INTRODUCTION

After a period of reorganization and a reorientation towards the market, the 
Netherlands Energy Research Foundation has now settled in a new, clearer 
position in the field of technological research. This resulted, for the first time 
since 1988, in a positive result amounting to Dfl 1.4 million net in 1990. 
Revenue rose to some  Dfl135 million, of which Dfl57 million was in general 
grants from the Dutch government.
The desire to cut costs and the decisiveness in obtaining new commissions pulled 
the ECN out of the red in 1990. ECN's new efficient and market oriented approach 
is geared towards obtaining maximum returns from its activities, focused at making 
energy serviceable to society.
ECN's position in the existing order of technological research was further defined 
last year, partly by the final formulation of tasks by the Ministry of Economic 
Affairs and partly through agreements with TNO.
In ECN's own programme strategy, main outlines were established for the energy 
research in the first half of the 1990s. The ECN research programme will 
concentrate on three key points:
- The development of clean conversion technologies for the use of fossil fuels;
- The development of affordable technology for the exploitation of renewable
energy sources;
- Increasing the safety of nuclear power stations.
These three key points are clearly visible in both long- and short-term 
ECN research.
