Carbon neutral industry
The Netherlands must become more sustainable. But since industry is responsible for one third of all carbon emissions, this is a huge challenge. More sustainable fuels and production processes are badly needed.
Towards a CO2-neutral industry
Industry accounts for about one-third of CO2 emissions in the Netherlands. We’re working to make industry carbon-neutral by 2050, so there’s a huge amount to do.
Our latest developments
Producing renewable DME using renewable energy and CO2
The POWERED (Production Of Wind Energy And Other Renewable Energy Based DME) project focuses on the development of Sorption Enhanced DME Synthesis (SEDMES), a technology that produces renewable and recycled carbon DME as an alternative to fossil DME and LPG.
Symposium: NextGenHeat
We invite you to join our NextGenHeat symposium, a national symposium to address all heat-related challenges within the process industry.
The Netherlands: a global hub for hydrogen import, transport and storage
The first hydrogen chain from abroad to the Netherlands is a fact. Spain will become a major supplier of green hydrogen to north-western Europe and our country will play a hub role in further exporting.
Hydrogen developments in full swing in the energy and materials transition
What can we say about the future of green hydrogen? What role will it play in the energy transition in the coming decades? A conversation with TNO hydrogen experts Marcel Weeda and Lennart van der Burg provides some answers.
CO2 reduction and green carbon in industry
This is the time to reduce CO2 emissions and create new opportunities for a sustainable, circular industry. TNO experts present three innovative technologies that convert carbon and CO2 into sustainable products such as plastics, fuels and food.
