'Nu van het gas af leidt alleen tot meer CO2-uitstoot'.
Als we nu stoppen met aardgas, wordt de CO2-uitstoot alleen maar hoger, zegt TU/e-hoogleraar David Smeulders. Over een eenvoudig rekensommetje dat de regering vergat te maken.

Energy Prof Smeulders: don't reject gas just yet
The rapid pace that we've suddenly adopted for getting off the gas here in the Netherlands is only going to make our CO2 emissions rise in the coming years. This is predicted by TU/e Professor David Smeulders of Energy Technology. He is opposed to the current ‘sustainability religion’ as a result of which, he believes, rational arguments are now falling on deaf ears.

Rethinking energy storage
In this video interview with Physics World, David Smeulders speaks about his search for technology solutions to efficiently store energy and release it again when required. These two related processes are key to improving the economic viability of many renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar.
