Pier D Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, where the research lab has been opened

Schiphol opens research lab for ultrafine particles on apron

At Schiphol, a research lab has been opened at two aircraft stands on Pier D. The lab is full of equipment that can measure ultrafine particles and will be used to test measures and experiment with innovative ideas. The data and lessons learned of the research lab will be available for TULIPS as well.

The new charging infrastructure for the NLR's Pipistrel is officially taken into operation

Electric charging infrastructure at Rotterdam Airport put into operation

A new charging infrastructure for electric aircraft was put into operation at RTHA. It will supply the Pipistrel with electricity for research and training flights. A TULIPS demo is planned for 2024.

Green Airports side event at Paris Air Show 2023

To give some insights into the solutions we are working on, we joined EU Green Deal Projects OLGA and STARGATE at the Paris Air Show for a side event, discussing the challenges of e.g. SAF and hydrogen on the our way to becoming zero emisson airports.

Your urgent questions about SAF answered

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) will play an important role in making aviation more sustainable. Some of the many questions we received about SAF during our launch event we’re answering here.

TULIPS with sister projects at PTE 2023

TULIPS and its H2020 green airport sister projects OLGA, Stargate and ALIGHT organised a workshop at the PTE 2023. We all have our own unique projects and demonstrations aimed at how to enable greener flights.

Innovative Iron Flow Battery on it’s way to Schiphol

Schiphol will be testing an iron flow battery for charging electric handling equipment at remote locations. It reduces the airport’s carbon footprint and air pollution. A TULIPS test is also planned.

Can biochar help decarbonisation of airports?

The large green areas of airports could potentially be used to capture CO2 using biochar. Therefore TULIPS is investigating biochar sequestration at Torino Airport SAGAT. It may help in decarbonisation of airports.

TULIPS meeting on SAF at Avinor Oslo Airport

How can airports incentivise use and production of SAF? That’s what we discussed during the TULIPS meeting at Avinor Oslo Airport on 8 December 2022.

Panel discussion during TULIPS launch event

TULIPS launches sustainable and innovative projects

With great interest we presented our plans during our TULIPS Launch event. With these demonstrator projects we want to drastically reduce emissions at airports before 2030 and decarbonise aviation.
