Background story theme large-scale energy generation and storage

Diederik Kuipers, Innovation Advisor at Stedin: 'Grid congestion is congestion on the electricity grid. A few years ago, power supply and demand were much more predictable. The grid was adequate and the cables thick enough. Now that we are dealing with weather-dependent wind and solar power, decentralised generation, more and more electrical appliances and means of transport; we are at...

What is possible on FLIE's three test lines?

We are extremely proud that our pilot test site is under construction and by mid-2022 the first projects can start on one of our three test lines. A pilot at the Fieldlab helps to understand how electricity can be used to make specific industrial processes more sustainable. This form of testing is interesting for industrial end-users who want to implement new technologies, but also for technology providers who want to demonstrate their innovations. You can read more about the testing opportunities within our various production lines in the flyers below.

First research results circular industrial waste separation technology

Over eight million tonnes of waste are incinerated in the Netherlands every year. About eight million tonnes of CO2 released and valuable substances including metals and minerals are lost. It is therefore imperative that we find new solutions for processing our waste. DOPS Recycling Technologies' new Direct Carbon Immobilization (DCI™) separation technology is a promising solution that can recover primary raw materials without any significant amount of CO2 emissions. To validate this technology on an industrially relevant scale, the Fieldlab Industrial Electrification (FLIE), DOPS and Investa have joined forces.
