Decarbonisation options for the Dutch tyre industry
This report on decarbonisation options for the Dutch tyre industry is part of the MIDDEN project (Manufacturing Industry Decarbonisation Data Exchange Network) initiated by PBL and ECN part of TNO…
Environmental co-benefits and adverse side-effects of alternative power sector decarbonization strategies
A rapid and deep decarbonization of power supply worldwide is required to limit global warming to well below 2 °C. Beyond greenhouse gas emissions, the power sector is also responsible for numerous…
Global construction materials database and stock analysis of residential buildings between 1970-2050
Huge material stocks are embedded in the residential built environment. These materials have the potential to be a source of secondary materials, an important consideration for the transition towards…
Global-scale remote sensing of mine areas and analysis of factors explaining their extent
Mining areas have impact on many landscapes worldwide. To quantify these impacts, global and consistent datasets of mining areas are needed. The authors of this study used remote sensing images to…
Projecting terrestrial biodiversity intactness with GLOBIO 4
This study evaluates changes in terrestrial biodiversity intactness, expressed by the mean species abundance (MSA) metric, resulting from three socio-economic development scenarios from 2015 to 2050.
Afforestation for climate change mitigation: Potentials, risks and trade‐offs
Afforestation is considered a cost‐effective and readily available climate change mitigation option. In recent studies afforestation is presented as a major solution to limit climate change. However…
Integrated Solutions for the Water-Energy-Land Nexus: Are Global Models Rising to the Challenge?
Increasing human demands for water, energy, food and materials, are expected to accentuate resource supply challenges over the coming decades. Experience suggests that long-term strategies for a…
Aquaculture production is a large, spatially concentrated source of nutrients in Chinese freshwater and coastal seas
This article presents a spatially explicit inventory of nutrient emissions from aquaculture to waterbodies for 2006 and 2017. Aquaculture production and nutrient excretion are now comparable to that…
Decarbonisation options for the Dutch salt industry
This report on decarbonisation options for the Dutch salt industry is part of the MIDDEN project (Manufacturing Industry Decarbonisation Data Exchange Network) initiated by PBL and ECN part of TNO…
The Paris Agreement introduced an ambitious goal of limiting warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Here we combine a review of modelled pathways and literature on mitigation strategies, and…
