The Dutch government announced it will organise it’s $1.1bn auction for subsidies to support both investment and operating costs for green hydrogen projects from 15 October to the end of that month. This is important to the success of green hydrogen in the Dutch market but will it be enough?. Or, why Green Hydrogen needs support now.
One of the promising alternatives to fossil fuels is methanol, in which the global shipping industry is investing. Today, 99% of methanol production is based on coal and natural gas. However, DTU (Danish Technical University) scientists have developed a green method for producing biogas-based methanol. Is green methanol on the verge of breakthrough?
The transport and warehousing sector is less productive than in 2015. Dutch productivity growth between 2012 and 2022 was barely half the EU average. Investing in digitization and accelerating the fuel transition are therefore necessary, to improve productivity in the Dutch transport sector.
