Food security in sub-Saharan Africa: An explorative study
The agricultural production potential of sub-Saharan Africa would be sufficient to make the region food secure. Concerted and region-specific policies are needed to conserve and enhance the natural…
European-scale modelling of groundwater denitrification and associated N2O production
This paper presents a spatially explicit model for simulating the transport of nitrogen (N) and the denitrification and associated production of nitrous oxide (N 2O) in groundwater, with a one…
Assessment of the environmental impacts and health benefits of a nitrogen emission control area in the North Sea
Two studies have analysed the costs and benefits of creating a nitrogen emission control area in the North Sea and the English Channel. Such a control area requires new ships to emit 75 percent less…
A synthesis of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel combustion
This synthesis discusses the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2) from fossil-fuel combustion and cement production. While much is known about these emissions, there is still much that is unknown about…
This report analyses how combinations of technological measures and changes in consumption patterns could contribute to achieving a set of sustainability objectives, taking into account the…
Analysing the emission gap between pledged emission reductions under the Cancún Agreements and the 2 °C climate target
Since the climate negotiations in Copenhagen (2009), many countries have pledged to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. These pledges were 'anchored' in the 2010 Cancún Agreements. Since…
Greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands 1990-2010: National Inventory Report 2012
In 2010, total greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands increased by approximately 6%, compared to the 2009 emission level. This increase mainly resulted from increased fuel combustion related to…
This study compares emission pathways aimed at limiting temperature increase to 2 degree Celsius (°C) under varying constraints. In a first set of pathways, the timing of emission reductions is such…
Preferences for alternative fuel vehicles of lease car drivers in The Netherlands
In this paper we aim to get insight into preferences of Dutch lease car drivers for alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and their characteristics. We perform a state-of-the-art conjoint analysis, based…
A choice experiment on afv preferences of private car owners in The Netherlands
In this paper we aim to get insight into preferences of Dutch private car owners for alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and their characteristics. We perform a state-of-the-art conjoint analysis, based…
