Approach to Mobility
Description
Prior to this, from 19.00 - 19.45 hours, the annual General Members' Meeting will also take place, to which interested TME members are of course also welcome (for the agenda, see the link below).
The meeting will be introduced by Paulien Hoogvorst & Johan Slobbe and is part 2 of a series of meetings, in which KIVI engineers will give their views on the Energy Report. This Energy Dialogue will be presented to the Minister in autumn 2016.
About The Energy Report:
The Energy Report 2015 provides an integrated vision of the future energy supply in the Netherlands. In drafting the Energy Report, use was made of the advisory report "Rijk zonder CO2, naar een duurzame energievoorziening in 2050" by the Council for the Environment and Infrastructure (Rli).
The Energy Report is about the longer term: Dutch energy policy after 2023. It is thus the missing link between the 2013 Energy Agreement and the Paris agreements in late 2015 to finally curb warming. The energy agreement defines how we will achieve 16 per cent sustainably generated energy and substantial energy savings in the short term, until 2023 at the latest. The Paris climate agreements are about reducing CO2 emissions within Europe to 95 per cent by 2050.
With the Energy Report, the government is inviting citizens, businesses, knowledge institutions, other public authorities and civil society organisations to participate in a social dialogue in 2016. In it, everyone can have their say on the desired strategy to shape our future energy supply in a sustainable way.
About the KIVI TME Energy Dialogue:
TME feels addressed by the minister's call and calls on all KIVI engineers to participate. In 2016, TME will organise a trio of lectures highlighting part of the energy report; namely, the approach to energy-intensive industry and mobility change, followed by a concluding lecture on ways to organise those changes. After each lecture, TME publishes the introduction and invites KIVI members to respond. Reactions will be included in a round table discussion, before summer 2016.
About the content of the lecture: Transport is at the crossroads of innovations
Travel behaviour in our country is changing; working from home, reduced car ownership among young people, more car sharing, more web shopping, more elderly people on the road and more (e-)bicycle use may be causes. Technological developments are moving fast; the self-driving car, video conferencing, superfast trains. What do we see changing within a few years and what are the long-term opportunities? The Netherlands has the chance to be a leader in innovative, fast, safe and clean transport. The speakers will paint a picture of which development directions can help the Netherlands move forward, both literally and figuratively
Speaker(s)
Paulien Hoogvorst specialises in EV i.r.t. inductive charging and Smart-Grids; She has researched the feasibility of integrating renewable energy supply patterns with public transport bus demand. Technology enabling on-the-road charging combined with smart grids and storage capabilities, the feasibility of integration. It has been tested in four medium-sized cities in the Netherlands.
Johan Slobbe is an Energy Transition consultant (ex ECN, among others). He has broad insight into the sustainable transition path to 2050. In 2009, he advised the CU parliamentary party (2nd Chamber) on electric cars and the strategic development path for this. Since then, he has been actively following this theme
