Erasmus Centre for Energy Transition

🌍 Announcing the ECET x Platform Zero Hydrogen Partnership! 🌍 The Erasmus Centre for Energy Transition had the privilege of co-hosting the Hydrogen Innovation Community event in Rotterdam with Platform Zero. Malou Kroezen, director of the ECET & Mare Straetmans, founder of Platform Zero, signed a collaboration agreement to co-host future events, bringing together the hydrogen community to advance the development and innovation of hydrogen as a key element in the renewable energy mix. Why this partnership matters: Hydrogen plays a vital role in our transition to sustainable energy, but real progress depends on more than technical advancements. It needs community engagement, collaboration, and a shared commitment to innovation. At ECET, we believe that building a strong community is essential to unlocking hydrogen’s full potential. With Platform Zero as a partner, we gain access to their Hydrogen Global Partnership, their network of stakeholders, and their deep expertise in supporting climate tech startups. Plus, their Rotterdam "niet lullen maar poetsen" mentality is exactly the drive we need to move hydrogen innovation forward. This partnership is an exciting step toward building a resilient and sustainable hydrogen ecosystem. Our next event will take place on the 13th of February, so stay tuned for more information and any other opportunities to connect, collaborate, and lead the hydrogen transition together. #ECET #EnergyTransition #PlatformZero #LeadingEnergyTogether

Waking up excited! Erasmus Centre for Energy Transition is looking forward to welcome a full class today for our next Leading the Energy Transition Programme at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. We cannot wait to meet our new cohort of change makers and to deep dive into engaging discussions, workshops, interactive lectures and simulations in this quite intensive week, where we will be learning from and with each other on the further steps we can take to accelerate the energy transition.

Proud of Emanuela Jandoli from Erasmus University who was invited as one of the finalists to pitch her master thesis for the eneco young energy leader award at Recharge Earth today in Ahoy. Her thesis on the sustainability of deapsea mining covers a controversial and important topic in the Energy Transition. Well done Emanuela!

Proud to support this interdisciplinary honours programme with the important theme "inclusive Energy Transition" There is still room for potential partners to provide assignments. Connect with us if you are interested or want to know more!

Research Collaboration Awarded to Study Hydrogen's Socio-Economic Impact We're thrilled to announce that the National Growth Fund Programme GroenvermogenNL and NWO (Dutch Research Council) have awarded €12 million to the HySUCCESS consortium (Social, User aCCeptable, Economically Sustainable Systems for Hydrogen). This project, with a budget of over €13M, involves 20 partners, including Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR). The HySUCCESS consortium will assess how economic, legal, policy, and socio-cultural factors may hinder or promote green hydrogen implementation. The project also aims to identify scale-up strategies and evaluate environmental impacts, highlighting hydrogen's potential in future energy systems. Special congratulations to the experts from Erasmus University Rotterdam, who will receive €700K for their research activites in the HySUCESS project: - Prof. Leonie Reins and Assistant Prof. Alberto Quintavalla (Erasmus School of Law) will examine legal and regulatory aspects of green hydrogen. - Dr. Wouter Jacobs (Erasmus Commodity & Trade Centre) and Prof. Albert Veenstra (Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University) will investigate the economic and trading aspects of green hydrogen. We are proud that Doron Gollnast, PhD, from the ECET team and the Erasmus Research Support department, was able to initiate and lead this successful project application at EUR. The HySUCCESS project is a great example of our mission to build, strengthen, and expand collaborations between experts form the various schools and disciplines present at Erasmus University and connect these to external stakeholders aiming to accelerate a sustainable Energy Transition together! https://lnkd.in/ewBRd5ni https://lnkd.in/e6N6eWZA #ErasmusUniversityRotterdam #EnergyTransition #Hydrogen #ResearchAndInnovation #SocietalImpact #GroenvermogenNL #NationaalGroeifonds

Are you passionate about the Energy Transition?
