THE ENERGY TRANSITION IN A NATIONAL CONTEXT: THE NEED TO CHANGE DIRECTION

In two presentations by Floris Alkemade and Geert Verbong, the challenges of the energy transition will be discussed from a different point of view.

In our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions the transport and mobility sector stands out. In most sectors emissions are decreasing, but in transport they are still increasing. We still travel more and fly to more distant sites, and the global transport chains keep expanding. This makes the transition to a more sustainable mobility system a huge challenge. During this EnergyDays we will discuss different approaches and solutions to address this challenge.
