Each looks from a different angle

Same holds for the energy transition….

So we have to work together!

• Switch from coal to natural gas (Slochteren 1959)

• Netherlands has a very energy intensive industry (natural gas based)

• By 2025 production will go to zero

• Draft Climate Agreement (discussion between relevant stakeholders: Industry, government, NGO’s, science)• Production: focus on wind (offshore) and solar energy

• Hydrogen as the CO2 free energy carrier to bridge the gap between demand an supply

• No interest for nuclear (despite the lobby)
