Projectomschrijving

In the region that unites Belgian, Dutch and German industrial clusters, the density of energy demand is very high, while spatial options to deploy renewable energy technologies are limited. Hence, an analysis of the required energy transport infrastructure for industrial clusters is crucial in view of security of supply. TRILATE aims to develop scientific models at the level of processes, industrial clusters and cross-border energy systems, linked to an integrated energy infrastructure.
