About the GAVE programme GAVE is a Dutch abbreviation for Climate Neutral Gaseous and Liquid Energy Carriers. This is a Dutch government programme that is implemented by SenterNovem on behalf of three Ministries (Spatial Planning, Housing and the Environment; Economic Affairs; and Transport, Public Works and Water Management).
GAVE actively supports the government and relevant market parties in their efforts to achieve national and EU biofuel targets in a sustainable manner. The EU Biofuel Guideline aims to encourage the introduction of biofuels in the transport sector and includes EU-wide indicative targets for biofuels: 2% in 2005, rising to 5.75% in 2010. These targets will stay in effect until the proposed new EU Renewable Energy Directive is accepted. The routes currently being taken need to be able to develop further into fuel routes that allow a huge CO2 reduction to be achieved. The parties involved are kept fully informed of the latest developments and meet regularly to exchange knowledge through the knowledge platform, the network days and other activities that are frequently organised.
If you would like to be kept informed of the programme’s activities and progress (including results), why not register for our free electronic GAVE newsletter. Just complete the subscription form. Feel free to contact us with any technical questions concerning your initiatives and plans, or for further information on how to participate in network meetings.
