Gasunie Transition Pathway Calculator
It is laid down in the Dutch Climate Act: the Netherlands is on its way to achieving net zero CO₂ emissions by 2050. And the users of Gasunie's networks are making a major contribution to this goal. By consuming less natural gas and more green gas. And by using the new energy networks that Gasunie is building: for the transport of hydrogen, captured CO₂, and heat. You can calculate for yourself how significant Gasunie's role will be in the coming years on the Dutch path to decarbonization (the "Transition Path") using the tool below. As a starting point, we use our own projections from March 2025.
Open the drop-down menus and change the transition path that the Netherlands will take:
- determine the decline in natural gas demand up to and including 2030
- predict how successful our new transport networks for hydrogen, CO2 and heat will be
- estimate how much biomethane will be fed into the network up to and including 2030
See how you contribute to reducing Dutch CO₂ emissions here:
The graph shows the decrease in national CO2 emissions until 2050, and Gasunie's influence in that. If you leave the drop-down menu unchanged, you will see the scenario that Gasunie itself thinks is most realistic.
For Gasunie, 2030 is an important interim milestone. This is the CO₂ reduction we can facilitate in that year thanks to your forecasts:

Our base scenario assumes that all sustainable Gasunie projects will be completed in the delivery year we’ve set and will achieve the transport volumes we’ve estimated. However, with this Transition Path Calculator, you can also explore more optimistic or pessimistic scenarios.
