Extinction Rebellion activists blocked the entrance to a Dutch Petroleum Company (NAM) gas extraction site in Noordbeemster. They demanded that the Dutch government permanently close the gas field and other gas fields in the Netherlands and refrain from opening new ones. The activists attached banners to the fence and held a peaceful demonstration, with dancing and singing, in cold weather near the A7.

Police monitored the protest but did not intervene. Deputy Mayor Sanda van Dam said there was no reason to end the demonstration because public order and safety were not affected. The activists cited concerns about earthquakes, including one they said occurred in the area in 2018, as well as climate change. NAM said it respected the right to demonstrate and emphasized that its industrial sites were subject to strict safety rules; the demonstrators did not enter the site.
