Carnot lab accelerates sustainable industry
Achieving the climate objectives in industry requires more research and development into industrial heat technologies. More than 80% of industrial energy consumption is related to the use of heat, which could prove beneficial on the way to a sustainable energy economy. The Carnot lab is taking up this challenge. This heat lab in Petten offers companies the unique opportunity to further develop industrial heat technology on a small and large scale together with TNO.
Industrial high-temperature conditions
The Carnot lab is a facility where TNO, in cooperation with the industry, develops concepts for sustainable industrial heat management and leads the way towards implementation. This involves technology for heat pumps and storage, concepts for residual heat conversion and direct electrical process heat (Power2Heat). The technology is being developed for relevant industrial (high-temperature) conditions. The Carnot lab facilitates the technology development by creating the right conditions at different scales, from lab scale to pilot installations, at up to 2 megawatts (MW) of thermal output. The lab contains state-of-the-art measuring equipment and software models to support the technology development.
This facility has been made possible by a subsidy from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy.
Knowledge, technology and application
TNO experts have in-depth knowledge of (industrial) heat pump and storage technology, application in industrial processes and geothermal energy. The knowledge institute also cooperates with other knowledge institutes and universities. In the Carnot lab, knowledge, infrastructure and technology development come together in an easily accessible manner. It is the gateway to knowledge and infrastructure for all heat conversion and storage technology related developments.
Partner for industrial sustainability
TNO has in-depth knowledge of industrial heat management and an ability to develop and test technology in the Carnot lab for a wider range of conditions than is possible in an industrial environment. This makes TNO the perfect partner for the manufacturing industry that wants to market technologies and for end users that want to make their heat management more sustainable. Together with partners, TNO researches and develops new technologies and concepts and helps to put them into practice. This will enable Dutch industry to make the transformation towards a CO2 neutral industry in 2050. Dutch industry can also lead the way in this respect and distinguish itself in the global market with innovative products.

Time setters: 200 times less iridium needed for green hydrogen production
In this episode of Time setters, we speak to time setter Lennart van der Burg, Cluster Manager for Green Hydrogen, about the breakthrough development in electrolysers and how we can produce green hydrogen on a larger scale.
The Netherlands takes the lead in development of third-generation electrolyser
In the 'Third-generation electrolyzers' project, a consortium led by TNO is developing a completely new type of electrolyser. This new design will offer higher efficiency, lower costs and a circular design, with the aim of facilitating large-scale production of green hydrogen.
DME: Sustainable gas helps businesses move away from fossil fuels
TNO has developed a method to produce DME very efficiently and cheaply from CO2: a major step from fossil to renewable, and to making carbon circular and making the industry and society sustainable.
North Sea countries unite forces to accelerate offshore hydrogen production
Commissioned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, TNO researched the benefits of a shared approach by the North Sea countries, and how conversion into hydrogen at sea can be used to better unlock the potential of energy from the North Sea.
Forming new value chains for a circular economy
The transition from fossil to sustainable raw materials affects the entire chain from the chemical industry, suppliers, waste sector to end users. No party can afford to sit idle or seek the best solutions only for itself.
