Summit Engineering: Towards Net Zero, Together
Summit Engineering is an independent consulting and engineering firm fully dedicated to accelerating the energy transition. Based in Groningen, we support companies and public institutions in their sustainable energy projects, energy efficiency strategies, and integrated energy systems. Our mission? To reduce CO₂ emissions and contribute to a carbon-neutral world — together with our partners.
The idea for Summit Engineering was born at high altitude — during a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro. Founders Arjan Hartemink and Robbert van der Pluijm, both former technical managers at Gasunie, did not only find inspiration for the company’s name on the mountain, but also a renewed drive to take a different path. The melting glaciers at the summit made the effects of climate change painfully clear. For Arjan and Robbert, one thing became certain: the time to act is now.
