Kiwa Gastec

Kiwa Gastec provides consultancy, testing, certification and training services in the fields of fuel, energy, carbon and heating appliances.

We are a leading testing and certification body for hydrogen technologies and other gas appliances and components. We also specialise in fuel cell power, mCHP, portable device and fuel cell systems – whether fuelled by pure hydrogen or using other feedstocks.

Our team of experts is led by our Technical Director and internationally renowned chemical engineer Mark Crowther, who has decades of experience in the field of gas consultancy. The team has provided technical support in many recent high profile hydrogen projects, including H21 Leeds City Gate, HyDeploy and HyHouse.

Our services are most often engaged by utilities, government departments, appliance manufacturers and automotive component companies, and include technical advice, field trial management, feasibility studies, proof of concept, technical due diligence, risk analysis and mitigation, regulatory advice, techno-economic analysis, data analysis, compliance services including CE Approval.

We are recognised for our technical expertise and knowledge of energy usage in most of its forms: combinations of solid, fuel, gas, oil and biomass as well as renewable technologies such as hydrogen, solar, wind, heat pump and m-CHP. We work closely with government bodies and trade associations, in an advisory capacity, both at home and internationally.

We have long and wide experience in domestic heating and carry out comprehensive and detailed field trials of several technologies (condensing boilers, m-CHP, solar thermal, controls). We can also verify greenhouse gas emissions under CCA, EU ETS or other local or National schemes (whether voluntary or mandatory), such as The Netherland’s ‘carbon ladder’. We also offer a carbon footprinting service for products, services and businesses.
