The contribution of biomass in the future global energy supply: a review of 17 studies
This paper discusses the contribution of biomass in the future global energy supply. The discussion is based on a review of 17 earlier studies on the subject. These studies have arrived at widely…
Planning for future energy resources (Letter to the editor)
Existing technologies can contribute to global warming mitigation. However, projected levels of emission-free power needed later this century to stabilize climate change appear to be so unprecedented…
Environmental Balance 2003- Accounting for the Dutch environment
Environmental Balance 2003 describes trends in the environment in the Netherlands and the effectiveness of the policies pursued. It also evaluates the degree to which the goals of environmental…
The impact of land-cover modification on the june meteorology of China since 1700, simulated using a regional climate model
A series of simulations was conducted using a regional climate model with a domain covering mainland China. Simulations were conducted for a single June using estimated land cover for 1700, 1750, 1800…
Derivation of cation exchange constants for sand, loess, clay and peat soils on the basis of field measurements in the Netherlands
This report presents extensive Tables of cation exchange constants (selectivity coefficients) for sand, loess, clay and peat soils at different depths derived from simultaneous field measure-ments of…
This publication presents and compares the quantitative emissions per passenger kilometre or tonne kilometre of CO 2, NO x and PM 10 for several well-defined, homogeneous transport market segments and…
A structure of models for future projection of environmental pressure due to consumption
A model structure for constructing consumption scenarios and determining the related energy requirement of the inhabitants of the Netherlands has recently been developed at the RIVM. Consumption is…
The validity of the multi-media model SimpleBox version 2.0 with respect to its specific use in the procedure of testing the coherence of independently derived environmental quality objectives is…
Determination of denitrification parameters in deep groundwater. A pilot study for several pumping stations in the Netherlands
Groundwater nitrate measurements in the central and eastern part of the Netherlands point out that at many locations denitrification occurs. Therefore, models applied for analysis of management…
