Dutch Utilities Submit Proposal to Reduce Carbon-Dioxide Emissions by 2020

(Bloomberg) -- Dutch utilities propose to reduce
carbon-dioxide emissions by 33 million tons a year by 2020,
achieving about a third of the reduction targeted by the
government for the entire nation in that period.

EnergieNed, the federation of Dutch energy companies, said
in a plan submitted to the government today that a fifth of all
electricity produced in the Netherlands should be produced from
renewable resources, especially wind and biomass, by 2020. All
coal-fired plants built after 2010 will be able to capture and
store the carbon dioxide they emit, under the group's proposals.
