Dutch blending obligations and strategy for HoSt

Suitable for BSc or MSc in Industrial Engineering & Management / Sustainable Energy Technology / Chemical Engineering / Mechanical Engineering combined with an interest in engineering & management

HoSt is the technology provider to convert biomass to sustainable energy and besides being the provider of technology, HoSt also operates 8 installations in the Netherlands. With our own installations we produce sustainable energy which replaces an equivalent of 50.000.000 Nm3 of natural gas. In the Netherlands the blending obligation green gas has been announced and is expected to be implemented in 2025. From that moment onwards, energy suppliers are required to blend green gas into the natural gas grid for the built environment to benefit from clean gas. From 2025 the blending obligation will be increased yearly, resulting in a high demand for green gas. Due to the high demand of green gas HoSt is focussing on the development of green gas projects in the Netherlands. HoSt is therefore looking for an intern to develop a strategy for the project development team. The strategy should result in the highest contribution that HoSt can deliver towards the green gas ambitions in the Netherlands. You will be working in the project development team where we will guide you during the duration of the internship.


Your tasks:

  • Study the Dutch blending obligation biomethane for the built environment;
  • Identify the important parameters such as feedstock and technology selection in the blending obligation;
  • Use the gained insights to develop a strategy for HoSt in order to achieve the highest contribution towards the blending obligation.

E-methanol market study and development of a business case

Suitable for BSc or MSc in Industrial Engineering & Management / Sustainable Energy Technology / Chemical Engineering / Mechanical Engineering combined with an interest in engineering & management

E-fuels and green fuels are a promising alternative to conventional fossil fuels such as gasoline, kerosene and others. E-fuels hold the advantage over upcoming technologies such as hydrogen, syngas and electricity in the transportation industry since e-fuels can use the existing infrastructure, which is applicable and widely available. Although the transportation industry seems to be very much interested in the e-fuel production, e-fuels such as methanol can be widely applied in multiple sectors. These sectors include, among others, the chemical refineries, transportation, pharmaceuticals but it can also be applied as a form of energy storage. HoSt is currently developing its first methanol production facility in the Netherlands and we are looking for a motivated student/intern to perform a market study within our own-to-operate department. The methanol facility will combine sustainable hydrogen and bioCO2 to produce methanol through synthesis. HoSt is looking to develop this technology and sell it to our clients. Therefore, HoSt would like to draft a go to market strategy for the upcoming years for this specific technology. You will be working in our project development team where you will get a better understanding of the (European) methanol market and how HoSt can develop the most interesting business case scenarios.


Your tasks:

  • Develop a business case tool for e-methanol projects;
  • Techno-economic evaluation of business case scenarios for HoSt e-methanol products;
  • Perform a market study on the status of e-methanol in Europe;
  • Write a market strategy for the most interesting business case scenarios.
