Renewable energy

The Netherlands is using more and more energy and its gas reserves are running out. Among other things, the country will need to switch to alternative energy sources for transport and heating. Work on this must start now. The Netherlands also wants to achieve zero carbon (CO2) emissions by 2050.

Sustainable energy system

In the Netherlands, intensive work is being done on a sustainable, reliable and affordable energy landscape, which is essential for our society. We use renewable and carbon-free sources to
