full_text_status: public
abstract: Due to increasing concerns about fossil fuels and because of the closing down of the Groningen gas field, our energy system requires a transition away from natural gas use. By 2050, the natural gas demand used for cooking, space heating or water heating will have to be substituted by alternatives. Substitutes like renewable gasses, heat networks, electrical heating will play a big role in fulfilling future heat demands. In this transition towards sustainable heat system all kinds of challenges arise. Balancing the electricity grid due to increased electrical heating, increasing renewable gas production, implementing heat storage and motivating home owners to take energy saving measures are amongst the challenges of the heat transition. The province of Groningen will be taken as a case study in order to determine the challenges and opportunities that arise, but also the approach, when changing this heat system based on natural gas towards sustainable heat.
