Following the VPRO Tegenlicht documentary Deltaplan Hydrogen TU Delft, Lijm & Cultuur and The Green Village organised the Tegenlicht Meet-up on February 12, attended by 300+ people. There was a lively debate amongst researchers, such as Prof. Ad van Wijk, prof. Andy van den Dobbelsteen and prof. Fokko Mulder about the role of hydrogen in the entire energy transition. Stephan Brandligt, alderman of the municipality of Delft and Albert van der Molen, Stedin, also participated in the debate.

As of 1 January 2019, Dr. Maxim Segeren, former colleague at the Hydraulic Engineering Department of the Faculty of CE&GS, will start as project manager for Offshore Wind at the Valorisation Centre.

A better understanding of the energy demands of various users in the city – households and services such as schools, offices and shops – can facilitate urban energy transition. Nina Voulis offers this insight in her dissertation entitled Harnessing Heterogeneity, with which she will be awarded her PhD at TU Delft on 22 February 2019.
