Curriculum vitae
Henk Moll (1952) is professor of Natural Resources in Relation to Sustainable Production at the Center for Energy and Environmental Studies (IVEM) of the University of Groningen.
Moll studied Physics in Groningen and gained his PhD in 1993.
He is conducting a great deal of practical environmental research, nationally as well as internationally, in cooperation with other disciplines such as psychology and public administration.
Moll is an expert in the field of developing and applying methods and models to study energy and material use in society and to make it more sustainable.
He believes that natural gas has had its day and that we must quickly switch to heat exchangers.
The energy shortage is not that big a problem, says Moll –
we will have enough oil, gas and coal for the time being.
‘The problem of the environment is much greater.
We should limit energy consumption not because of an impending shortage, but because of hazardous emissions such as CO2, and because of the environmental damage caused by the extraction of resources.
On the social level, there is a long way to go.
But will nature wait for us? That is the question.’
