June 24, 2022 saw the kick-off of the LIFE NEW HYTS project. The LIFE NEW HYTS project aims to create the right conditions for a rapid introduction of green hydrogen-powered heavy-duty vehicles. LIFE NEW HYTS stands for reNEWable green HYdrogen for TranSport and is financially supported by LIFE.
The project is a collaboration of KWR Water Research Institute, the province of Utrecht, Hysolar, Stamhuis, van Heezik, Van den Heerik's Internationaal Transportbedrijf B.V. and Jos Scholman Beheer B.V. Part of the project is Waterstof Utrecht, the covenant in which 111 parties are already participating. "I think there's a lot of music in hydrogen, we saw that this afternoon. The most surprising thing is that a lot of entrepreneurs are participating, but we mainly see SMEs, smaller companies participating. I do see a big challenge to also get the bigger 'guys' to join now." , said Arne Schaddelee, the province's deputy and warm advocate of green hydrogen.
