Do we even need to explain why sustainable energy matters? The future of fossil fuels is unsustainable because of CO2 emissions and their impact on the climate. And let’s not forget the importance of being independent from the major gas suppliers outside of Europe.
That’s why we focus on sustainable sources that can be renewed within a single generation. This covers energy from the sun, water, and wind—basically, green energy.
Akkeliene Postma from Kloesewier in De Veenhoop worked hard to make the old school gas-free. It was a long process: insulating the windows, cavity walls and floors. Also the roof was covered with solar panels. This generates a high return thanks to the installed heat pumps. This energy is stored in large boiler tanks, providing hot water for showers and low-temperature heating throughout the school.
Broodje Boppe represents short, sustainable supply chains and the authentic taste of Friesland. Together with Frisian suppliers, bakers, chefs, and Dutch Cuisine, a delicious, locally made, gourmet sandwich has been created.
A lot is happening in Friesland in the field of energy. For example, the Freonen fan Fossylvrij Fryslân , they are active in the network to accelerate the transition to sustainable mobility. Do you remember the Elfwegentocht in 2018? Back then, it was unique to visit the Eleven Cities with a long convoy of electric cars. Nowadays, electric driving has become increasingly common.
An other example is the Friese Energie Alliantie. It consists of 11 engaged social organizations, including Circulair Friesland, which actively contribute to the development of the Regional Energy Strategy. Within the Frisian Energy Table, they share knowledge and work closely together to address the various energy challenges in Friesland.
