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.

Analysis of SAF allowances (FEETS) – 2024-price update

February 2025, the European Commission adopted a new support mechanism on ‘SAF allowances’: used to bridge the price gap for the use of alternative fuels to accelerate the roll out of SAF.
We reviewed this mechanism in order to assess its expected impact on supporting the development of SAF market. We conclude that the policy design would require additional policy instruments to support the broader development of the SAF market.

Current POME-based biofuels in EU fall within current production potential 

According to studio Gear Up’s numerical analysis, the current volume of POME-biofuels deployed in the EU are in the range of current production volumes of POME residues. We advise to keep a close look on the future volumes of POME-based biofuels, given the upper limits of production. Strengthening the information position of renewable fuels supply chains with more frequent auditing and historical data of POME-oil production are needed.

SAF allowances may not be the best instrument to ramp up SAF production

Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are renewable fuels that replace fossil based kerosine in aircrafts and are seen as an important option to mitigate climate emissions in the aviation sector. Generally, these alternative fuels are more expensive than their fossil counterpart, kerosene. In order to support the uptake of SAF, the European Commission has introduced several policy instruments.
