Knowledge Day Very Low Temperature Heat and Cold Grids
What contribution can Very Low Temperature (ZLT) heat and cold networks make to the energy system of the future?
On 6 March 2025, NPLW, RVO and TKI Urban Energy would like to take you into the world of ZLT heat and cold networks. Perhaps it is a new topic for you, or you are already working on ZLT grids. At the end of this day, everyone will go home with a good dose of knowledge about ZLT and how to implement it in your local heat transition task.
During the knowledge day, several frontrunners will share their stories and lessons learned. You will gain insight into the advantages and disadvantages of ZLT grids, which types there are and which design principles you use. We will explain which business models are available and how to get an overview of the financial costs and benefits of ZLT networks. In workshops, you will answer your own questions about, for example, participation with residents and partnerships with suppliers. And of course there is plenty of room for questions and networking.

Carbon Storage Dialogues: Realising Industrial Carbon Management
The importance of CCS, CCU and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) – both from point sources and from the atmosphere – is no longer a question. Currently, the first projects are actually being realised. At the same time, much work remains to be done: in and between each link in the value chain and in policy-making. This is to accelerate implementation, activate the supply chain and create commercial and social value.
During this afternoon, together with leading speakers, we will address some of the most pressing challenges, such as:
What policies are currently being developed at national and EU level to support CCS as a driver to decarbonise industry, such as through the production and deployment of blue hydrogen?
What is the potential of the Clean Industrial Deal for CCS for hard-to-sustain industries?
What can we learn from CCS projects outside the North Sea?
How can we activate a whole new supply chain needed to support CCS implementation, and mitigate the risks within it?
How can we ensure the timely readiness of (cross-border) on- and offshore transport solutions?
What are the prospects for the European CDR market for carbon dioxide removal?
When: 10 April 2025, 12:00 – 18:00

Open Energiedag 2025: zaterdag 20 september
The Netherlands is generating more and more energy from renewable sources, such as with wind turbines, solar panels, ground heat, heat pumps or from water. But how does generating renewable energy work? During the Open Energy Day, on September 20, everyone can come and see and experience for themselves how it works. All kinds of locations and projects will open their doors to visitors. Is your location also participating?
