Energy is the driving force behind all our daily activities: it powers our growth and innovation. However, our current reliance on (fossil) fuels has led to environmental issues such as climate change and air pollution. Investing in sustainable energy is no longer an option but a necessity.
The challenge
The tranisition to sustainable
The transition to a sustainable energy system requires not only sustainable energy production but also the use of additional energy storage and conversion. Energy storage is necessary because sustainable alternatives for energy generation can depend on the weather. Innovation in the conversion of (electrical) energy is essential for greening the chemical industry. Cost-effectiveness and the reduction in the use of (critical) materials are crucial in this process. Innovations in the necessary materials and components, but especially in the production methods of energy storage systems, lead to an acceleration in scaling up a sustainable energy production chain.
The strategy
Expanding on our current knowledge
Our domain focuses on strategic areas where the Netherlands already excels. With our deep expertise in thin films, system integration, and plasma technology, we are targeting emerging market areas such as batteries, electrolysis, fuel cells, and plasma conversion. Mass production of components like batteries and electrolyzers helps to lower costs and reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Our projects
Here are the projects currently active within the Energy domain:
3D Battery Pilot Line Production
Next-gen Equipment for Batteries and Battery-materials
Plasma Conversion of Methane
Alkalina
Third Generation Electrolyzers
Massproduction of Zero Emission Fuels micro-plants for afordable solar fuel
