Crematoria Twente has secured EU funding to retrofit a cremation oven in Enschede for green hydrogen use, aiming to begin trials by late 2026. The project will assess safety, emissions, and reliability, with partners including Facultatieve Technologies and Mateq Processes.

Currently, around 120,000 cremations annually in the Netherlands rely on natural gas, and the initiative seeks to explore hydrogen as a carbon-neutral alternative. The project aligns with broader sustainability goals in the funeral sector and may influence other industries reliant on high-temperature processes.
