The Netherlands is facing a huge challenge in the field of climate and energy. In the climate agreement, Dutch organizations and companies aim to reduce CO2 emissions by 49% in 2030 compared to 1990. The National Climate Act has tightened this goal to at least a 55% reduction by 2030, followed by climate neutrality in 2050.
A sustainable energy supply is also increasingly seen as important in the context of strategic autonomy. To achieve these climate goals, governments, businesses, and citizens must work together to undergo a major societal transition that impacts areas such as the built environment, mobility, industry, agriculture, and our electricity supply.
The researchers at Dialogic can support governments in this process with thorough research and advice. Some of the ways in which we do this include:
- Monitoring and evaluation of climate and energy policy
For the accountability of government policy, good monitoring and evaluation are desirable. Dialogic has conducted various (policy) evaluations in the climate and energy domain in recent years, for example of the energy innovation schemes, the Legal Research Tasks for Nature and Environment, the 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 digitalization on energy infrastructure
Digitalization of energy infrastructure contributes to more efficient energy use. At the same time, the complexity of the energy system increases. Dialogic can use both quantitative and more qualitative research methods to map the impact of digitalization on energy infrastructure. Previously, we have researched the cybersecurity risks of smart devices and the impact of digitalization on the electricity grid. - Research on sustainable innovation ecosystems
Innovations are a key requirement for the sustainability of our society. Systems are needed to guide this transition, where complementary innovation activities collectively contribute to societal objectives. Dialogic is an expert in mission-oriented innovation policy and system and transition policy. Dialogic was involved in the development of the new evaluation framework for system and transition policy 'Dare to learn, keep measuring'. In recent years, Dialogic has also conducted research on various sustainable innovation ecosystems, for example in the aviation and maritime sectors. Additionally, Dialogic has participated in such ecosystems during the development of various growth fund proposals.
