We support Vattenfall HEAT in its development into a stakeholder oriented organization, in which interests and tensions in the environment are identified early on and adequately taken into account in decision-making and work processes.

The Netherlands is phasing out natural gas. This means that homes, offices, and other buildings will need to be heated using alternative methods. One of these alternatives is district heating. District heating offers the possibility of connecting to more sustainable heat sources, which will eventually enable the development of CO2-free solutions, such as solar, hydrogen, geothermal, aquathermal, and heat from data centers.

The construction of new heat sources and the laying of district heating networks has significant implications for the environment. District heating networks are often necessary in densely populated areas. Both above and below ground there are aspects to consider. It therefore helps to have insight into all possibilities, obstacles, and the needs and wishes of stakeholders, both now and in the near future, as quickly as possible. With that environmental information, informed choices can be made.

WesselinkVanZijst supports Vattenfall HEAT in its development towards a stakeholder oriented organization, where interests and tensions in the environment are identified early on and adequately incorporated into decision-making and work processes.
