Think of old city centres and rural areas where heat networks or electrification are only feasible to a limited extent. This is where green gas contributes to the energy transition. Both the Dutch Climate Agreement and the coalition agreement set the target for the production of 2 billion cubic metres (bcm) of green gas in the Netherlands annually from 2030 onwards. This is almost ten times as much as was produced in this country in 2021, meaning that production needs to be scaled up substantially to meet this target.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        \n            <div id=\"role-of-ebn-in-green-gas\">\n                <h2>Role of EBN in green gas<\/h2>\n                <p>EBN has a share in many mining sites in the Netherlands and is exploring whether the production of green gas can be integrated at some of these sites.
