A4 Energy Landscape in The Hague, the Netherlands

Abstract

A landscape for sustainable energy production along the A4 highway in The Hague, the Netherlands is proposed. It consists of a new urban biomass forest, lines of wind turbines, an algae farm and biomass plant, a network of pipes to reuse waste heat and that provides an excellent bicycle structure to cross the highway. It provides fertile ground for future business development along this main infrastructure and is a no-regret investment because of immediate revenue possibilities.
