Albers, R.A.W. (author)Technologische innovatie bepaald het tempo van de verduurzaming van de samenleving. De opgave is om de ontwikkeling van duurzame innovatieve technologie te versnellen en niet-duurzame innovaties op dood spoor te zetten. De kans is namelijk groot dat door maatschappelijke weerstand zo'n investering vervroegd moet worden afgeschrevenarticle 2015

Thunis, P. (author), Pisoni, E. (author), Degraeuwe, B. (author), Kranenburg, R. (author), Schaap, M. (author), Clappier, A. (author)Chemistry-transport models are increasingly used in Europe for estimating air quality or forecasting changes in pollution levels. But with this increased use of modeling arises the need of harmonizing the methodologies to determine the quality of air quality model applications. This is complex for planning applications, i.e. when models are used...article 2015

(author)Currently residential wood combustion (RWC) is increasing in Europe because of rising fossil fuel prices but also due to climate change mitigation policies. However, especially in smail-scale applications, RWC may cause high emissions of particutate mafler (PM). Recently we have developed a new high-resolution (7 x 7km) anthropogenic...article 2015
