The importance of renewable energy resources in the long-term energy strategy of The Netherlands - Rob Boerée

•
•

The document discusses the Netherlands' national energy agreement to increase renewable energy production and reduce emissions. It aims to raise the renewable energy share to 14% by 2020 and 16% by 2023 through expanding wind, biomass, and biogas. The agreement involves 47 organizations and includes plans to create new jobs, lower CO2 transport emissions, and grow the cleantech industry fourfold by 2020 through energy savings, renewable scaling, and other policies like subsidies. The biogas sector in particular is identified as having strong potential to contribute to renewable energy targets.

The importance of renewable energy resources in the long- term energy strategy of The Netherlands Rob Boerée Director National Programms
Content •Energy Policy in the Netherlands •Government instruments •Road map for biogas •Conclusions
Renewable energy: The Dutch challenge 2013 = 4,5% EU Directive 2020 = 14%
Towards an energy agreement for sustainable growth Steps •House’s motion “National Energy Transition Agreement” •Social wishes i.e. “New energy for the Netherlands” •Government’s request for advice Social Economic Council (SER) •SER is offering itself as a platform for arriving at a National Energy Agreement for sustainable growth
Energy agreement for Sustainable growth WHY? •Netherlands is lagging behind: 4.5% renewables •No consistent long term policy: “zwabberbeleid” • Investors are hesitating •New technologies => decentralisation of energy production => bottom up movements •EU-commitments: •14% renewables in 2020 •Energy Efficiency Directive: 1.5% annualy •New global growth markets: CleanTech Energy agreement for Sustainable growth 47 organisations participated
Energy agreement for Sustainable growth Aims: •Energy saving 1.5% annually •Renewable energy production to 14% in 2020 •and a further increase to 16% in 2023 •15,000 jobs new jobs •17% Reduction of CO2-emissions in transport sector (1990-2030) •Increase economic value of Dutch CleanTech sector: factor 4 in 2020

Sustainable Energy Scheme (SDE+) • Covering the unprofitable gap of projects • Over a period of 12 or 15 (PV) years. Long term financial security • Phasing in, starting with the most cost effective technologies • SDE+ is financed by a surcharge on energy bills • Budget in 2014 is 3,5 billion euro.
Biogas sector has potential to grow
2020 •1,2 billion m3 of biogas •equals 20 PJ •7% of the 2020 target for renewable energy
To summarize •Much to do •Dutch approach – a national energy agreement that unites divergent interests •Public and private parties are each responsible for implementing the steps set out •Important step towards a carbon free economy •Biogas has a large potential to contribute to renewable energy targets
To Quote Herman Pleij, professor of historical letters from his book The Well-being of Holland ''The Netherlands owes its existence to the democracy of dry feet. We need each other literally in order not to drown and subsequently have to rely on other countries for the means to stay alive.''
