#2 – Tinne Van der Straeten (Minister of Energy) and Tom Van Den Noortgaete (Division Director Energy, Sweco Belgium) about Energy

The European Union wants to become completely climate-neutral by 2050 at the latest, and obviously this should not be achieved at the expense of energy supply. That is certainly a monumental challenge! That is why we are currently undertaking the largest ever reconstruction of our energy system in Belgium. Energy efficiency, renewable energy, hydrogen and storage technology, interconnectivity, CCUS (Carbon Capture Usage and Storage), ... these terms are not yet part of our daily vocabulary, but they are part of the solution to a sustainable energy transition. The optimism of Minister for Energy, Tinne Van der Straeten and Tom Van Den Noortgaete, Division Director Energy at Sweco Belgium, is already infectious: "The coming 10 years will be incredibly exciting in terms of energy transition."
