Regionaal meetnet ILM2 in Zuidoost-Brabant: jaarrapportage 2021

Overzicht 2021 Het Innovatief Luchtmeetnet 2.0 (ILM2) onderzoekt de luchtkwaliteit in Zuidoost Brabant. Het doel hiervan is om de regionale luchtkwaliteit te bemeten en te analyseren en waar mogelijk handelingsperspectief te bieden om deze luchtkwaliteit te verbeteren. De meetlocaties van het ILM2 zijn bepaald door TNO, RIVM en UU IRAS. Via deze...

How can LCA include prospective elements to assess emerging technologies and system transitions? The 76th LCA Discussion Forum on Life Cycle Assessment, 19 November 2020

This paper summarizes the 76th LCA Discussion Forum end its main fndings. Main issues when addressing emerging technologies identifed were: the lack of primary data, the need for (shared) future background scenarios and (guidlines for) a common methodology. The following recommendations have been derived by the organizers: 1) Specifc foreground...

Can TROPOMI-NO2 satellite data be used to track the drop and resurgence of NOx emissions between 2019 - 2021 using the multi-source plume method (MSPM)? - (Preprint)

NOx is an important primary air pollutant, dominantly produced by anthropogenic, mostly combustion based, activities from sectors such as industry, traffic and transport. NOx is directly linked to negative health and environmental impacts. Currently, the construction of emission inventories to keep track of NOx emissions is based on official...

The impact of temporal variability in prior emissions on the optimization of urban anthropogenic emissions of CO2, CH4 and CO using in-situ observations

Constraining urban emissions is gaining more attention because of the important role of cities in reaching na tional climate mitigation targets. Urban inverse modelling studies could constrain emissions of large hotspots, but still face many challenges. It has been argued that more detailed information is needed on both atmospheric transport and...
