abstract: The goal of the Dutch government is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to almost zero by 2050. Therefore all households in the Netherlands need to quit consuming natural gas. Another reason for terminating the consumption of natural gas is that the extraction of natural gas in Groningen has to end, as it causes earthquakes. Therefore, and because Groningen already aims to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions already by 2035, Groningen was the perfect case for this research. 
This research is an exploratory case study into the public acceptability and pro-environmental energy behaviour of Groningen homeowners, and more specifically, the effect of contextual factors. How can the municipality increase public acceptability and instigate pro-environmental behaviour of homeowners in order to successfully get the present owner-occupied housing stock in Groningen off natural gas before 2035? A literature review, survey and policy document analysis have been performed to collect data to answer this question
