TU Delft Urban Energy
TU Delft Urban Energy Institute The energy transition is one of the most urgent global challenges of our time, requiring immediate action at both national and international levels. Cities, which occupy only 2% of the world’s surface, consume over 75% of global energy resources and are responsible for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions. This makes urban energy systems critical in the global shift towards sustainable practices. Urban areas are essential battlegrounds in the fight against climate change. Founded in 2018, the Urban Energy Institute at TU Delft is a multidisciplinary platform of researchers and experts dedicated to accelerating the transition to a carbon-free built environment. Our mission is to create tangible impact through three key pathways: Generating and Sharing Knowledge : We conduct pioneering research, with a focus on multidisciplinary and cross-sector collaborations involving both public and private stakeholders. Cultivating Collaboration : We offer a dynamic platform that connects experts from various fields, fostering an environment of innovation and knowledge exchange. By uniting researchers and practitioners, we bridge the gap between academia and real-world practice to address the complexities of the energy transition. Education : We actively support educational initiatives, including summer schools, student projects, and the development of MOOCs and lifelong learning programs, empowering the next generation of leaders in sustainable urban energy systems.
