**Delft Energy**

Addressing the challenges of the energy transition, requires close interaction between different energy sources and carriers, between energy generation, storage and use, and between technical and social aspects. Research areas that are all addressed at TU Delft. The [Delft Energy Initiative](https://www.tudelft.nl/en/energy)  is committed to coordinating and stimulating this broad energy portfolio.

The initiative serves as a catalyst for collaboration and discussion between scientists and students and between TU Delft and the industry, governments and politicians.

Some specific focus areas are:

- Develop green battery systems in [e4battery](https://www.tudelft.nl/e4batterydelft)
- Innovation in wind energy in [DUWIND](https://www.tudelft.nl/duwind)
- sustainable production of chemicals and fuels in [e-Refinery](https://www.tudelft.nl/e-refinery)
- accelerating hydrogen research in the [H2-platform](https://www.tudelft.nl/h2platform)
- enabling intelligent, integrated, and inclusive energy systems in [PowerWeb](https://www.tudelft.nl/powerweb)
- transition to a carbon-free built environment in [Urban Energy](https://www.tudelft.nl/urbanenergy)

TU Delft also has an [Energy Club](https://energyclub.nl/), a student-led organisation, committed to address all the energy related issues and to connect students to opportunities in this field.
