The fresh Flemish agriculture and mood ministers want toreformsupport for cogeneration in horticulture . CHPs should start lead more in function of the market demand for electricity ( at prison term of peak requirement ) and less at meter when a sufficiently gravid supply of ( fossil - devoid ) electricity is already available . It should help oneself reduce emission from the entire Flemish agriculture and horticulture sector .
VRTpoints to the increase in emissions from Flemish agriculture and horticulture , which have been rising for years , and the toll of the electricity bill that every Fleming has to make up . Compared to Dutch growers , Flemish growers consume more gas , for the same love apple . " Every year , Flemish greenhouse growers earn tens of millions of euros from the electricity they return with their natural gas heating systems . That electrical energy was once seen as a clime result . " But with clime targets loom , and in risk of not being met , Flanders is reconsider keep of CHPs .
wrap down CHP supportUntil last yr , greenhouse growers could apply for reenforcement for a newfangled CHP installation . This support is lessen twelvemonth after year , until 2035 at the a la mode . Phasing out the help faster provokes protests from growers , who have made expensive investments in gas engines . Moreover , they produce electrical energy in the public interest , for the magnate grid , so emissions are not purely agricultural .
The courts would give up profligate form - out . In any case , the new Flemish government is now consider a living modification , according to insurance papers that made the word this week .
Instead of nuclear reactorsAt VILT , Hanne Leirs , energy consultant at Boerenbond , bid the plans " not very innovative " . However , she is singular to see exactly what the plan will front like . Herman Mariën , of the CHP cooperative WOM , is also curious to see how the plans will wreak out , he says in the same article . CHPs , he say , could be a " more sustainable choice " to some of the sometime spurt engines that help keep the Flemish control grid going . The engine should help deal with nuclear nuclear reactor blockage .
Dutch situationSimilardiscussionshave already taken place in the Netherlands . For model , last yr , around the introduction of new energy taxes . CHP plant should ( for the fourth dimension being ) still be able to scat well as long as there are not enough alternatives , was the thinking of a bulk of parties in Dutch politics . At the prison term , though , minister Jetten point himself to be critical : He feel it was crucial that the use of CHP plant life in glasshouse horticulture did not give the " wrong incentive " , as he allege happened in the energy crisis . " CHP industrial plant were not turned on to primarily serve the greenhouse horticulture business , but in the main to be able-bodied to betray electricity at peak price . "
