About Climate Questions and the Energy Transition
Introduction
What NERA can do for you
Know our team, scientists, the architects behind our organisation.
We are people that find passion in what we do, and our knowledge can help you and your organisation too.
Innovation
Climate Innovators
Speech: “The role of innovation and technological learning for accelerating the energy transition” (English) from the “Empowering Climate Innovators” forum.
European
EERA initiative
EERA is an association of public research centres and universities with the mission to catalyse European energy research for a climate-neutral society by 2050.
Energy Research Cases
Solutions for Climate Questions and the Energy Transition
Case
Geothermal Energy case
Geo energy – Optimization of the extraction of fossil fuels and searching for new, sustainable energy sources in the earth.
In this case we explore the possible
solutions to harvest this energy.
Case
Wind Energy case
What does a wind farm development mean for the surrounding community? The businesses in nearby towns, the contractors who work on the wind farm, and the farmers who own the land?
Case
Shale Gas case
In this case we asses the possible impact of shale gas extraction on commercial property values in the Netherlands, using data from the province of Groningen as a study to get a clear overview.

What people say about us
Our members
The organisations that form NERA
Eindhoven University of Technology
TU/e works towards a sustainable world that produces enough energy for its consumption, unimpeded by scarce resources and without any impact on the climate. Our research will help pave the way for this challenging transition.
Delft University of Technology
TU Delft is the oldest and largest Dutch public technological university. The main tasks include providing scientific education, conducting scientific research, transferring knowledge to society and promoting social responsibility.
University of Amsterdam
The Centre for Energy Research was launched in 2010 as a research group attached to the University of Amsterdam's Faculty of Law. Its research has the end-user as its main focus.
Leiden University
Leiden University was founded in 1575 and is one of Europe’s leading international research universities. It has seven faculties in the arts, humanities and sciences, spread over locations in Leiden and The Hague. The motto of the University is 'Praesidium Libertatis' – Bastion of Freedom.
University of Groningen
The University of Groningen is a research university with a global outlook, deeply rooted in Groningen, City of Talent. Quality has had top priority for four hundred years: the University is currently in or around the top 100 on several influential ranking lists.
Utrecht University
Utrecht University is a wide-range, international research university of high standing. Our interdisciplinary research targets four themes: Life Sciences, Pathways to Sustainability, Dynamics of Youth and Institutions for Open Societies. We are a trailblazer in the field of modernising educational concepts.
University of Twente
At the University of Twente, we are pioneers in fusing technology, science and engineering with social sciences to impact the world around us. Our driving force is a deep sense of connection with people who share a curious, entrepreneurial spirit.
TNO
TNO connects people and knowledge to create innovations that boost the sustainable competitive strength of industry and well-being of society. This is our mission and it is what drives us, the 2,600 professionals at TNO, in our work every day.
The Dutch Research Council (NWO)
NWO's mission is to advance world-class scientific research that has scientific and societal impact. NWO approaches that from its vision of being a connector and is guided by its core values: groundbreaking, committed, reliable, and connecting. As a science funder, NWO facilitates excellent, curiosity-driven disciplinary, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research. NWO also operates nine national research institutes through NWO-I, an independent foundation. Energy research is performed at the NWO institutes DIFFER, AMOLF, CWI and NIOZ where DIFFER has a specific focus on Energy (see below).
DIFFER
NWO institute DIFFER conducts fundamental scientific research into materials, processes and systems for a global sustainable energy infrastructure, in close cooperation with (inter)national knowledge institutes and companies. DIFFER’s research is organized within the themes Fusion Energy and Solar Fuels.
