Footprint calculations with Exiobase
The quality Exiobase as far as the Netherlands is concerned is substantially improved by harmonizing the data with the Dutch national accounts.
Construction sector leading in waste and recycling
Reuse of recycled materials contributes to the government target of realising a fully circular economy by 2050. The construction sector generated the most waste in 2016 but also used half of all...
Electricity balance sheet; supply and consumption 1919-2018
Central and decentral production, imports, exports, consumption, via national and industrial grids, grid losses.
Mainly more green electricity from solar power
In 2018, the Netherlands generated 8 percent more electricity from renewable sources than in the previous year. Electricity production from solar power increased in particular.
Dutch environmental footprint increases slightly
The average greenhouse gas footprint of Dutch consumers rose from 15.1 tonnes CO2 equivalents per capita in 2017 to 15.8 tonnes in 2018. Between 2008 and 2016 the footprint declined. Consumption of...
More jobs in renewable energy and energy efficiency
In 2017, altogether 54 thousand full-time jobs in the Netherlands were associated with renewable energy and energy efficiency. This number was up from 35 thousand in 2008.
Consumption of renewable energy stable
Dutch consumption of renewable energy levelled off in 2007.
Share of renewable energy up to 4 percent
Renewable energy accounted for approximately 4 percent of total domestic energy consumption in the Netherlands last year versus 3.4 percent in 2008.
Production renewable electricity down in 2007
The production of renewable electricity dropped from 6.5 percent of domestic electricity consumption in 2006 to 6.0 percent in 2007.
More renewable electricity generated
Last year, 12.2 billion kWh of renewable electricity was generated, i.e. more than 10 percent of total electricity consumption in the Netherlands and just above the production level in 2011.
Stable production of renewable electricity
In 2011 wind energy, hydro power, solar power and biomass produced 12 billion kWh of electricity. This is almost 10 percent of the Dutch consumption of electricity and close to the production in 2010.
Lower renewable electricity production
Last year, 11.8 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of renewable electricity were generated, i.e. 10.1 percent of total electricity consumption in the Netherlands and 0.4 percentage points below the level...
Growing consumption of sustainable energy
The consumption of sustainable energy in the Netherlands increased from 2.9 to 3.4 percent of total domestic energy consumption in 2008.
Renewable electricity more and more important
In 2009, generation of renewable electricity has risen to nearly 9 percent of total domestic electricity consumption. The objective of the Dutch government was to raise the share of renewable energy...
Renewable energy consumption relatively low in the Netherlands
In 2006, renewable energy made up 2.7 percent of total energy consumption in the Netherlands, distinctly lower than the average of 6.8 percent across the EU-15.
Only 5.5 percent of energy comes from renewable sources
The Netherlands performs poorly when it comes to meeting the targets as agreed upon in the EU Directive Renewable Energy for 2020. In fact, only France does worse. The target set for the Netherlands...
