There are currently several developments concerning energy that are affecting WUR's energy consumption. The war in Ukraine has made it clear how dependent we are on gas from Russia. In addition, action is needed to combat climate change. The government started an initiative ('turn the heat down') launched on 2 April, aimed at lowering temperatures in government buildings and households. What are WUR's plans and how does WUR intend to make its own energy consumption sustainable and reduce it?
With the concluded Climate Agreement and the announced 'Fit for 55' EU policy, the legislation and regulations surrounding the use of natural gas, electricity and carbon emissions are changing constantly. There is also growing urgency for taking action to combat climate change. These developments have made it both important and necessary for WUR to act and outline its own ambitions for dealing with the energy transition.
