Delft Energy

Delft Energy is the gateway to energy research, education and innovation at TU Delft. This initiative serves as a catalyst for collaboration and discussion between scientists and students and between TU Delft and the business community, governments and politicians. In this way, Delft Energy wants to contribute to energy innovation and ensure that sustainable energy supply remains a priority for society.

he initiative consists of 4 main cross-faculty energy institutes: Wind Energy; Urban Energy; PowerWeb and e-Refinery. Of course there is some overlap; that is why the institutes are in close contact with each other. Themes like Social Innovation and Governance cross each institute. The energy platforms Ocean Energy; H2 and eBattery are also involved. Below you will find the links to the institutes and platforms.

A startup related to the energy transition can obtain a voucher through Delft Energy and researchers can win an amount of money with their publication annually. Our 'Energy Club' ensures that all TU Delft students can exchange knowledge about the latest research and energy education through interesting events.

More energy

Under the umbrella of Delft Energy are more energy platforms and initiatives. Here you will find more information on: H2; e4Battery; Social Innovation; Ocean Energy, Energy Access 4 All. Delft Energy brings together all energy researchers to share their knowledge and start new collaborations.

Climate Action Programme

Delft Energy works closely together with the TU Delft Climate Action Programme. Within that programme there are 17 flagship projects devided over 4 climate themes: science, mitigation, adaptatation and governance. Together we organize events where researchers can share their knowledge and start new collaborations.

NERA

Delft Energy collaborates with NERA; the 'Netherlands Energy Research Alliance', which comprises of almost all academic research organisations in The Netherlands that conduct Energy Research.

4TU.Energy

4TU.Energy connects and builds upon the individual strengths of the 4 technical universities and facilitates coordination and collaboration among researchers in the field of energy to accelerate the transition toward a carbon-neutral future.

TU Delft investigates compact CO₂ capture technologies for flue gases

Capturing CO₂ from flue gases is essential for a CO₂ neutral future. However, current installations are often almost as large as the factories themselves, which hinders widespread implementation. In a new project, TU Delft researchers are exploring innovative concepts to make these installations smaller. To achieve this, they are collaborating with SDS Separation.

Greener port calls on the horizon: NWO grants 4 million euro project

More efficient port calls can make maritime transport faster and greener. To achieve this ambition, the PortCall.Zero project has been awarded 4 million euros through the NWO Perspectief programme. Led by TU Delft, and with contributions from 16 partners, the project aims to significantly reduce the CO2 emissions of port activities by making use of AI and electric shore power.

Enhanced Battolyser stores electricity four times faster than before

A new 3D design for electrodes enables the Battolyser™, a battery and electrolyser in one, to store twice the amount of electricity it could previously hold and do so four times faster. Researchers from Delft University of Technology have detailed their findings in the scientific journal Cell Reports Physical Science. The Battolyser now charges and produces hydrogen at a rate comparable to current electrolysers, all without relying on scarce precious metals. This increased capacity saves both space and costs.

Explainer: Storing CO2 in the subsurface

The earth is warming up and CO2 emissions have to come down. That's not happening very fast and in the meantime we do have too much CO2 in the atmosphere. What if you could store that in the subsurface, under the North Sea? Geologist Anne Pluymakers (TU Delft) explains how to do that safely - without earthquakes or leaks.

Green ammonia remains a challenge, but researchers make significant progress

The production of ammonia, essential for fertiliser production, is responsible for almost 1.5% of global carbon emissions. This needs to be greener, which is why researchers have been looking for sustainable alternatives for years.
