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.

Our latest developments
Offshore wind under pressure
Offshore wind energy is growing enormously, but this growth comes with challenges. To maximize the value of large volumes of wind energy in the future energy system, we need to ensure feasible business cases for developers.
Profitability offshore wind in 2030 not self-evident
A new TNO study reveals that offshore wind will not be profitable in all cases. Using several scenarios, TNO investigated the feasibility of offshore wind energy in 2030.
