Gas consumption halved in 30 years
The annual consumption of natural gas by Dutch households has almost halved over the past 30 years to under 1,400 cubic metres, the national statistics office CBS said on Wednesday.
The reduction is due to better heat insulation (some 90% of houses have double glazing, compared with less than 33% in 1978) and smaller families, the CBS said.
