    Abstract

    In three separate scenario’s far-reaching changes are foreseen for the energy-supply of the greenhouse horticulture industry situated in the region Westland in 2030. The scenario’s differentiate a pessimistic, a moderate and an optimistic approach towards the development of greenhouse horticulture business in the region Westland. The optimistic scenario brings the most far-reaching changes of the energy supply options. These options will rely less on natural gas and more on sustainable energy and purchase of heat and electricity from third parties. These changes are the result of changes in energy demand, changes in sector structure, governmental policies and sustainability efforts of the greenhouse horticulture industry and their partners. These changes will have an positive effect on CO2-emission reduction and increasing the proportion of sustainable energy. Also came forward that making energy supply more sustainable is linked to modern greenhouses, cooperation between greenhouse businesses, their partners and governments is essential and supply of external CO2 is of major importance.
