Netherlands Climate and Energy Outlook 2020 - Summary
This is the summary of the Climate and Energy Outlook 2020 (Klimaat- en Energieverkenning). The Climate and Energy Outlook describes greenhouse gas emission development in the Netherlands, in…
Variability in historical emissions trends suggests a need for a wide range of global scenarios and regional analyses
Long-term developments in carbon dioxide emissions have tracked the middle of projected emission scenario ranges over the past three decades. If this tendency continues, it seems increasingly less…
Decarbonising the critical sectors of aviation, shipping, road freight and industry to limit warming to 1.5–2°C
Limiting warming to well below 2°C requires rapid and complete decarbonisation of energy systems. We compare economy-wide modelling of 1.5°C and 2°C scenarios with sector-focused analyses of four…
Decarbonisation options for Large Volume Organic Chemical Production, Shell Pernis
This report on decarbonisation options for the chemical industry is part of the MIDDEN project (Manufacturing Industry Decarbonisation Data Exchange Network) initiated by PBL and TNO. The project aims…
Projected material requirements for the global electricity infrastructure – generation, transmission and storage
We analyse how the global material stocks and flows related to the electricity sector may develop towards 2050. We focus on three electricity sub-systems, being generation, transmission and storage…
Implications of climate change mitigation strategies on international bioenergy trade
Most climate change mitigation scenarios rely on increased use of bioenergy to decarbonize the energy system. Here we use results from the 33rd Energy Modeling Forum study (EMF-33) to investigate…
Decarbonisation options for the Dutch chlor-alkali industry
This report on decarbonisation options for the Dutch chlor-alkali industry is part of the MIDDEN project (Manufacturing Industry Decarbonisation Data Exchange Network) initiated by PBL and TNO. The…
Overview of recently adopted mitigation policies and climate-relevant policy responses to COVID-19
This report presents an overview of recently adopted climate policies, climate-relevant responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and a state of play of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and Long…
Improving Climate Change Mitigation Analysis: A Framework for Examining Feasibility
Limiting global warming to 2°C or less compared with pre-industrial temperatures will require unprecedented rates of decarbonization globally. The scale and scope of transformational change required…
Impact of methane and black carbon mitigation on forcing and temperature: a multi-model scenario analysis
The relatively short atmospheric lifetimes of methane (CH 4 ) and black carbon (BC) have focused attention on the potential for reducing anthropogenic climate change by reducing Short-Lived Climate…
