A chronological look at how Impact Hydrogen has grown since 2022.
Founded by CEO Nienke Homan (former regional state secretary who led the realisation of HEAVENN) and Managing Director Sharon Becker, headquartered in Groningen with project coordination teams across Africa, Europe, and India, working on developing Sustainable Hydrogen Valleys.
Learn more →HEAVENN integrates hydrogen production, storage, distribution and end-use across six sites in the Northern Netherlands, backed by €20M from the EU's Clean Hydrogen Partnership. Impact Hydrogen supported the roadmap and planning work underpinning this Hydrogen Valley.
Learn more →Hydrogen science diplomacy engagement with South Africa's Department of Science and Innovation, alongside Stellenbosch University and Durban University of Technology, supporting the national Hydrogen Society Roadmap through roundtable workshops.
Learn more →Impact Hydrogen ran a hydrogen hackathon in South Africa.
Learn more →A region with deep energy history and strong renewable potential, on the national hydrogen backbone and home to Spain's National Hydrogen Centre (CNH2). Impact Hydrogen set the strategic basis for establishing the valley and stood up its project management office.
Learn more →EU-funded (Horizon Europe/Clean Hydrogen Partnership) project building a just AU-EU green hydrogen transition roadmap. Impact Hydrogen works with the consortium on execution: skills development, a policy and technology integration roadmap, and EU-AU partnership advisory.
Learn more →Start of involvement in the Flevoland Hydrogen Valley, a platform launched June 2023 with 70+ partners across agriculture, maritime, mobility, logistics and storage. In December 2024, Impact Hydrogen published the first two FLHY reports, covering the project's development and its own role.
Learn more →Impact Hydrogen is building a hydrogen corridor connecting the three countries: a stable regional hydrogen economy in Namibia/South Africa, linked to Western Europe via an export corridor. Runs the corridor's socio-economic impact study using its own phased Impact Framework.
Learn more →Born from the gap that people in hydrogen-project regions often don't benefit from hydrogen themselves, still depending on carbon-intensive cooking fuels. A safe, easy-to-maintain hydrogen cooking device that also addresses the sector's chicken-and-egg demand problem.
Learn more →Proposed under the Morocco-Netherlands MoU on renewable energy and green hydrogen: hydrogen ecosystem design for local socio-economic impact, plus a capacity-building and skills roadmap.
Courses from Impact Hydrogen and external professionals on hydrogen strategy and advisory, built to grow hydrogen capacity affordably, with certification on completion. Recently achieved EAHEA accreditation.
Learn more →At CERF's request following Algeria's roundtable at the World Hydrogen Summit 2024, Impact Hydrogen authored the first deliverable of Algeria's Hydrogen Valley Roadmap: mapping Algeria's National Hydrogen Development Strategy (2023-2040), its exceptional solar/wind potential, pilot projects, and stakeholders.
Antofagasta, in northern Chile, combines strong renewable potential with a deep mining history. Impact Hydrogen helped develop its 10-year hydrogen roadmap with Aguasol, covering local impact preparation, capacity building, and infrastructure.
Learn more →A long-term regional learning network for Northern Groningen, reducing energy poverty through systemic change across social, technical, and organisational lines.
Learn more →A free online tool built with RVO (funded by TKI New Gas, with technical input from Essent) that gives companies and local authorities a fast read on whether a local hydrogen hub is technically and financially feasible, and what it would cost.
Learn more →Cooperation agreement with the Namibia University of Science and Technology for further R&D on the HyCooker and HyBraai, followed by a HyCooker workshop and demonstration in Windhoek.
Learn more →HyCooker signed a manufacturing and licensing partnership with Vision Mechatronics (Mumbai) for local production and distribution of the HyCooker in India.
Learn more →Cooperation agreement for further R&D on the HyCooker and HyBraai; DUT's Green Engineering Research Group is active in hydrogen research.
Learn more →Submitted with the Province of Flevoland, a network of 23 partners positioning FLHY for its next phase toward final investment decision.
Learn more →H2Planet (Milan) signed to pair its hybrid metal hydride storage and modular hydrogen production with the HyCooker as a complete package.
Learn more →Global chat-based platform connecting hydrogen suppliers and offtakers: free for customers, fee-based for suppliers.
