Dutch Company XINTC Partners with University to Make Green Hydrogen Production Safer
Delft, Friday, 12 December 2025.
XINTC, a Dutch high-tech company, has teamed up with TU Delft to develop digital twin technology that will revolutionize green hydrogen safety and efficiency. This groundbreaking collaboration focuses on creating advanced real-time monitoring systems for electrolysis processes, reducing operational risks while optimizing performance. What makes this partnership particularly significant is XINTC’s unique approach: their modular electrolysis systems operate without rare metals, making them more durable and cost-effective than conventional alternatives. The technology can connect directly to renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, solving a major challenge in the industry. After 12 years of development, XINTC expects their first commercial sales agreements in early 2026.
North Holland Launches Digital Platform to Transform Construction Industry Waste Crisis
North Holland, Thursday, 11 December 2025.
North Holland’s DigiC program connects startups with major construction companies to tackle the region’s massive building challenges through circular and digital innovation. The initiative, expanding from Utrecht’s successful 2023 pilot, has already helped participating entrepreneurs secure contracts they wouldn’t have obtained otherwise. Companies like Planalogic and BIM Projects are developing waste-minimizing digital designs and predictive maintenance models that could revolutionize how buildings are constructed and maintained across the Netherlands.
Netherlands Hydrogen Network Faces €1.8 Billion Budget Shortfall
The Hague, Thursday, 11 December 2025.
The Dutch government’s ambitious plan to build a 1,200-kilometer hydrogen network by 2030 is severely underfunded, with costs ballooning from €1.5 billion to €3.8 billion. The network operator now requires €2.5 billion in loss compensation, far exceeding the allocated €750 million subsidy. Rising construction costs and disappointing hydrogen demand have created what auditors call a ‘high risk’ for taxpayers, threatening the completion of this critical infrastructure for the country’s transition away from fossil fuels.
Two Dutch Municipalities Accelerate Hydrogen Development for Regional Energy Transition
Bolsward, Thursday, 11 December 2025.
Súdwest-Fryslân and Het Hogeland strengthened their hydrogen collaboration on December 3rd, positioning the technology as crucial for industry, logistics, and heavy mobility. Bolsward’s innovative energy hub could heat 8,700 homes gas-free while producing hydrogen for industrial use, demonstrating how local governments are building concrete infrastructure for the Netherlands’ hydrogen economy.
