Green gas is a sustainable gas. It belongs to the group of sustainable gases that play a role in the energy transition. Sustainable molecules are needed to keep the energy system energy secure, affordable and sustainable. Green gas is used as an alternative to fossil natural gas.
Energy is available everywhere and at all times. Energy security means that energy is available at any desired moment without interruptions. In the Netherlands this is taken for granted, but there are plenty of countries in the world where this is not the case.
CO₂ is the abbreviation for carbon dioxide. A natural gas that occurs on our earth. Humans and animals breathe it out and plants need CO₂ to grow. A little CO₂ in the air is normal. By burning natural gas, oil or coal for energy, for example to heat homes, generate electricity or make products, the amount of CO₂ in the air increases.
For many people, the energy transition feels big, complex and far away. But the energy transition actually consists of all the small choices we make every day. With smart, concrete choices you can save money, prevent energy waste and contribute to a more sustainable energy system in the Netherlands, all at the same time. Without major investments or technical knowledge, but with awareness and simple tools.
Alfa-college and HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht have joined the Powerplay partner network, bringing the serious game into vocational and higher education in the Netherlands.
