ENERGY INNOVATION RESEARCH
Many countries have a political target to become less dependent on fossil fuels. As a consequence more and more energy is generated from fluctuating renewable energy sources (e.g. PV, wind, biogas, hydro, geothermic).
The continuous growth of renewable generation, accompanied by their decentralized operation, is leading to massive grid investment needs if no appropriate actions are taken. The transition to a society completely based on renewable energy is one of the greatest challenges of our time.
The University of Twente has the ambition and capabilities to contribute to the development of renewable energy solutions, not only focusing on the scientific and technological aspects, but also on the societal impact.
The University of Twente is the leading entrepreneurial university of The Netherlands, and has an outstanding reputation in bringing technology solutions to market.
The Energy Innovation group of the University of Twente creates focus and a clear road for the realization of the energy transition. We take a leading role in directing and boosting research into new technologies and insights into societal challenges and help stakeholders to implement sustainable energy solutions through our combined knowledge of technology and society. In this way we contribute to a sustainable, economically healthy Netherlands and Europe.
LET'S WORK TOGETHER
The Energy Innovation group is your entrance to a network of all players in the energy transition: industry, knowledge institutes and governments. Contact us with questions, ideas and remarks - and let's work together to realize a clean, sustainable and economically healthy Netherlands and Europe.
Video
Energy is an important topic for the University of Twente. Therefore, the Centre for Energy Innovation (CEI) has recorded a video showing us what the UT is doing in the field of energy. The video gives us an insight into new developments, ongoing projects and displays the ambitions of CEI in the field of climate and the energy transition.
