Auto’s van de zaak zijn een factor van betekenis als het gaat om vergroening van de Nederlandse personenautomobiliteit. In deze studie is de naar CO 2-uitstoot gedifferentieerde bijtelling geëvalueerd…
Using dynamic relative climate impact curves to quantify the climate impact of bioenergy production systems over time
The climate impact of bioenergy is commonly quantified in terms of CO 2 equivalents, using a fixed 100‐year global warming potential as an equivalency metric. This method has been criticized for the…
Transport electrification: the effect of recent battery cost reduction on future emission scenarios
Although the rapid fall in the costs of batteries has made electric vehicles (EVs) more affordable and boosted their sales, EVs still account for only a fraction of total car sales. In the last years…
Global and Regional Greenhouse Gas Emissions Neutrality
This report gives an overview of the literature on greenhouse gas emissions neutrality, as targeted in the Paris Agreement to achieve a ‘balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removal…
Opportunities and challenges in achieving universal electricity in sub-Saharan Africa
Issue 115 of the Oxford Energy Forum focuses on the electrification of Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Due to significant expected population growth, the number of Africans without…
The scenario study ‘The Future of the North Sea’ explores the spatial and ecological impact of possible developments on the North Sea, up to 2050, with regard to nature, energy transition and food…
Land-use emissions play a critical role in land-based mitigation for Paris climate targets
Scenarios that limit global warming to below 2 °C by 2100 assume significant land-use change to support large-scale carbon dioxide (CO 2) removal from the atmosphere by afforestation/reforestation…
In the past decades, the relationship between water issues and conflict risks received much attention, both in the literature and the media. However, reports and publications warning about these…
Risk of increased food insecurity under stringent global climate change mitigation policy
Food insecurity can be directly exacerbated by climate change due to crop-production-related impacts of warmer and drier conditions that are expected in important agricultural regions. However…
