Mokveld Valves, a Dutch global leader in the development and production of high-quality control and safety valves, can announce Gasunie decided to enter a long-term frame agreement with Mokveld to supply control valves for the H₂ delivery stations. This agreement is part of Gasunie’s plans to develop Hynetwork, a country wide H₂ network in The Netherlands. In this project, existing natural gas pipelines will be converted to transport H₂. The network will supply H₂ to large consumers, such as industrial plants located close to the delivery points.

This Hynetwork project plays an important role in the European energy transition, in which H₂ has become a crucial source of renewable energy.

The European tender for this project set strict requirements in terms of quality, corporate social responsibility (CSR/ESG), and price. Mokveld was selected for its strong focus on both technical quality and sustainability, and its ability to provide innovative solutions for the energy sector. The control valves will play an essential role in safely and efficiently regulating the flow of H₂ to bulk consumers.

Mokveld's axial control valves are characterized by their one-piece body design, streamlined flow path and high capacity. Accurate control due to pressure balanced trim and full surround flow allows the use of energy efficient electric actuators.

The innovative nature of this control valve supports the sustainability of the products and is in line with Mokveld's vision to develop and produce valves that contribute to safety, efficiency and environmental friendliness in the energy sector. Gasunie's choice of the electrically actuated control valves underlines the value of this mission.
