Port of Maassluis
The Learning Community Port of Maassluis is committed to developing a green port with a self-sufficient energy system. In collaboration with local companies and residents, it aims to become a model of environmentally friendly energy supply, integrating technologies such as Dr. Ten’s saltwater battery and SPIE’s Integrated Virtual Power Plant.
Loods M
Loods M addresses three major challenges: dealing with climate change, transitioning to clean energy, and managing water responsibly. These are important themes for port cities such as Maassluis.
Dr. Ten
Dr. Ten contributes to the innovation at Loods M and explores alternative forms of energy. The sea salt battery is one of the innovations Dr. Ten is working on in Maassluis.
Hydrogen
Recently, our Hydrogen learning community and Maassluis merged. Therefore there are hydrogen related assignments. Fill in the interest form and we will tell you more about it.
Available assignments:
Bio-based Workshop Box
Introduce a bio-based workshop box concept within the industrial hall, showcasing modular and sustainable workspace design innovations.
Bio-based Insulation
Apply bio-based insulation materials to enhance the facility's environmental performance and achieve significant energy savings.
Green Energy Solutions
Incorporate renewable energy sources to power workshops, reducing the carbon footprint and creating a model for energy-efficient work-learn environments.
Innovative Storage Technologies
Develop and integrate advanced storage solutions that improve operational efficiency and sustainability within the facility.
Sustainable Infrastructure Development
Transform Stroomopwaarts by designing and implementing cutting-edge sustainable building concepts across its expansive 5,400 m² space, which includes large halls and diverse workshops.
Smart Grid Development
Maassluis faces the challenge of becoming a self-sufficient port through the development of a pioneering smart grid. The objective is to overcome technical, economic, and organizational barriers, creating a grid that supports sustainable energy use, advances climate action initiatives, and sets an example for green energy adoption among docked vessels and local residents.
Green Energy Provider Development
The municipality of Maassluis seeks to transition into a professional, democratic green energy supplier. The goal is to establish an intelligent, equitable energy system that addresses existing uncertainties, supports sustainable energy efforts, and promotes climate action. Loods M aims to lead this initiative, ensuring that moored ships and local residents benefit from renewable energy sources.
