“By 2050, Rotterdam wants to be climate neutral: we no longer want to contribute to climate change. Because the CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases are a major cause of climate change, we want to reduce them significantly.

This is also useful because in the future, much less natural gas will be produced in Groningen. In addition, we are preparing ourselves for the consequences of climate change, such as flooding and heat stress”
