Hydrogen production processes
Green hydrogen is produced from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, following the process of electrolysis, whereby water molecules are split into oxygen and hydrogen molecules using electricity.
The Hydrogen Revolution
Zero-emission transportation, greater flexibility of the electricity grid and cleaner industrial processes are all necessary to realise energy transition. Hydrogen, thanks to its characteristics, has the potential to contribute significantly to the achievement of this ambitious goal. Kiwa, thanks to our expertise in the gas sector and to our wide knowledge of related infrastructures, has a unique stance in the hydrogen market. We are active at national and international levels for technical assistance, testing, inspection and certification of solutions dedicated to this supply chain.

Hydrogen distribution and transportation
One of the main fields of application for which hydrogen is being explored is the conversion of conventional gas distribution networks into hydrogen networks.
Hydrogen storage
Another challenge for the entire hydrogen supply chain, and specifically for car manufacturers, is storage. Hydrogen has a very low density, which means it has to be stored at high pressure. Kiwa offers services like certification, testing and inspection for hydrogen storage.
Hydrogen Appliances and Fuel Cells
The heating industry can play a leading role in the technological reconversion and consolidation of the hydrogen supply chain.
Hydrogen Mobility and Refueling stations
Hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources can make an important contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport. Kiwa has an extensive test laboratory for hydrogen vehicle components.
Hydrogen in industrial processes
Hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources can make industry less dependent on natural gas and coal, improving the sustainability of energy-intensive industrial processes.
