Sustainable industry
The chemical and process industries face enormous challenges. The pressure to reduce CO2 emissions, embrace circular economy and stay competitive at the same time is increasing. Companies are looking for ways to make their processes more sustainable without sacrificing efficiency and profitability.
At TNO, we understand these challenges. We research, develop and orchestrate breakthrough innovations that enable the transition to a carbon-neutral industry and society.
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.
