Saxion is an open and accessible university of applied sciences which provides solutions to social issues through education and applied research. The current energy transition is unmistakably a big challenge for society in which Saxion is taking up its role. Both in educating young professionals to support the required work force for the transition, but also by means of application research that brings together researchers, industry and students around energy related topics. The important role of hydrogen in the transition is acknowledged and has a role in the various academies and research groups. This includes technical aspects of the hydrogen applications, but also sociological, economical and legislative aspects that play a role. Within the group of Sustainable Energy Systems, one of the research lines focusses on industrial use of hydrogen, including high temperature heating applications and the generation of green molecules. We are involved in several hydrogen related projects (e.g. RELEASE, GROHW, HYGENESYS and Hydrogen Connect 2020-2030) and are closely working together with the H2Hub Twente fieldlab (Almelo, the Netherlands). Together with the HAN University of Applied Sciences we are a strong applied hydrogen knowledge and research group in the Eastern Netherlands with a strong regional, national and international network.
