and solar power, and gas as a substitute for fuels that are severely eco-polluting. TKI Gas also works on smarter production and application of gas, and on innovations in efficiency in the entire energy mix.

High blends of renewable fuels for the heavy-duty fleet in the Netherlands

KiM Netherlands Institute for Transport Policy Analysis (Kennisinstituut voor Mobiliteit – KiM) commissioned studio Gear Up to conduct research to explore the options for high-blends of renewable fuels in the heavy-duty fleet. This research served as input for KiM’s (2025) report: Renewable fuels in high blends in road freight transport , which provides recommendations for Dutch policy makers aiming to shape climate action in the road sector. The study sets out to explore alternative fuel options available to heavy-duty vehicles given that there is “uncertainty about the pace of truck electrification”.

sGU recommendations for practical certification guidelines intermediate crops

Intermediate crops are crops planted and harvested between main crops in a crop rotation scheme. Their development, on top of existing food and feed farm output, offer additional volumes of feedstocks for the bioeconomy without requiring additional land. studio Gear Up assessed the benefits of intermediate crops, the bottlenecks for their development and deployment and provided recommendations for certification of these crops in the frame of the Renewable Energy Directive.

Consequences of ETS2 implementation on A-B-C deliveries of renewable fuels

Our research for the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management shows that the introduction of the new ETS2 emissions trading system can have important consequences for these constructions. Because these A-B-C supply constructions play a major role in the Dutch fuel market, this is expected to make the use of A-B-C supplies less attractive for fuel suppliers, with market shift and concentration likely to result.
