To meet the national objectives for 2020, the previous Dutch Government was implementing the policy programme ‘Clean and efficient’ (in Dutch: Schoon en Zuinig). This programme includes both policies in place and policy options and plans. When both current and planned policies are taken into account, national emission level in 2020 is projected to vary between 182 and 222 Mtonnes CO2 equivalent, 4 % above to 15 % below the 1990 emission level. This level is excluding the emission rights purchased by ETS companies. Source: Environmental Balance 2009 http://www.pbl.nl/en/publications/2009/Environmental-Balance-2009.-Summary.html
The European ‘effort-sharing’ target for the Netherlands requires an emission reduction of 16 % by 2020, compared to 2005, for the non-ETS sectors. This target falls within the projected emission range of 89-105 Mtonnes, when both current and planned policies are taken into account. The newly elected government, into power since October 2010, has announced to revise the climate strategy of its predecessor.
