Applications of Quantum Technology in the Energy Transition
In partnership with TNO Vector, the Centre for Quantum and Society brought together energy experts and quantum specialists to explore potential quantum applications for the energy transition. This collaborative effort resulted in an interactive visualization, designed by Flatland.
LEVERAGING QUANTUM FOR GOOD: A GLOBAL COLLABORATIVE MOVEMENT
Quantum technology development holds the potential to become a transformative force in the 21st century. As we move towards the 2025 International Year of Quantum, the Centre for Quantum and Society, Quantum Delta NL and our partners are pioneering Quantum for Good – a global collaborative movement dedicated to creating positive societal, environmental, and economic impact through quantum technology. Together, we strive to develop quantum applications, projects, and resources that will drive real-world change and contribute to a sustainable future for all.
The Quantum for Good initiative, launched in 2024, emphasizes the importance of collective action in shaping a quantum-enabled future for the benefit of all. This effort is a critical step in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through innovative quantum solutions that address some of the world's most urgent challenges.
Effectively articulating and implementing Quantum for Good requires more than cutting-edge science. It demands a global commitment from stakeholders across academia, industry and society. By working together, we aim to create Purpose-Driven Innovation, Empowering Solutions, a Collaborative Spirit and ultimately, a Future-Proven Society.

QUANTUM FOR GOOD USE CASES: REAL-WORLD SOLUTIONS FOR GLOBAL CHALLENGES
Quantum technologies have the potential to address some of the world's most pressing challenges. Through international collaboration on Quantum for Good, we unite diverse expertise and resources to tackle these issues. Quantum is already making an impact across industries like healthcare and climate action. Explore real-world use cases aligned with the SDGs and discover how these innovations are driving positive global change.
This interactive explores how quantum technologies can improve water management by enhancing capture, treatment, and distribution amid growing resource pressure and extreme weather, offering more efficient, resilient, and sustainable solutions.
Quantum technologies can aid the sustainable energy transition by improving efficiency, resilience, and communication. TNO Vector gathered experts to explore applications, resulting in an open-source visual summary for researchers and practitioners to further develop these solutions.
Resources
Our Resources section provides essential materials for exploring the intersection of quantum technology and sustainable development. It includes valuable publications, reports and articles that will help you deepen your understanding of how quantum technologies can be harnessed for good. These open-access documents serve as a reference for establishing global norms, ethical frameworks and creating policies that prioritize sustainability, inclusivity and security.
