Introduction
The grant scheme Stimulation of Sustainable Energy Transition (SDE++) is a broadening of the earlier Stimulation of Sustainable Energy Production (SDE+). It is intended for companies and (non-)profit institutions in various sectors that produce renewable energy or apply CO2-reducing techniques, or aim to do so infuture. The central government is excluded from participation.
The difference compared with the former scheme is the scheme’s broadening scope: CO2 reduction is also stimulated.
| Main Category | Subcategory | Savings Calculation |
|---|---|---|
| Renewable electricity | * Osmosis * Hydropower * Wind * Sun | The difference between the average cost of renewable electricity and the relevant average market price of electricity. |
| Renewable heat (CHP) | * Biomass (fermentation and incineration) * Spent mushroom compost * Geothermal energy (shallow) * Solar thermal energy | The difference between the average cost of this renewable heat and the relevant average market price of heat. |
| Renewable gas | * Biomass (fermentation and gasification) | The difference between the average cost of this renewable gas and the relevant average market price of gas. |
| CO2-reducing heat | * Aquathermal (TEO and TEA) * Daylight greenhouse * E-boiler * Geothermal energy (shallow) * Waste heat * Heat pump | The difference between the average cost of this greenhouse gas reduction and the average cost of greenhouse gas emissions. |
| CO2-reducing production | * CO2-capture and -storage * Hydrogen produced via electrolysis | The difference between the average cost of this greenhouse gas reduction and the average cost of greenhouse gas emissions. |
