Hydrogen in the energy system: The future of sustainable energy in the Netherlands and Europe
The Netherlands and Europe face the challenge of making their energy supply more sustainable and drastically reducing CO2 emissions. Hydrogen plays a crucial role in a low-carbon economy but brings with it a lot of complexity. Governments, industries, and market players are therefore seeking practical and feasible solutions. With our knowledge and experience in hydrogen, TNO supports these parties in shaping and realising a sustainable and robust energy system.
Collaboration and Implementation of hydrogen
To accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy system, collaboration between government, industry, and knowledge institutions is essential. Thanks to our in-depth expertise and multidisciplinary approach, TNO offers clear insights and applicable solutions. This collaboration is crucial to tackling the complex challenges of the energy transition.
Our contribution to accelerating hydrogen projects in the Netherlands:
- Collaboration: We work closely with governments, industry, and market players on the introduction of hydrogen in various sectors, from production to end-use, thereby contributing to the blueprint for a low-carbon economy.
- Expertise: TNO provides the necessary knowledge and support to successfully develop and implement these projects. Our in-depth expertise helps in finding practical and applicable solutions.
- Independent partner: As an independent knowledge partner, we connect various parties and ensure a coherent approach, both nationally and across Europe. This results in a powerful and coordinated effort to promote the energy transition.
Hydrogen reports: insights for decision-makers
To effectively deploy hydrogen, reliable knowledge is indispensable. TNO provides reports and analyses that help policymakers and other decision-makers make informed choices. These cover topics such as:
- Market trends and opportunities: We identify and analyse key developments in the Netherlands and Europe.
- Application areas: We investigate the feasibility and impact of hydrogen in transport, industry, and the built environment.
- Technological and system integration: We map out how hydrogen technologies (such as electrolysis) fit within the energy system.
These insights are not only focused on the future but also on the practical steps that can be taken today.
