Energy transition
The subsurface plays a major role in the transition towards a sustainable energy system. The expertise of the Geological Survey of the Netherlands (GDN) is helping to make that transition possible. We provide knowledge about the local production of geothermal energy. The storage of sustainable (solar and wind) energy in former natural gas fields and salt caverns will become indispensable in the coming decades. Moreover, the underground storage of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide will also directly contribute to combating climate change.
