Sustainable subsurface
Within TNO, the Geological Survey of the Netherlands is organised as a knowledge centre of the subsurface. With state-of-the-art public information, research and technology, we contribute to a sustainable Netherlands.
Making the subsurface sustainable
With our information provision, research, and technology, we contribute to a sustainable subsurface. Take a look at the projects we’re working on. Or read more about the Geological Survey of the Netherlands at TNO.
Our latest developments
TNO at Holst Centre launches 3D battery spinoff LionVolt
Possible breakthrough for geothermal production with steel shot drilling technique
Improve robust and safe geothermal production at lower costs with advanced directional drilling technology is the goal in the DEPLOI project: DEmonstrate Production enhancement with LOw cost side track drilling.

TNO to study geology for underground Einstein Telescope
The Dutch Black Hole Consortium will receive 4.9 million euros from the Dutch Research Council (NWO) within the framework of the Dutch Research Agenda. The new interdisciplinary consortium will further unravel the riddles of black holes and the mysteries of the universe. Astronomers and physicists will join forces to make new discoveries and geologists will `dive into the subsurface’ for the possible underground construction of the Einstein Telescope.
