Exploration of pathways towards climate neutrality 2050
In order to become climate-neutral by 2050, substantial changes are needed in both electricity and heating and in the production and use of fuels and raw materials. In more concrete terms, this means…
The global energy landscape is going through a profound transition towards sustainability to combat climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuel. Hydrogen, particularly green hydrogen produced…
This document describes the development strategy for the GLOBIO modelling framework for 2024–2027. It provides general direction for further improving the framework, based on the current state of the…
What are just and feasible climate targets for the Netherlands?
The Netherlands has already set emission reduction targets for 2030 and 2050 with the aim to contribute to achieving the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Agreement. In February, the European Commission…
Environmental impacts of extraction and processing of raw materials for the energy transition
Both the European Critical Raw Materials Act and the Dutch Raw Materials Strategy promote mitigation of negative environmental impacts associated with the production of strategic and critical raw…
Abolishing fossil fuel subsidies: a brain teaser rather than a no-brainer
In the study “Abolishing fossil fuel subsidies: a brain teaser rather than a no-brainer” CPB and PBL conclude that the discussion on fossil fuel subsidies in the Netherlands focuses primarily on the…
Sanitation and wastewater treatment scenarios and effects on global water quality and SDG 6
Sanitation and wastewater treatment are key elements for global human health and aquatic biodiversity. Scenarios showed an improvement of sanitation over time, but unimproved sanitation will not…
In the new report “Appetite for Change”, scientists provide a recipe to halve nitrogen pollution from food production in Europe. This pollution is caused by poor use of nitrogen, particularly in…
The Opportunities, Challenges and Potentials for Hydrogen in Africa
Under stringent climate change mitigation scenarios, hydrogen is projected to play a central role in decarbonising the global energy system, complementing electrification and energy efficiency…
This document describes the new research and development strategy for the IMAGE Framework, for the 2022–2027 period, as based on current and emerging research and policy questions. This document…
