Our latest developments
Data-driven approach increases road maintenance efficiency and sustainability
The detailed mapping of the load-bearing capacity of all national roads will enable more proactive, efficient, and sustainable maintenance. This data-driven approach to the road network is one of the projects within the Agreements Framework of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (IenW), Rijkswaterstaat, and TNO.
Microplastics in clothing: research into reducing textile fibres
Textile is the fifth largest source of microplastics. TNO has developed a new measurement technique to identify microplastics in textile.
Time setters: 200 times less iridium needed for green hydrogen production
In this episode of Time setters, we speak to time setter Lennart van der Burg, Cluster Manager for Green Hydrogen, about the breakthrough development in electrolysers and how we can produce green hydrogen on a larger scale.
From plastic free to future-proof plastics
The increasing demand for plastics requires structural change. To make that happen, together with Fraunhofer UMSICHT, we present a white paper with four strategic approaches for a circular economy.
The Netherlands takes the lead in development of third-generation electrolyser
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.
