Frequently asked questions about the energy transition
What is the energy transition? What role does the built environment play in it?
The energy transition is the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources to reduce CO₂ emissions and promote sustainability. The built environment contributes by improving energy efficiency, enabling local energy production (e.g., solar panels) and participating in Smart Energy Hubs for integrated energy solutions.
How does the energy transition in the Netherlands support the 2030 and 2050 targets? What role does an energy transition model play?
The Netherlands aims for a 49% CO₂ reduction by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. An energy transition model helps companies achieve these goals by providing a structured approach to adopting sustainable energy with a focus on industry needs and decarbonization.
What role do businesses play in the energy transition? How does Kiwa support them?
Businesses advance the energy transition by decarbonizing processes and investing in renewable energy. Kiwa supports them through services like the Energy Scan, offering advice on energy efficiency, CO₂ reduction and integrating renewable energy sources like hydrogen.
What does the energy transition look like in practice?
Examples include implementing solar panels, wind turbines, hydrogen as a fuel in transportation and industry and heat pumps in the built environment.
What are the costs associated with the energy transition for businesses?
Energy transition costs include investments in new technologies, adapting existing infrastructure and operational changes. Over time, these investments lead to savings by reducing energy consumption and CO₂ costs.
Frequently asked questions about renewable energy
How can companies integrate renewable energy storage with a Smart Energy Hub for business applications?
Companies can combine renewable energy storage technologies like battery systems and hydrogen storage with a Smart Energy Hub. This optimizes energy balance, providing a stable energy supply, lower costs and a smoother energy transition.
How can a company achieve climate neutrality with renewable energy?
To achieve climate neutrality, companies can reduce CO₂ emissions through energy efficiency, use renewable energy sources and offset unavoidable emissions with green energy certificates.
What is an energy-neutral company? How can businesses begin producing green energy?
An energy-neutral company generates or purchases as much renewable energy as it consumes. Businesses can start by investing in renewable energy production, such as solar panels or wind turbines, and by participating in initiatives like Smart Energy Hubs. Kiwa's Energy Scan provides insights into opportunities for green energy production.
What is a Smart Hydrogen Hub and how does it fit into the energy transition?
A Smart Hydrogen Hub is a network focusing on the production, storage and distribution of hydrogen as a renewable energy source. It supports the energy transition by enabling companies to use hydrogen for energy storage and as a fuel, contributing to sustainable energy production and distribution.
