Energy Lab Southeast

By 2050, the City of Amsterdam aims to reduce its CO2 emissions by 95% compared to 1990 emissions, with the goal of not further exceeding the earth's natural limits. To achieve this goal, Amsterdam is working to become a natural gas-free, emission-free and energy-neutral city. Amsterdam Zuidoost goes a step further and aims to be energy-neutral by 2040. The development of Amsterdam Zuidoost offers opportunities to combine sustainability with poverty reduction and social improvement. For example, by improving the living comfort of homes when they are renovated. Or by creating local employment opportunities during large-scale renovations. Realizing this requires cooperation from many different parties. Both the government and residents, as well as companies and researchers. The Energie Lab Zuidoost brings these parties together. The goal is to contribute scientific expertise directly to the issues and projects in Amsterdam Southeast.
