Learning objectives 3.4
  • You know the regional consequences of global warming for Europe and the most important EU agreements on the energy transition.
  • You understand the European measures for the energy transition and the need for climate adaptation.
  • You can indicate on a map which consequences of global warming occur where, and which areas are the most vulnerable.

Homework
3a) Southern Europe
3b) C heat waves

5a) A5, B6, C2, D3, E4, F1 (55th edition GB)
5b) GB 82A and C, GB 83A, B and D
5c) physical-geographical: The angle of incidence of the Sun is greater and there is little cloud cover in the desert.
5d) physical-geographical: The wind farms are on the Atlantic coast where the onshore wind often blows strongly.
5e) physical-geographical: It is too dry for the lush plant growth that is needed to fuel a biomass plant.
5f) socio-geographical: It is a sparsely populated desert.

#You know the consequences of global warming for Europe
Since the industrial revolution, the average temperature rise in Europe has been higher than other parts of the world.

Consequences for Europe:
  • glaciers melt, less surface covered with snow
  • more people die from high temperatures
  • new insects and diseases
  • less agricultural land and water
  • political tensions

Slide 6 - Slide

#You know the consequences of global warming for Europe
Which areas in Europe are most vulnerable?
  • river and coastal plains
  • Mediterranean area
  • mountain areas
  • polar region

In which areas is more extreme heat expected?
  • Mediterranean region
  • continental region
This will cause more forest fires.

In which area are heavier rain showers expected in the future?
  • Atlantic region

Slide 7 - Slide

#You understand the need for climate adaptation
The EU want to invest heavily in:
  • renewable energy sources
  • new energy infrastructure
  • climate adaptation

Adapt our surroundings and way of living to the expected changes in climate (climate adaptation).
and / or
Try to limit / minimize the impact of humankind to climate (climate mitigation).

Learning objectives 3.5
  • You know about the existence of the Climate Act and you know why the Netherlands has had a large CO2 emission per capita for a long time.
  • You understand why energy transition and climate adaptation can lead to spatial conflicts and why co-ownership of local residents is important when choosing the location of sustainable energy sources.
  • You can indicate on a map with area characteristics and area values which types of sustainable energy locations in certain areas are most or least suitable.

Slide 9 - Slide

#Learning objective: You know why the Netherlands has had a large CO2 emission per capita for a long time.
The Netherlands has long been the worst student in the European class.

What made the Dutch CO2 emissions so high?
  • extensive greenhouse horticulture
  • intensive livestock farming
  • chemical industry
  • coal-fired power stations

In order to tackle CO2 emissions, the Dutch government has laid down agreements in the Climate Act.

Functionalities:
  • Power and light
  • High temperature heat
  • Low temperature heat
  • Transport

Slide 11 - Slide

Functionalities:
A. Power and light
B. High temperature heat
C. Low temperature heat
D. Transport

Plans:
  1. Charging cars automatically when the electricity price is low
  2. Use biofuels
  3. Driving on hydrogen
  4. Electricity grids not only one-way traffic through the use of smart grids
  5. Reduce natural gas consumption by using a heat pump, for example
  6. CO2-low production
  7. Capture and storage of CO2 in old natural gas fields

Slide 12 - Slide

Functionalities:
A. Power and light - 1 and 4
B. High temperature heat - 6 and 7
C. Low temperature heat - 5
D. Transport - 2 and 3

Plans:
  1. Charging cars automatically when the electricity price is low
  2. Use biofuels
  3. Driving on hydrogen
  4. Electricity grids not only one-way traffic through the use of smart grids
  5. Reduce natural gas consumption by using a heat pump, for example
  6. CO2-low production
  7. Capture and storage of CO2 in old natural gas fields

#Learning objective: You understand why energy transition and climate adaptation can lead to spatial conflicts and why co-ownership of local residents is important when choosing the location of sustainable energy sources.

Slide 14 - Slide

Energy storing
Energy can be stored by using:
  • batteries
  • tank with hydrogen (most effective)

Hydrogen is an energy carrier, what does that mean?
  • The energy is generated elsewhere and stored in hydrogen.
  • Then it is either used in the gas network or converted back to energy.
