As a forerunner in the energy transition, it is of course important that we look at our COâ‚‚ footprint. In addition, we like to think along with you.

Yes, websites also have a carbon footprint...

The internet consumes a lot of electricity. 416.2 TWh per year to be exact. That is more than the whole of the United Kingdom per year in total.

Mission Agriculture and Nature

The agriculture and nature system aims to achieve net climate neutrality
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the production of food and non-food products by agriculture is a significant challenge. This is because it involves biological processes that naturally result in emissions. On the other hand, agriculture can also sequester additional carbon in crops and soil. To achieve the desired net reduction, a significant effort in knowledge and innovation is required.

Two of the Meerjarige Missiegedreven Innovatieprogramma’s (MMIP’s) cover themes related to agriculture and land use:

Furthermore, developments in other sectors have an impact on the challenge of achieving climate-neutral agriculture and nature, such as the built environment, sustainable electricity generation, industry, and mobility.

Agriculture and Nature

The system of agriculture and nature achieving net climate neutrality

  • The aim of this MMIP is to make a maximum contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in the Netherlands. This includes reducing emissions from livestock farming and agricultural soils, as well as increasing carbon sequestration in forests and nature.

    The key focus areas include:

    • Reducing methane emissions from animals.
    • Reducing methane and nitrous oxide emissions from barns and manure storage, including upgrading manure.
    • Understanding the factors that contribute to nitrous oxide production in soils.
    • Developing new fertilization products and strategies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
    • Reducing oxidation in peatlands.
    • Increasing carbon sequestration in forests and nature.
