Symposium: NextGenHeat

Our primary objective is to address the key challenges of establishing a sustainable process industry by supplying and integrating 'de-fossilised' heat while accounting for intermittent energy supply and operation by utilising efficient technologies, all in a scalable and economically feasible manner. As knowledge development, research, and innovation are essential for the process industry to maintain durable economic growth, we plan to submit the next “National Growth Fund” application.

CO2 neutral heat supply

In NextGenHeat program TNO develops CO2-neutral heat supply, efficient heat use and regeneration solutions for industry and help the industry to implement them to realize sustainable energy efficient heating / heat intensive processes. In order to achieve this, a balanced, market responsive portfolio of R&D programme lines will be defined in coordination with consortium partners.

TNO will bring its expertise on Industrial Heat and experience form various past and ongoing project into the program.

The symposium aims to synchronise our viewpoints and establish the primary program structure. With the valuable input of two keynote lectures delivered by international experts, we emphasise conducting specialised workshops to tackle various aspects such as the primary challenges, related inquiries, and crucial activities across all Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs).
