All Royal Schiphol Group’s units are set to run on sustainable power from the beginning of 2018. The idea is that all the power will be generated by the new Dutch wind farms run by the energy company Eneco. In the meanwhile, wind farms will be supplied with other sustainable sources in the Netherlands.
This comes as a result of an ambitious plan launched by the Government, by which they intend to knock down greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and, in the shorter term, aims to switch to 16 percent sustainable energy by 2023. According to Jeroen de Hass, the Eneco Group’s CEO, “For the energy transition, it is crucial for the business sector to embrace sustainability”.
That’s why for the pioneers such as Royal Schiphol Group are consciously choosing new, sustainable ways of productoin and are therefore pave the way for others to come.
