Green4sure

Green4sure aims to showcase the possibility of achieving a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions and ensuring a sustainable energy supply without new nuclear plants in the Netherlands. The plan highlights how individuals, companies, and government can change their behaviors, and provides an in-depth analysis of the costs, benefits, and effects of various energy sources and instruments. Emphasis is placed on increasing efficiency, using renewables, reducing volume, and promoting public support for a cleaner future. The plan also addresses the social dimension of sustainable energy development and the need for government leadership.

  4. Green4sure • Steps: • research • working group • instruments • the green energy plan • communication

  5. Green4sure • Research led by CE Delft • sectoral analysis • calculation of costs and benefits • special issues • in-depth studies and scenarios

  6. Green4sure • sectoral analysis • households and services • industry • transport • electricity

  7. Green4sure • Costs and benefits • National effects on economy • Effects on employment • Effects on income

  8. Green4sure • Special issues • stimulate renewables • CCS • innovation strategy • biomass

  10. Green4sure • What to do? • Increase efficiency • Use of renewables • Reduce volume

  11. Green4sure • How to achieve 50% reduction? • government instruments • freedom within limits • security of supply • strengthen ‘clean’ industry • Public support!

  12. Green4sure • Instruments • Intensive users - 25 to 40% • (competitive sectors) • industry • generation • extensive users - 60 to 75% • (non-competitive sectors) • households • personal transport • services

  13. Green4sure • The green energy plan • ‘Climate bill’ • Progressive standards • Energy savings • ‘Pollutor Pays!’ principle

  14. Green4sure • Effects: households and services

  15. What new jobs? • Energy savings company • Combined Heat and Power • micro-generation • off-shore wind power • R&D

  16. Union position • Sustainable economic, environmental, • and SOCIAL development • EU-plans have a lack of social dimension • Energy is a key public service • Social Dialogue

  17. Union position • Liberalisation does not lead to sustainable and secure energy supply, but • A sustainable and secure energy supply is possible in a liberalised energy market. • Governments must take the lead!

  18. Union position • Change in jobs • less low-skilled jobs • more high-skilled jobs • invest in lifetime learning
