Jilles van den Beukel | TU/e EnergyDays: Can we end fossil fuels?

March 27, 2023

Reducing the use of fossil fuels is necessary to address climate change. But for national security reasons it seems difficult to rid ourselves of coal, oil and gas. So, can it be done? And should policy focus on fossil fuels, or use generic climate policy instruments? Different academic perspectives co-exist on this controversial topic. On March 23rd, this Spring’s edition of the TU/e | EIRES EnergyDays brought several of these together to discuss whether – and how – we can end fossil fuels.

HCSS energy specialist Jilles van den Beukel spoke on “The role of fossil fuels in the Netherlands: past, present and future” (starting at 43 minutes in the video below).
