The potential of geothermic warmth is tremendous , and the offset organization Geothermal Netherlands is convert of this . Yet , the output of geothermic heat in 2021 was almost the same as in 2020 . In 2021 6.4 PJ ( PetaJoule ) of heat was produce compare to 6.2 PJ in 2020 , according to a statistical overview .
Only a smattering of projects have been added that produce heat equate to 2020 . 19 newfangled projects have an SDE subsidy and are yet to gain production . For the majority of these projection , it is still uncertain whether they will get off the ground in time . They have to deal with delayed granting of permits or the heat requirement in the build surround is still complex .
Geothermal Energy Netherlands , therefore , argues for an extension of the effectuation flow of the SDE for geothermal energy to six years in guild to forbid skilful , sustainable projects from not being substantiate . In total , there are close to 70 project that would like to start in the coming old age , render that the subsidy , permission , and heat energy need are arranged in good prison term .

Action neededHans Bolscher , Chairman of Geothermal Energy Netherlands : " activeness by the government and politicians is involve to get those project that are still in development off the ground . The sphere is poised for strong growth , but no SDE subsidy have been granted for geothermic energy in the retiring two years . oodles of projects are quick if thing go better with permits and subsidy . In the future , geothermic energy will be capable to adjoin about 25 % of the Netherlands ' total heat need in a sustainable manner , and in the greenhouse horticulture sphere , this figure will be more than 50 % . Fortunately , there is plenty of support from politicians - as show by the motions and amendment submitted to amend the Mining Act - and politicians are calling on the State Secretary and Minister to hold geothermic get-up-and-go in various ways . But the governance really needs to speed up in rules of order to realize this potentiality for sustainable heat - powerful now . "
Alternative to lifelike gasThe utilization of geothermic heating currently salvage more than 181 million m3 of natural gas per year . This is equivalent to the enjoyment of natural gasolene for a city the size of Eindhoven . So all in all , that already mean a considerable preservation in CO2 emissions . " These first initiatives have laid a solid fundament for further scale up . Many more well in many more places are needed to realize the ambitions of the Climate Agreement . This will also quickly reduce our dependence on natural gas . "
