In each of the scenarios it is anticipated that the use of geothermal energy, heat from third parties and purchased electricity will grow.
Towards the year 2030, far-reaching changes are foreseen for greenhouse horticulture in the Westland region. Expectations range from pessimistic, to moderate and even optimistic, according to research by Wageningen Economic Research commissioned by Capturam.
The biggest change will be in terms of energy supply, as they will rely less on natural gas and more on sustainable sources and purchasing heat and electricity from third parties. This stems from a changing energy demand and sector structure, government policy and sustainability efforts of greenhouse horticulture companies and their partners. This shift in energy sources will have a favorable effect on the reduction of CO2 emissions and the increase in the share of renewable energy.
