The objective of the group is
The group focuses on policy for renewable electricity as well as on renewable heat and biofuels. Most work is on a national or a European scale. Incidentally, the group is involved in a study with a global scale. In the Netherlands and Europe the group has obtained a solid position in research and policy advice. The group aims to maintain its position in the Netherlands and to expand its position in Europe.
The group focuses particularly on applications of biomass, because most of the current issues in renewable energy lie in that area and the group is well-equipped to provide new insights on this subject. At the same time, with a new national renewable energy target of 20% in 2020, an ambitious target for offshore wind energy is again in sight. The group is well positioned to answer research questions articulated by various Ministeries related to deployment paths, costs, benefits, spatial impacts on other sea functions and grid integration.
