We face, as the Netherlands, major challenges, to get our energy system in order by 2030 to the point where we meet the European goal of 55% CO2 reduction, let alone the 60% the Netherlands is aiming for.
One of the important elements for this is to have the necessary amount of green power available.
- how should we go about it?
By 2030, we will have much more green power than we have now, thanks to the 21 GW of offshore wind and perhaps 30 GW of PV panels on land. But we must then put that green power to good use.
First and foremost, we need to ensure that we have flexible customers who can take the large fluctuating power from wind and solar at the right times.
Secondly, we need to serve mainly those customers who save as much CO2 as possible per TWh of green power supplied.
We, as Team E-South of KIVI Electrical Engineering, have recently investigated this in detail by doing detailed system simulations for the expected situation in 2030.
The simulations were based on wind and solar data over a three-year period. In doing so, we tried to use the available green power mainly for the reduction of CO2 emissions.
Our conclusion is that we will not reach 55% with the existing plans.
One promising customer is electric vehicles (EVs). They save a lot of CO2 emissions per TWh consumed.
If we had enough EVs by 2030, we could meet the target with green power. But there probably won't be any by then.
So how do we approach making the Energy Plan NL 2030?
A number of promising options discussed were also included in the system simulations, see further the presentation under "Documents" Netherlands CO2 minus 60 per cent 21 September 2022 KIVI-EL.
Further to answering the chats, the Other) questions will be answered in writing (Q & A), in addition the report will be worked on.
