Climate and Energy Outlook 2022: Dutch Emissions and Policy Projections

The Climate and Energy Outlook (KEV) 2022 dataset from the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) provides annual monitoring of climate policy progress. It contains projections for Dutch greenhouse gas emissions up to 2030, showing an expected reduction of 39-50% compared to 1990 levels. The data covers developments in energy supply, consumption, agriculture, and land use, connecting autonomous trends with international developments.

Use Cases

• Modeling greenhouse gas emission trajectories based on adopted and planned policy measures mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the gap between projected emissions and national climate targets based on the 55% reduction goal
• Assessing integrated developments in energy supply and consumption sectors described in the report
• Evaluating connections between domestic trends and international developments as outlined in the KEV

Strengths

• Explicitly mandated by the Dutch Climate Act for policy monitoring
• Provides a specific emissions reduction projection range (39-50% by 2030 compared to 1990)
• Offers an integral picture covering energy and non-energy sectors like agriculture
