Four examples showcasing how TNO is working on alternative raw materials and production processes for even better batteries, hydrogen electrolyzers, solar panels, and wind turbines.

The Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark have submitted a proposal to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to restrict the production and use of PFAS. TNO is working on alternatives, such as fluorine-free electrolyzers, to reduce dependency on PFAS and create new opportunities for the manufacturing industry in the energy transition.

TNO Powertrains aims to accelerate this technology and bridge the gap to market by reducing fuel cell costs, improving durability, and supporting vehicle and vessel manufacturers, as well as technology integrators, in making smarter design choices.

In the 'Third-generation electrolyzers' project, a consortium led by TNO is developing a completely new type of electrolyser. This new design will offer higher efficiency, lower costs and a circular design, with the aim of facilitating large-scale production of green hydrogen.

The SPOTLIGHT consortium uses sunlight and photonics to convert CO2 and green hydrogen into green syngas.

TNO examined the current production chains of the energy-intensive industry and how they might look in the future.

The transition to a sustainable energy system by 2050 will involve major changes. Find out what we contribute to this.

Industry has a major role to play in achieving the climate goals by 2050. To become fully sustainable, two things are inseparable: the use of renewable energy and the reuse of raw materials. The processing and chemical industries in particular face the task of continuing to produce useful products in the future, but in a fully sustainable way. TNO supports them with expertise regarding technologies, circularity, business models, legislation and regulations in customized TNO Green Prints.

Carbon capture and storage is unavoidable if we are to meet climate targets. How does that work? Where do you capture CO2 and where do you store it? We explain.

Industry needs to go green more quickly. While it’s true that this sector has succeeded in significantly reducing its CO2 emissions between 1990 and 2020 with at least 25%, in absolute numbers those emissions still represent tens of megatons per year. In the Climate Agreement, government and industry have agreed to further reduce emissions. As an innovation and knowledge partner, TNO supports ministries, provinces, municipalities and regions in implementing effective policies. We also bring public and private parties together to implement acceleration: the radical greening of the value chains in industry.
