DNV, the independent energy expert and assurance provider, launched its new Technology Centre on Groningen’s Zernike campus in the Netherlands.
The new, sustainable facility is equipped with the latest testing equipment to support DNV’s research into the decarbonisation of energy systems.
According to DNV, the Technology Centre will articulate research and technology qualification for the energy sector around several axes, aiming to demonstrate and qualify low-carbon technologies, optimise and repurpose existing gas infrastructure, provide innovative metrology for energy systems, lead research on hydrogen & H2-derived fuels and conduct safety analyses and failure investigations.
The new Groningen facility is part of DNV’s network of Technology Centres that leverage the group’s century-old experience in the maritime and energy sectors to qualify and apply advanced technologies for global transformations.
Prajeev Rasiah, DNV’s executive vice president for Energy Systems in Northern Europe, commented, “We expanded our global hydrogen network of multidisciplinary experts over the last few years, and we are keeping this momentum going with several Technology Centre updates globally this year, including the opening of this major Technology Centre in Groningen.”
