The Hydrogen Stream: Japanese researchers develop green rust catalyst
Japanese researchers have developed a green rust–based catalyst for sodium borohydride, while South Korean scientists have created a framework to assess liquid hydrogen storage tanks for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
Netherlands ends incentive scheme for domestic PV manufacturing
The Dutch government says large-scale solar panel production is no longer viable, closing its SolarNL incentives to building- and vehicle-integrated products, heterojunction modules, and perovskite-silicon tandem panels.
Vehicle integrated PV potential measured over a million km in Netherlands, Germany
Researchers have collected data from solar sensor-equipped vehicles, racking up over a million km mainly in the Benelux and German region, to be able to make more accurate efficiency and yield predictions. The research project is part of an ongoing three-year European assessment of VIPV.
The Netherlands adds around 550 MW of small-scale solar in H1
Provisional estimates from research agency Dutch New Energy Research indicate around 550 MW of solar systems less than 1 MW in size were installed in the Netherlands across the first half of this year.
Rable offers mounting system for east-west PV systems on low-load flat roofs
The Dutch startup said it is developing markets in France, Sweden, and Belgium after completing more than 50 solar rooftop projects in its home market based on its east-west oriented, self-supported mounting system.
The Hydrogen Stream: France, Germany back nuclear H2, Southwestern Corridor
France and Germany have pledged support for the Southwestern Hydrogen Corridor and have agreed to collaborate on nuclear-based hydrogen support and joint research.
Euronergy launches new lightweight PV module series
The Dutch company said the new products have a power output ranging from 410 W to 430 W in power and an efficiency of up to 22.2%. The panels reportedly weigh 30% less than conventional counterparts.
Netherlands registers record number of negative energy prices
The Netherlands recorded more negative energy price hours over the first eight months of this year than it did throughout 2024. Dutch research firm Stratergy says the correlation between solar production and negative price hours is “becoming increasingly strong.”
Dutch heating specialist offers residential heat pump for flat roofs
WeHeat said its monoblock air-to-water heat pump features a seasonal coefficient of performance of 4.7 and propane as the refrigerant. The system is available in four versions with output ranging from 8 kW to 11 kW.
Netherlands allocates €700 million to large-scale hydrogen projects
The Netherlands has awarded €700 million ($820.5 million) to 11 companies in its second subsidy round, supporting large-scale hydrogen projects with a combined electrolyzer capacity of about 602 MW.
