What does your Energy Future look like? ... and can you get the high score?
Can you create a clean energy future for 2030 without losing your lighting, even when the sun is not shining, or the wind is not blowing? Can you slow down global warming by reducing CO2 emissions? And all at the lowest possible price? Can you build a future so brilliant that you will reach the highest score? See what others score in real time and challenge your friends.
This two-part game is based on the real energy data of the Netherlands and was created by Quintel Intelligence in collaboration with most parties (companies, government and education) working on energy and climate in the Netherlands. If you are finished at the first level of both game versions, you can test your acquired knowledge by playing the Energy Quiz. Next, you can enter reality and help build a climate-friendly, reliable and affordable energy future with the professional version of the Energy Transition Model.

The aim of this game is to playfully introduce you to the versatility
of the energy transition and to challenge your energy and
climate preferences and corresponding consequences. By moving the sliders,
you increase or decrease different energy sources, carriers
(sustainable, fossil, collective and nuclear) or interventions that
reduce CO2emissions (such as insulation and use of energy-efficient
equipment and means of transport including fuel-efficient lighting and
electric cars). Each adjustment affects the balance between the supply
and demand for energy. For example, the installation of more electric
heat pumps and the increase in electric transport drives up the demand
for electricity; windmills, solar panels and power plants, will then
increase the supply. The game shows the resulting CO2 emissions and costs
based on your choices or preferences and the reliability of energy supply
in real time. Of course, the game would not be a game without the ability
to score points. With wise choices – that is, choices that (in addition
to the most reliable energy supply) deliver maximum climate gains at the
lowest cost – you get the most points.
Each slider is provided with an explanation. Would you like to know more
about the energy transition? Then go to morgenland's
website and watch
the film, look at the teaching material and much more.
You can test your knowledge of the energy issue immediately after playing
the game by playing the Energy Quiz as an individual or together with

The energy transition begins within your house. With this game you can
build your house of the future. By moving the sliders, you can immediately
see the effect of turning the thermostat op or down, not insulating your
home, or better, opting for an electric heat pump, an HR boiler or hybrid
system, (de)installing solar panels or leave your roof empty, etc. The
score of the game is closely related to the sustainability level you
achieve. More renewable energy means a decrease in CO2 emissions and an
increase in your points. But beware! Sustainable measures cost money.
Investment is high and the return on investment is long. It is a matter
of achieving the optimal level of sustainability within your financial
limits. You can set a maximum amount, for yourself or for all participants
involved. In the game you will immediately see what the possibilities are
within your budget.
