Some 19 local governments will receive funding to create entirely gas-free neighbourhoods
The Government of the Netherlands will be providing almost 100 million euros to the country's municipalities for the creation of gas-free or natural gas free villages, districts or neighbourhoods, announced the Ministry of the Interior on Monday. This is the second round of a trial programme, in which a total of 19 municipalities were selected among 71 applicants – a result demonstrating great interest at the municipal level, according to the Ministry.
The Natural Gas-Free Neighbourhoods Program (PAW) is now in its second round. As part of it, municipalities gain knowledge and experience on how to make existing neighbourhoods free from fossil fuels in an affordable way. In fact, all Dutch municipalities are making plans for natural gas-free transition and some are already very along the way.
With the testing grounds and the knowledge and learning program, PAW is contributing to achieving the Climate Agreement's objectives of making 1.5 million homes and other buildings more sustainable before 2030.
The aim of the program is to learn how Natural gas-free neighbourhoods can be organized and scaled up. This requires real gas-free homes and other buildings to be established through a neighbourhood-oriented approach. Within the PAW, approximately 50,000 homes and other buildings are expected to be made more sustainable.
This intergovernmental programme involves the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate, the Union of Dutch Provinces, the Union of Water Boards and the Association of Dutch Municipalities. They all work together to provide municipalities and stakeholders with support in the natural gas-free transition.
The first round of the initiative dating back to October 2018 involved 27 municipalities. They will now be joined by another 19 for a total of 46 participating local governments. For this second round, the National government will be awarding a grant for a total of almost 100 million euros to the participating administrative entities.
The new joiners, however, contribute not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of variety to the programme, due to the heating techniques, approaches to citizen involvement and the type of neighbourhood and homes, the announcement also reads. The list includes large cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Groningen, but also medium and small-sized towns.
Should everything go as planned, a new round of testing will follow in 2021, based on the evaluation of the current stage. It is expected to put more emphasis on the step-by-step solutions that allow the saving of high quantities of CO2.
