The Dutch entrepreneur Rogier Buker and the Dutch New Zealander Dirk de Jong developed a unique opportunity with their company “The Green Elephant” in Africa (Uganda). And this all with …….. elephant grass! Read more ….
The recent article in ‘Eindhovens Dagblad’ also nicely echoes the company’s main objectives; read more ….
Aarten Energy Solutions is supporting this company with achieving their goals. And we are very proud of this, because it is a development that offers important social, climatological and economic benefits for the local population.

We will post news updates on our website at regular intervals.
Production of green gas has risen sharply in 2018 Read more in the article of ‘Duurzaam Bedrijfsleven’….
Report (*) Green Liaisons (“Renewable molecules in addition to sustainable electrons – Contours of a road map Renewable Gases 2050”)
(*): commissioned by: KVGN, Groen Gas Nederland, TKI Nieuw Gas, GasTerra en Gasunie
The Netherlands can produce around 2.6 billion m3 of green gas by 2030, and about 11 billion m3 by 2050.
That is considerably more than the more than 100 million m3 that the grid operators transported in 2017. Read more ….
In 2030: 2 BCM green gas is potentially available for the built environment in NL
In a ‘Green Gas’ (**) workshop, held in November 2018 in The Hague, it was reported that it is possible to increase the production and supply of green gas in 2030 to such an extent that approximately 2 BCM for the built environment can be made available.
(**) workshop was held as part of the Follow-up Meeting Advisory Board Industry Table in the context of the activities concerning the Dutch climate agreement.
Navigant/Ecofys rapport: Gas for Climate
We have already reported on this before. The activities of, among others, Navigant/Ecofys show the enormous potential of green gas in Europe.
So when we talk about the use of green gas in the Netherlands, let’s also include the import factor. Read more ….
Groen Gas Nederland and CE Delft: Successful check on climate agreement plans for green gas in NL
The report states that green gas has a realistic potential in the Netherlands of 70 PJ (2 billion m3) per year in 2030. This results in a CO2 emission reduction of 3.6 Mton per year, plus 1-2 Mton per year in negative emissions. Read more ….

In summary
The different studies and route maps sometimes show different numbers and images, which is for many people difficult to follow.
However, all of this shows that green gas, in addition to hydrogen, can make a very important contribution to the energy transition.
More information will follow soon.
Producing hydrogen directly from solar energy and wind energy; very interesting developments from a cost and energy (energetic) point of view. More information will follow in due course.
Maritiem Nederland: Study maps feasibility of hydrogen as fuel
The 123-page study by the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule in Aachen charts the trends and perspectives for the use of hydrogen in inland navigation. According to the researchers, there is no doubt about the feasibility of hydrogen as fuel.
Zeeland gas pipeline becomes hydrogen pipeline: first step to national network.
Gasunie: the Hydrogen Coalition – concrete plans for a flying start of the hydrogen economy
A group of 27 environmental organizations, knowledge institutions, governments and companies, including Gasunie, submitted a concrete proposal last week to the negotiation tables for the Dutch Climate Agreement. Read more ….
Enpuls: Research of producing Green Hydrogen
Is the production of green hydrogen economically feasible? Enpuls researched this in collaboration with TNO and DNV GL. Read the results in 3 reports and the summary.
Note: the fact that we refer to this topic, does not mean that we endorse all conclusions. But it shows that hydrogen is in the spotlight.
We believe in large-scale application of hydrogen in the industrial field, in the built environment, and as fuel for freight traffic and shipping. It is clear that there is still work to be done.
The European partner project evRoaming4EU facilitates roaming services for charging electric vehicles. Through the independent, open OCPI protocol, consumers can be provided with transparent information about charging, charging locations and charging prices throughout Europe. The goal is that EV drivers can easily recharge their electric cars anywhere in the EU. There is now a short VIDEO available online that shows how this works and why it is so important. Read more ….
Many articles appear in the media, which could be pretty confusing to the average homeowner. We have already communicated before that a balanced approach for gas is needed. And to make all of the Netherlands homes all-electric, is not a very realistic scenario. Of course, certain (new) neighbourhoods can and will be free of natural gas. But various areas will continue to use natural gas for a long time in combination with other sustainable measures.
It is important to bring the role of sustainable gases in the spotlight. Green gas and hydrogen. Especially green gas can already be used in houses and there are already several effective solutions available. We generally have a good gas network in the Netherlands, where we can make good and smart use of it for many years to come. Read more ….
important work is done in Europe by the “Gas for Climate” initiative, which states: “Gas and its infrastructure are important today and continue to be important in 2050, providing that a shift takes place towards renewable and low carbon gas to meet the Paris Agreement target of limiting global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees. Gas for Climate: a path to 2050 advocates an affordable solution in the transition to a sustainable energy system.“. Read more ….
“To achieve the Paris Agreement target of limiting global temperature increase to well below two degrees, a major redesign of the energy system is required. This study by Ecofys, a Navigant company, explores the role of gas in a fully decarbonised energy system by 2050. We conclude that it is possible by 2050 to scale up renewable gas (biomethane and renewable hydrogen) production in the EU to a quantity of 122 billion cubic metres by 2050. We also conclude that using this gas with existing gas infrastructure, smartly combined with renewable electricity in sectors where it adds most value, can lead to €138 billion societal cost savings annually compared to decarbonisation without a role for renewable gas”.
Existing home gas burners can function perfectly if 30% of natural gas is replaced by hydrogen in the existing grid, according to engineers from British Swansey University. Read more …
