Witteveen+Bos, a renowned Dutch engineering and consultancy firm, has extensive experience in the field of (green) hydrogen – from large-scale industrial hydrogen production facilities to smaller decentralised applications in the built environment.
Our public and private clients (i.e. energy companies and grid operators) both in the Netherlands and abroad benefit from our long history in clean water and our knowledge and experience in high voltage and electrical engineering. After all, both electricity and (process) water are needed to generate green hydrogen. With our background in civil engineering, we are able to lay the groundwork for large projects in complex environments on- and offshore – from feasibility studies and conceptual, basic and detailed engineering to HSE and permitting (see 'Our services' below). We view hydrogen production as an integrated system and actively consider opportunities to integrate oxygen byproducts and reuse residual heat in our designs (e.g. at wastewater treatment plants). In addition to our technical expertise, Witteveen+Bos has extensive experience in advising the private and public sector (e.g. the Dutch government) on policies and strategies in the energy transition, including the role of (green) hydrogen. Our services:
- Advice on strategy, policy, and spatial planning
- Feasibility and scenario studies
- Environmental impact assessments
- Conceptual designs
- Basic and detailed engineering
- CAPEX, OPEX, and business case analyses
