About TULIPS

TULIPS is a consortium dedicated to developing innovations that facilitate the transition to low-carbon mobility and enhance sustainability at airports over the next four years. Supported by €25 million in EU funding, the TULIPS project began in January 2022 and will continue until December 2025 and beyond. The consortium aims to accelerate the roll-out of sustainable technologies in aviation, significantly contributing to zero-emissions and zero-waste airports by 2030 and climate-neutral aviation by 2050. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol will serve as the proving ground for 17 demonstrator projects resulting from this collaboration.
