Introduction page

Dear Sirs,,

Welcome, I am a Dutchman and living in the low lands of The Netherlands (NL). If You are interested you can find some information on my background and energy related topics.

What is the Energy Strategy for Europe ?
European Energy Programme for Recovery

. The European Commission is looking at cost-efficient ways to make the European economy more climate-friendly and less energy-consuming. 20-20-20 by 2020. Reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions by 20 % compared to 1990. Increase the share of renewable energy sources in energy consumption to 20%. 20% increase in energy efficiency (-20% energy consumption)

EU(NL) / Energy efficiency. EUROPE 2020 initiative - Energy Efficiency Plan 2011 e.g. Energy Efficiency Directive (Energy Efficiency label).

EU(NL) / Energy trading and transparency. EU-Emissions Trading System (CO2)

Now we (in Northwestern Europe) can follow market results:

"Gas & Power Trading".

EU(NL) / Reduction greenhouse gas emissions. Are member states meeting their Kyoto 2012 carbon dioxide(CO2) emission targets? At "Europe's Energy Portal"

we can follow emission monitors.

what it is and how to measure it

CARBON FOOTPRINT
Life Cycle Thinking and Assessment

EU(NL) / Climate Change. U.S.-EU:

"average global temperature ought not to exceed 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels". G8:

"Tackling climate change is a global priority".

(greenhouse gas) emissions (e.g. CO2, SO2, NOx, Particulate Matter).

EU(NL) / One Earth to protect. Witness yourself our changing planet in e.g. the environmentally conscious documentary "HOME"

(1.h 33.min). Is protecting the environment important ?

KO / Local technical challenges.
Yes, protecting our local environment is important. Information alone is not enough, knowledge can lead to innovation. Succes only by cooperation.
Innovations are complex: realization/implementation product- process- and general innovations, organizing/planning communication networking with;stakeholders/leads/sales, calculations selection/sizing/ feasibility/cost, inquiry/contracting/trade, quotation negotiation engineering services, presentation/marketing project plan, review meetings design drawings and documents, travel/mobility, meeting project requirements like specifications, budget and milestones, multi-disciplined projects, process, mechanical, structural, civil, marine, electrical, instrumentation, piping, procurement, doc-control/archive, inspection, expediting, manufacturing, construction, transport (power distribution), facility-contract- site- and project management, commissioning, start-up, legal, certification, controlling, budget, financial, reports, safety/HQSE, HRM, site- operation- maintenance- waste-management and -last but not least- with common sence of humor maintaining overall quality and efficiency.

Are You as motivated as I am ?

Kind regards,
Kees Offerman.

# Bloomberg new energy (wk-28) "SPOTLIGHT ON THE WHERE, WHICH AND "HOW DOES IT COMPARE" OF RENEWABLE ENERGY Critics have sometimes tried to write off renewable energy as an expensive plaything for consumers in rich countries. It is a seductive argument – except that it is at odds with the facts. Last week the United Nations Environment Programme published a report showing that in 2010, for the first time, large-scale investment in renewable energy was greater in developing countries than in developed nations."
