Hydrogen internal combustion engine accelerates energy transition
WEBHydrogen combustion engines. Sustainable mobility. In order to meet climate goals and to accelerate the transition to more sustainable transport and traffic, other clean alternatives such as hydrogen are needed for heavy-duty road transport and shipping, in addition to battery electric solutions. Hydrogen used directly in an internal combustion ...
Floating solar panels | TNO
WEBFloating solar panels. Floating solar will make a significant contribution to the energy transition. Some scenarios predict 200 gigawatt peak (GWp) of solar power in the Netherlands in 2050, 25 GWp of which will be on inland waters and 45 GWp at sea. The knowledge level is still insufficient. For example, on the effect of wind and waves on ...
