our innovations

Liandon continuously works on high-quality technological solutions through projects and research.

Projects

Liandon is participating in various innovative projects.

Super cable for super power

Innovatie Superkabel_200x150

Superconductor cable – In collaboration with Delft University of Technology and cable manufacturer NKT, Liandon has developed a new superconductor cable. This cable is unique in the world and marks a major step towards a more sustainable future. 

 

Biogas quality assurance

Innovatie Groen Gas

Green gas feed-in station - The grid managers Liander, Enexis, Stedin and Gasunie are working to improve and upgrade biogas to the same quality as natural gas. To this end, Liandon has designed a feed-in installation that measures and monitors the quality of the gas.

Renewable heating supply

Innovatie_Blue_Lagoon_200x150

Blue Lagoon - Liandon is working on sustainable solutions and has devised alternative heating methods, such as a district heating installation. This combines the generation of electricity and heating and makes smart use of the supply and demand for heating and cooling.

 

Unique cable solution

CityCable - Liandon is working on sustainable solutions and has devised alternative heating methods, such as a district heating installation. This combines the generation of electricity and heating and makes smart use of the supply and demand for heating and cooling.

Energy management at home

Intelligent Home System - Liandon is engaged in developing an Intelligent Home System (IHS). This energy management system for the consumer measures and provides insight into/feedback on energy consumption. Customers can reduce their energy consumption and save costs, thus reducing CO2 emissions.

Safe excavation

Differential shovel - Liandon has developed a shovel which enables detection of cables or pipes in the ground. This is an extremely helpful tool when preparing excavation work. The product is being further developed in cooperation with the company GroundTracer. One option that is currently being studied involves the use of radar (Digassist).

Research

Liandon is working on research studies that contribute to renewable and sustainable energy. In addition, we sponsor three studies that are being conducted by the water technology institute Wetsus to explore ways of extracting energy from water:

  • Improvement of Blue Energy technology : extracting electricity from the difference in salt concentration between salt and fresh water.
  • Microbial fuel cells : fuel cells with living bacteria convert organic materials into CO2 and electricity. With this waste-to-power technology, waste water treatment processes can be harnessed to generate and supply energy.
  • Biofuel from microalgae : reducing the energy required to grow, harvest and process algae. In this way, you can limit the use of fossil fuels.
