Environmental impacts of extraction and processing of raw materials for the energy transition
Both the European Critical Raw Materials Act and the Dutch Raw Materials Strategy promote mitigation of negative environmental impacts associated with the production of strategic and critical raw…
Disutility of climate change damages may warrant much stricter climate targets
Cost-benefit integrated assessment models (IAMs) inform the policy deliberation process by determining cost-optimal greenhouse gas emission reduction pathways based on economic considerations. These…
Het ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat (EZK) heeft aan het Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving (PBL) gevraagd advies uit brengen over de te verwachten elektriciteitsproductiekosten voor…
Decarbonisation Paths for the Dutch Aviation Sector

Reassessing the need for carbon dioxide removal: moral implications of alternative climate target pathways
The 1.5 °C goal has given impetus to carbon dioxide removal (CDR) measures, such as bioenergy combined with carbon capture and storage, or afforestation. However, land-based CDR options compete with…
