The Netherlands and Japan have strengthened their hydrogen partnership with a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by industry organizations NLHydrogen and the Japan Hydrogen Association (JH2A).
It is understood that the signing is part of a broader Dutch economic mission focused on energy transition, sustainability, and the circular economy in Japan.
As disclosed, the MoU proposes an exchange of information between the organizations on the following topics:
Marcel Galjee, President of NLHydrogen, stated: “I was in Japan on a previous Dutch economic mission in 2019. It’s exciting to see the plans and pilots that I saw then come into fruition today. The consistent commitment to hydrogen that this country shows is exactly what is needed to really make it happen. We’re looking forward to working together with JH2A on our shared mission.”
It is worth noting that in 2024, JH2A signed a strategic MoU with the Vietnam ASEAN Hydrogen Club (VAHC). According to VAHC, the MoU proposed the exchange of information between the organizations on an ongoing basis and in conjunction with established committees/working groups.
