Around 75% of Europe’s energy is currently transported in the form of gas molecules. While a growing share of this will be replaced by renewable electricity in the coming decades, molecules will continue to play a vital role, particularly in sectors that are difficult or impossible to electrify, such as heavy industry, high-temperature processes, and long-haul transport.
By 2050, the Netherlands alone is expected to need approximately 1,000 petajoules of energy from molecules. To meet this demand in a sustainable way, major investments are being made across Europe in low-carbon and renewable gases. The ambition is clear: by mid-century, green gases should account for roughly 50% of the energy mix.
This course offers an introduction to the role of low-carbon and renewable gases in the energy transition. Given by main lecturer, industry expert Bert Stuij
