TU Delft Urban Energy Institute
The energy transition is one of the most urgent global challenges of our time, requiring immediate action at both national and international levels. Cities occupy only 2% of the world’s surface but consume over 75% of global energy resources and are responsible for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions. This makes urban energy systems critical in the global shift towards sustainable practices.
Founded in 2018, the Urban Energy Institute at TU Delft is a multidisciplinary platform of researchers and experts dedicated to accelerating the transition to a carbon-free built environment.
We aim to create tangible impact through three key pathways:
-
Generating and Sharing Knowledge: We conduct pioneering research with a focus on multidisciplinary and cross-sector collaborations that accelerate the shift toward sustainable urban energy systems.
-
Fostering Multidisciplinary Collaboration: We provide a platform where experts from academia, industry, and government collaborate to develop impactful solutions for urban energy challenges.
-
Education Future Leaders: We actively support educational initiatives, including summer schools, student projects, and the development of MOOCs and lifelong learning programs, supporting the next generation of leaders in sustainable urban energy systems.
The TU Delft Urban Energy Institute is one of the 4 energy pillars of the TU Delft Energy Initiative.
