The Netherlands faces a huge challenge in the field of climate and energy. In the climate agreement, Dutch organisations and companies have set the goal to reduce CO2 emissions by 49% in 2030 compared to 1990. The National Climate Act has tightened this goal to a reduction of at least 55% by 2030, aiming for climate neutrality by 2050.
A sustainable energy supply is increasingly seen as important for strategic autonomy. To achieve these climate goals, governments, companies, and citizens must work together to undergo a major societal transition involving areas such as the built environment, mobility, industry, agriculture, and our electricity supply.
The researchers at Dialogic can support governments in this by providing thorough research and advice. Here are some ways in which we do this:
- Monitoring and evaluation of climate and energy policy
Good monitoring and evaluation are essential for government policy accountability. Dialogic has conducted various (policy) evaluations in the climate and energy domain in recent years, such as the energy innovation schemes, the Statutory Research Tasks for Nature and Environment, fiscal measures for (plug-in) electric vehicles, and the energy strategy of the municipality of Venray. With extensive experience in various evaluation methods across different sectors, Dialogic has the right skills to support policymakers. - Effects of digitisation on energy infrastructure
Digitising energy infrastructure contributes to more efficient energy use but also increases the complexity of the energy system. Dialogic can map out the impact of digitisation on energy infrastructure using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. For example, we have conducted research on the cyber security risks of smart devices and the impact of digitisation on the electricity grid. - Research on sustainable innovation ecosystems
Innovations are crucial for the sustainability of our society. Systems are needed to provide direction to this transition, where complementary innovation activities collectively contribute to societal goals. Dialogic is an expert in mission-driven innovation policy and system and transition policy. Dialogic was involved in developing the new evaluation framework for system and transition policy 'Dare to learn, continue to measure'. In recent years, Dialogic has also conducted research on various sustainable innovation ecosystems, for example in the aviation and maritime sectors. Dialogic has also participated in such ecosystems during the development of various growth fund proposals.
