Energy Innovation NL (in Dutch: Topsector Energy), is the driving force behind innovations that are necessary for the transition to an affordable, reliable and sustainable energy system. The Dutch Knowledge and Innovation Agenda, as a part of the National Climate Agreement, determines the priorities of the TSE. The innovation agenda of TKI New Gas focuses on the following topics: • Hydrogen: full hydrogen chain as well as the system role that hydrogen can play • Green gases from biomass through different processes, such as digestion, gasification and supercritical water gasification • Capture, Utilisation and Storage of CO2 • Geo energy, with focus on subsurface innovations regarding energy storage and geothermal energy. Hydrogen is a cross-cutting theme for our Topsector because it deals with all sectors of our national climate agreement as well as addressing the system role which could be beneficial for all stakeholders in the energy transition. Our main activities include 3 types of activities: • roadmapping, such as defining innovation agendas together with Dutch stakeholders • facilitating innovators, for example finding partners, matchmaking and access to funding opportunities • communication and dissemination on activities, innovation projects, research programmes and relevant developments. We help innovators to contribute to the energy transition.
