4S-principles
Hystream offers solutions that are modular, scalable and movable. We apply our "4S-principles" for every project:
Safe ↓
- Safe and environmentally sound.
- Our hydrogen solutions are always in compliance with the highest (inter)national safety standards (e.g. ATEX, SAE J2601, IEC 61511).
- We only make use of technologies that are safe and proven. The Hystream team has extensive knowledge and experience to identify, quantify and mitigate safety risks.
- We understand that managing the public perception around safety of hydrogen is of paramount importance.
Simple ↓
- Minimal complexity.
- Instead of increasing complexity by adding components we first strip the design to its core and then start adding components that are adding sufficient value.
- The same applies for the parties we work with. Each party should bring added value to the solution chain.
Standard ↓
- Proven technology and scalable.
- All our projects use proven technology and are scalable. We apply hydrogen standards and define standards (e.g. via the Dutch PGS-26 norm). Most of our systems are moveable and connectable, bringing flexibility.
- We work with partners to enhance standardization.
Solid ↓
- Reliable.
- Too low reliability is detrimental to customer experience (filling stations) as well as project economics. Using techniques such as FMECA as well as statistical data we examine our designs and apply redundancy where required.
- In the operational phase we ensure maintenance is applied in a smart manner.
How does a hydrogen station work?
In this interview, Joep Coenen from Hystream explains more about the operation of the new Greenpoint hydrogen refueling station in Dordrecht. This station allows both 350 and 700 bar refueling. Practical information for the Dordrecht hydrogen refueling station: Address: Laan der Verenigde Naties 113, Dordrecht Opening hours: 24/7 Hydrogen dispensers with connections at 350 and 700 bar Entrance via the BP gas station.
Frequently Asked Questions
To generate sustainable energy worldwide, a big share of this energy needs to be generated by solar panels and wind turbines. The biggest challenges that these technologies face, is that they are intermittent energy sources. As a result, there is a need for storage. Because of the high power density as well as the potential for long-term storage, hydrogen is an important element in the energy mix.
The use of hydrogen will be no different than the use of another energy carrier. However, any form of compact energy is of course not without risk. It is therefore important that these risks are well managed and well known. There are special standards and legislation for this, which we naturally adhere to.
A frequently heard statement is: "hydrogen is scarce, so let's use that precious resource in the place for which there is no alternative: the industry." It seems like a logical sentence but actually contains several inaccuracies.
First of all, hydrogen is not scarce at all. It is the most abundant atom in the universe. Next to this, there is also an abundance of hydrogen on Earth in another form: water. We can make as much hydrogen as we need and will never run out of it: when hydrogen is used, water is created again, and the cycle is closed. Producing hydrogen is thus a 100 % circular process.

Hydrogen can be produced with an efficiency of 80% - and still becomes more efficient everyday - and is therefore as efficient as a standard wind turbine. A wind turbine that produces hydrogen therefore produces the same amount of energy as a wind turbine that produces electricity. When using hydrogen, an efficiency of 100 % can be achieved if it is used smartly, for example in a CHP. Since hydrogen can be stored with hardly any loss of energy, where this is not actually possible for electricity, it is expected that hydrogen will be among the top in terms of efficiency. Hydrogen can thus bring together the peaks of supply and demand, a function that is inherent in the hydrogen chain. Other energy carriers have to be built separately and therefore cost money and energy.
