Clean and Economical
Our ambitions and activities support the objectives of the Dutch government's working programme 'Schoon en Zuinig' (Clean and Economical). The government is aiming for energy savings of 2% per year with effect from 2011, an increase in the share of renewable energy to 20% by 2020 and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, notably CO2, by 30% in 2020 compared with 1990. The government is pursuing these aims through energy-saving measures, increased renewable production capacity, utilisation of residue heat and the cleanest possible use of fossil fuels.
With these energy supply goals in mind, the government and the energy companies jointly set up a sector agreement in 2008, outlining the commitments and responsibilities of both. The sector agreement is a joint roadmap leading to a reliable, affordable and clean energy supply for the future.
