De luchtkwaliteit in Nederland is de afgelopen decennia sterk verbeterd. Dit is het gevolg van reducties van emissies in Nederland en het buitenland door in Europees verband afgesproken beleid. In dit…
From global to national scenarios: Bridging different models to explore power generation decarbonisation based on insights from socio-technical transition case studies
In this paper, we apply two global Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) and one detailed European electricity system model to explore the consequences of different narrative-based low-carbon scenarios…
Capacity vs energy subsidies for promoting renewable investment: Benefits and costs for the EU power market
Policy makers across Europe have implemented renewable support policies with several policy objectives in mind. Among these are achieving ambitious renewable energy targets at the lowest cost…
Door de intensivering van de melkveehouderij en de toenemende verstedelijking staat de landschappelijke en ecologische waarde van de veenweidegebieden onder druk. Al decennialang wordt discussie…
Het terugschroeven van ons aardgasgebruik is noodzakelijk om de Parijse klimaatdoelen te halen. Maar zonder de back-up van een gasnet raakt ons elektriciteitsnet overbelast. Voor een klimaatneutraal…
Allocating planetary boundaries to large economies: Distributional consequences of alternative perspectives on distributive fairness
The planetary boundaries (PBs) framework proposes global quantitative precautionary limits for human perturbation of nine critical Earth system processes. Together they define a global safe operating…
Strong time dependence of ocean acidification mitigation by atmospheric carbon dioxide removal
In Paris in 2015, the global community agreed to limit global warming to well below 2 ∘ C, aiming at even 1.5 ∘ C. It is still uncertain whether these targets are sufficient to preserve marine…
Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere – the “global carbon budget” – is important to…
Integrated scenarios to support analysis of the food–energy–water nexus
The literature emphasizes the important relationships between the consumption and production of food, energy and water, and environmental challenges such as climate change and loss of biodiversity…
Scenario analysis for promoting clean cooking in Sub-Saharan Africa: Costs and benefits
Nearly 900 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa rely on traditional biomass (wood, charcoal, dung, or agricultural residues) for cooking. This has major health consequences, as inefficient and…
