What is Energy Valley? Energy Cluster Regional economic development Growth of employment
What is Energy Valley? Three cornerstones E N E R G Y V A L L E Y CONVENTIONAL ACTIVITIES Ambitious programs for gas and electricity KNOWLEDGE & INNOVATION European arena for energy knowledge ENERGY TRANSITION Northern Netherlands as incubator for (innovative) sustainable developments
Cluster: Conventional Actvivities 1. Optimal use of available fields • Groningen Long Term • Intensification of the use of small fields (e.g. SKIDS) • Reopening oilfields Schoonebeek
Cluster: Conventional Actvivities 2. Gas Roundabout • Balgzand Bacton Line • North European Gas Pipeline • Natural gas storage • LNG Terminal
Cluster: Conventional Actvivities 3. Electricity cluster • NorNed cable (600 MW) • NUON Magnum, RWE, Advanced Power (4.000 MW) • Wind parks (400 MW)
Cluster: Conventional Actvivities 4. Energy related business • Regional production and agricultural industry • ICT and Services • Smart Applications
Cluster: Energy Transition • Energy transition as vehicle for innovation and economic development • Energy Valley as national incubator for strategic transitions • Platform for sustainable economic development Sparring partner project forming, coalition forming (network function), project management, support with financing options • Transition themes - New Gas - Biomass - Sustainable Mobility - Sustainable Electricity - Smart Energy Systems
Cluster: Energy Transition 1. New Gas • Home Power Plant / MicroCHP • Green Gas program • Mobility on natural gas (CNG) • CO2-storage
Cluster: Energy Transition 2. Green Resources • Biomass to Power • Biomass to Liquids • Biomass to Gas • Biomass to Products
Cluster: Energy Transition 3. Sustainable Mobility • Production of bio fuels • Mobility on Natural Gas • Market introduction / Retail
Cluster: Energy Transition 4. Sustainable Electricity • Zero Emission Power Plant Drachten • Offshore wind technology (Lagerweij) • Smart Solutions (Blue Energy / Tocardo)
Roll Out / Results • Jobs created • Conventional activities - 2000 fte • Knowledge & Innovation - 200 fte • Energy Transition - 150 fte
Roll Out / Prospects • Conventional activities - Usage available fields ~ €3 billion - Gas roundabout ~ €4 billion - Electricity cluster ~ €6 billion • Knowledge & Innovation - Scientific personnel ~ 1.200 fte • Energy Transition - New Gas ~ 35 projects - Green Resources ~ 25 projects - Sustainable Mobility ~ 15 projects - Sustainable Electricity ~ 10 projects ~ €1.4 billion
Example Project: Smart Power System • Joint initiative Gasunie Trade & Supply, Bosch/Nefit, Remeha en Vaillant/Hepworth • Innovation Make Micro CHP’s more effective towards an large scale market introduction • Concept - Decentral energy management (ICT-driven environment) - Sustainable energy - Business opportunities
