The TPM Energy Transition Lab is an experimental lab with the ambition to perform innovative and interdisciplinary research on the development of new approaches, methods and tools for fostering an effective, fair, legitimate energy transition. From various perspectives and with various (multi)methods, TPM Energy Transition Lab studies behavior in and design of the energy transition. The TPM Energy Transition Lab aims to develop out-of-the-box, high risk activities that connect TPMs researchers and strengthens the position of energy transition research at TPM and TU Delft.

De was doen als de zon schijnt blijkt toch ingewikkelder dan gedacht
Deed jouw oma vroeger ook de was als een zonnige dag voorspeld was? Nu zoveel huishoudens zonnepanelen hebben en het elektriciteitsnetwerk problemen ervaart door overbelasting op piekmomenten, zou het ook beter zijn als huishoudens met zonnepanelen apparaten zoals de wasmachine laten draaien op mooie dagen.

TPM Energy Transition Lab – Next Phase
After the first phase (2020 – 2022), the TPM Energy Transition Lab will continue its activities in three research projects in the next couple of years. These projects are on "Behaviour", "Design", and "Exploration". Two postdocs (Katharina Biely and Tristan de Wildt) explored these themes in the first phase. In the next step, two PhD projects will build upon their work to enhance research output: Marielle Rietkerk and Lukas Schubotz.

Towards alternative energy and CO2 sources for Dutch greenhouses - Energy Transition Lab - TU Delft
Dutch greenhouses produce mostly vegetables and flowers like tomatoes, sweet peppers and roses. After the United States, the Netherlands is the biggest exporter of agricultural produce in the world. The Dutch agricultural sector exports about € 65 billion of agricultural products annually.
