According to Reuters, government representatives showcased a number of measures that should allow CO2 emissions to be 55% lower by 2030 compared to 1990, such as increasing taxes for rich-emissions industries and also building offshore solar parks.

In 2022, the Netherlands was able to achieve 30% lower emissions compared to levels in 1990 and country climate minister Rob Jetten said that "the Netherlands has for years missed its climate goals. Now it's time for a great leap forward."

The new measures, if implemented correctly, could allow the country to lower its environmental footprint by 60% before the next decade, surpassing the initial goals.

Country officials also aim for a net-zero energy system by 2035, which will be achieved through converting gas-powered stations to hydrogen power and also connecting wind turbines to off-the-grid energy storage systems.

Carbon neutrality should also be achieved by energy-intensive industries, which should increase the use of green hydrogen and also the implementation of recycled materials.
