Mokveld Valves, a leading Dutch manufacturer of control and safety valves, has announced a long-term framework agreement with Gasunie to supply control valves for Hydrogen Delivery Stations. This partnership supports Gasunie’s ambitious plan to develop Hynetwork, a nationwide hydrogen network in the Netherlands. The project involves converting existing natural gas pipelines to facilitate hydrogen transportation, enabling supply to large consumers, including industrial plants near the delivery points.
The Hynetwork project is a key component of the European energy transition, where hydrogen is emerging as a vital renewable energy source. The European tender for this initiative demanded strict adherence to quality, corporate social responsibility (CSR/ESG), and cost-effectiveness. Mokveld’s selection reflects its strong commitment to technical excellence, sustainability, and innovative solutions for the energy sector. The supplied control valves will be instrumental in safely and efficiently managing hydrogen flow to bulk users.
Mokveld‘s axial control valves stand out for their one-piece body design, streamlined flow path, and high capacity. Their precise control, enabled by pressure-balanced trim and full surround flow, allows for the integration of energy-efficient electric actuators. This design aligns with Mokveld’s vision to create valves that enhance safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability in the energy sector. Gasunie’s decision to adopt these electrically actuated control valves underscores their alignment with Mokveld’s mission of advancing greener energy solutions.
