Rotterdam, Friday, 3 October 2025.
The Netherlands now has over 20 hydrogen refueling stations, accelerating hydrogen’s role in heavy transport and maritime sectors, as highlighted at the Dutch Hydrogen Days.

Hydrogen Infrastructure Expansion

The Netherlands has made significant strides in expanding its hydrogen infrastructure, with over 20 hydrogen refueling stations currently operational. This development is critical in supporting the shift towards hydrogen-powered heavy transport and maritime sectors, as emphasized during the Dutch Hydrogen Days at Zero Emission Ecomobiel 2025 [1].

Key Highlights from the Event

At the Dutch Hydrogen Days, significant attention was paid to the adoption of hydrogen in heavy transport, construction, and inland shipping. Keynote speaker Leo van der Burg provided insights into the current state and future prospects of hydrogen in maritime transport, underscoring the importance of this clean energy source in reducing emissions in the shipping industry [1].

Recognition and Innovation

The event also celebrated the advancements in sustainable transportation through the Hydrogen Innovation Award 2025. Notable nominees for the award included companies such as Watermeln & Hystream, XINTC, and Hymonic, all of which are based in the Netherlands. These companies are recognized for their contributions to developing innovative hydrogen solutions, which are crucial for enabling a greener future [4].

Future Prospects and International Collaborations

Looking ahead, the Netherlands is poised to play a pivotal role in hydrogen innovation on an international scale. Through initiatives like the Innovatiemissie Waterstof to Alberta, Canada, and Texas, USA, Dutch companies aim to enhance research and development partnerships to improve hydrogen storage and transport technologies. These collaborations are expected to foster advancements in the supply chain, further solidifying the Netherlands’ position as a leader in hydrogen technology [2].
