Energy crisis

Russian-Ukrainian war causes problems for the energie supply in Europe:

Energy prices skyrocket and higher gasoline prices

shortcomming of a critical resource in europe: Natural gas

Are there any sollutions and what are the consequences

How are there eartquakes in Groningen?

1. Plate tektonics
2. Horst and Graben
3. Drilling for natural gas
4. Vulcanic eruptions

Natural gas in Groningen

1963, a natural gas field in Slochteren. 

after the war this boomed the economy.

coal from the carboniferous area. 

During the coalification proces gas is formed, the source rock is the origin of the gas.

gas is stored in the reservoir rock.

small crude oil fields originating from the jurassic period and the reservoir from 

the cretaceous period

Salt

Salt in the netherlands originated from the permian period 

this salt is used for the production of clorine and a small amount of kitchen salt

sand and river gravel as building material.

clay brought here as a sediment. used for building bricks

Dependancy abroad

 it does not have any of the 27 critical-metals

importing fosil fuels

decreasing waste until it has a cirular economy by 2050
