Status Energy Dialogue
Description
This is part 5 of a series of meetings in which KIVI engineers, ministries & energy spokespeople give their views on the Energy Report. In the autumn of 2016, the results of the Energy Dialogue were presented to the Minister, leading to the Energy Agenda.
Next, we want to gain PARTY influence in the Lower House elections by jointly writing a letter to the energy spokespersons of all political parties.
Goal: 10-point plan that politicians must adhere to regardless of political colour (preconditions/ draft rules).
Final result: send LOTS OVERSTIJGEND 10-point plan to all political parties.
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 advice "Rijk zonder CO2, naar een duurzame energievoorziening in 2050 " by the Council for the Environment and Infrastructure (Rli).
The Energy Report deals with the longer term: Dutch energy policy after 2023. It is thus the missing link between the 2013 Energy Agreement and the Paris agreements of mid-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, companies, 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 for shaping 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 organised about four lectures, each highlighting a part of the Energy Report; namely, the approach to energy-intensive industry (I), the change in mobility (II), and the challenges in the agribusiness sector (III), followed by a concluding meeting on the options for organising those changes. After each lecture, TME publishes the introduction and invites KIVI members to respond. Responses were taken into account in a roundtable discussion on 21 June 2016, leading to this report (see link below)
All the outputs together from all the Energy Dialogues: (see link below).
About the Energy Agenda:
The Energy Agenda sets out how the Netherlands will emit hardly any greenhouse gases (CO2) by 2050: (see links below)
