The city has projected to achieve a 40% reduction in CO2 emission by 2025 when compared to 1990.
Alderman Vos, Environment, said, ‘By also investing in sustainable energy ourselves, we will show the market that we believe in this development and that Amsterdam attaches great importance to sustainable energy production. Together with trade and industry we want to make Amsterdam a place of sustainable energy production.’
Alderman Gehrels, Trade and Industry, added, ‘A sustainable energy company would create opportunities for a new sector in the city. Becoming less dependent on fossil fuel energy sources is not only important in terms of climate change; it would also contribute to a healthy economic future for Amsterdam.’
