Abstract
After a brief introduction on the characteristics of renewable energy sources (active and passive solar energy, photovoltaic solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, geothermal energy and biomass) the most important renewable energy sources for the Netherlands (solar energy, wind energy and biomass) are discussed. By means of some examples and figures an overview is given of the role that can be plaid by sustainable energy sources in the Dutch energy supply. The situation in the Netherlands differs from other European countries with regard to climatological, geographical, demographical conditions and the amounts of energy consumed per capita. The state of the technology in the development of renewable energy sources is given. Problems, which have to be solved to stimulate the use of these sources, are the energy price, which is still too high compared to fossil fuels, the structure of the energy system (centralized or decentralized), storage facilities or storage medium, and other technological barriers. The overall conclusion is that the perspectives for the use of renewable energy sources can be considered to be positive.
