Financing the energy transition-accelerating and scaling-up

Thema:: Energy transition pathways

Achieving global climate goals requires massive investments in sustainable energy and materials. Actionable insights to mobilise capital at scale are key to accelerating the rollout of resilient, future-proof infrastructure.

Studies and reports

TNO performs research on how investments in the Dutch energy transition can be accelerated and scaled up.

The transformation of the industrial system requires large-scale deployment of multiple first-of-a-kind (FOAK) commercial-scale projects and value chains to build momentum and protect national interests.

Systematic and transparent risk allocation combined with regulatory frameworks and targeted funding support must therefore be put in place to unlock private sector financing.
