    EBN is a wholy publicly owned company, with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate at it's sole shareholder. At EBN we believe that sustainable energy should be accessible (available and affordable) to everyone in the Netherlands. Now and in the future, a new perspective on the traditional gas value chain is essential. We believe that the value of the Dutch subsurface - and knowledge thereof - is essential for the future of sustainable energy supply above ground. And that this is a matter of many instead of one that requires direction from the public interest; combining knowledge, expertise and solid strength is necessary to reinforce and accelerate the energy transition.
