This scenario was updated/adjusted in January 2022 on the following points:
- Update of the start year (from 2015 to 2019)
- Solar PV is now based on the estimate from Tussen Kolen en Parijs (Urgenda 2021)
- Reduced use of biomass in industry and electricity production
- More hydrogen in the industry
Quintel Intelligence, at the request of Urgenda, has created a (nearly) 100% sustainable scenario using the Energy Transition Model, laying the foundation with the 5x Anders idea for:
The Agenda
The Netherlands 100% on Sustainable Energy by 2030
It is possible if we want it!
This scenario, this report, this vision, this agenda aims to answer the question:
- If we want it, can we transition to a fully sustainable energy system within twenty years?
- Is it technically possible?
- Will our energy system remain at least as reliable?
- Can we afford this transition, and will it lead to an affordable energy supply in 2030?
- Are there insurmountable obstacles that make it impossible within twenty years?
If we acknowledge the urgency and truly want it, can we achieve 100% sustainable energy by 2030?
Impact of ETM Improvements and Updates
Improvements to the Energy Transition Model (ETM) and updates may influence the outcomes of the scenario. As a result, small numerical differences may exist between published results and the latest scenario calculations.
