New Energy Coalition: we know energy transition

We look for workable solutions to energy issues.
We regard the energy transition as a system transformation. Whether it’s about generation, storage, distribution or use of energy, we consider the entire chain as a whole in our quest for solutions.

There is a reason why we are located in the north of the Netherlands. This region has been supplying the Netherlands with energy for many decades and it has the resources to continue doing so in the future. The source of energy is changing: in our energy history we went from peat to natural gas and now to renewable energy, but the expertise, infrastructure and innovations in the field of energy will remain. It is in this region where the transition to a clean energy system for future generations has its roots. New Energy Coalition brings together knowledge, research, technology and entrepreneurship. From our position, we want to be a catalyst for a smart energy transition.

Energy transition: five themes

In our quest, New Energy Coalition is guided by five key themes. Independently, and as a whole, these themes contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable energy system. The choice of the five themes stems from our vision of the future energy system and the path towards it. Our founding fathers and our origins in the Northern Netherlands also play an important role. Thanks to its infrastructure, size and proximity to the North Sea, this region has everything it needs to contribute to the energy transition within the five guiding themes.

Local Energy Systems

The energy transition is resulting in a shift to local energy systems in villages, neighbourhoods and business parks. Each local system requires its own technical and social solutions.

Industrial Transformation

Industry is a major consumer of fossil energy. Changes in industrial processes and the use of alternative, clean fuels and raw materials have a major impact on increasing sustainability.

North Sea as an Energy Region

The North Sea is very suitable for generating and bringing a large amount of clean energy ashore and can therefore play an important role in making the energy system more sustainable.

Greening of the gas system

Gas will continue to play a key role in the energy system in the future. New Energy Coalition wants to ensure that as much of it as possible is renewable gas.

Energy transition as a system transformation

We regard the energy transition as a system transformation. Our work encompasses all issues relating to energy. Rather than just one aspect of the transition we cover the entire chain, from generation, storage and distribution to use of energy. We believe that real change is only possible if we look at all aspects of the energy system in relation to each other. New Energy Coalition does this by driving market innovations and support energy education for the people who will work with the energy system of tomorrow.

Innovation

We believe in open innovation! Innovations that lead to real progress are the result of open collaborations.

Education

The energy transition requires well-trained professionals with knowledge of the present and future. New Energy Coalition provides courses that deliver training where it is needed.
