Wind energy
To limit the impact of climate change, the Netherlands is working on an energy system that will not emit any CO2 by 2050. In this new system, a lot of renewable energy will be gained from the sun and wind. Wind energy will be the principal part of this, especially at sea. To accelerate the implementation of wind energy, TNO is supporting both the Netherlands’ public authorities and the energy sector with advice, research, and development.
