Bioenergy in energy transformation and climate management
This study explores the importance of bioenergy to potential future energy transformation and climate change management. Using a large inter-model comparison of 15 models, we comprehensively…
CO2 emission mitigation and fossil fuel markets: Dynamic and international aspects of climate policies
This paper explores a multi-model scenario ensemble to assess the impacts of idealized and non-idealized climate change stabilization policies on fossil fuel markets. Under idealized conditions…
Assessment of climate and energy policies of major emitting countries
Since the 2009 climate negotiations in Copenhagen, many countries and regions have submitted quantitative economy-wide greenhouse gas emission reduction proposals and actions for 2020. The pledged…
Analyse van klimaat- en energiebeleid van landen met de grootste uitstoot
Sinds de internationale klimaatonderhandelingen in Kopenhagen (2009) hebben veel landen kwantitatieve doelen, voorstellen en actieplannen ingediend voor het terugdringen van uitstoot van…
The impact of near-term climate policy choices on technology and emission transition pathways
This paper explores the implications of delays (to 2030) in implementing optimal policies for long-term transition pathways to limit climate forcing to 450 ppm CO 2 equivalent on the basis of the…
Implications of alternative assumptions regarding future air pollution control in scenarios similar to the Representative Concentration Pathways
The uncertain, future development of emissions of short-lived trace gases and aerosols forms a key factor for future air quality and climate forcing. The Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs)…
Deltaprogramma: dit zijn de toekomstscenario’s voor 2050 en 2100
Voorafgaand aan het vierde Nationaal Deltacongres op 7 november 2013 publiceren het PBL, CPB (Centraal Planbureau), KNMI en Wageningen UR/LEI onder leiding van Deltares de ‘Deltascenario’s voor 2050…
Energy demand and emissions of the non-energy sector
The demand for fossil fuels for non-energy purposes such as production of bulk chemicals is poorly understood. In this study we analyse data on non-energy demand and disaggregate it across key…
Non-Kyoto radiative forcing in long-run greenhouse gas emissions and climate change scenarios
Climate policies must consider radiative forcing from Kyoto greenhouse gases, as well as other forcing constituents, such as aerosols and tropospheric ozone that result from air pollutants. Non-Kyoto…
Ontwikkelingsvarianten voor de Zuidwestelijke Delta (notitie)
Het PBL (Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving) brengt in de studie ‘Samenhang in de Zuidwestelijke Delta’ de samenhang tussen verschillende beleidskeuzes voor de Zuidwestelijke Delta in beeld. Het PBL…
