CE Delft has carried out a climate outlook for the Municipality of Dordrecht using our CEGEM model. We mapped greenhouse gas emissions in Dordrecht for 2022 and show how these emissions are expected to develop towards 2030 and 2050 as a result of national policy and autonomous developments.
Towards 2030 and 2050, emissions in Dordrecht decrease as a result of national policy and autonomous developments. In particular, the national transition to more sustainable electricity generation contributes to this reduction. Gas consumption in the service sector also declines as a result of the revised European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD IV). This directive requires Member States to renovate non-residential buildings with poor energy performance.
In the mobility sector, emissions decline due to the electrification of the vehicle fleet. This trend accelerates after 2030 as a result of new European CO₂ standards for trucks and stricter standards for passenger cars and vans. In addition, several smaller developments also contribute to emission reductions.
