Over 45 million euros for sustainable industry with green hydrogen: NWO and the National Growth Fund programme GroenvermogenNL are awarding this substantial amount to the HyCARB project led by TNO. This project is the result of the call “Hydrogen and green electrons for carbon-based chemistry”.
NWO-I has appointed Marco de Baar for a second five-year term as director of DIFFER. The first five years were marked by introducing a new strategy and collaborations with leading (inter)national players.
Fusion energy may be the holy grail of clean energy, but harnessing its complex processes and machinery is a daunting task. Researchers at DIFFER think the solution to fusion may not only lie in deeper physics understanding but also in an engineering approach to self-steering systems.
A collaboration between AMOLF, CWI and DIFFER has received funding from NWO-I to launch the joint project ‘HELIOS: AI-guided materials discovery facility for solar energy materials’.
