(author), Denier van der Gon, H.A.C. (author), Röckmann, T. (author)Natural gas is considered a bridging technology in the energy transition because it produces fewer carbon emissions than coal, for example. However, when leaks exist, methane is released into the atmosphere, leading to a dramatic increase in the carbon footprint of natural gas, as methane is a much stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide....article 2023

Wildenborg, T. (author), Loeve, D. (author), Neele, F. (author)A plan was developed for large-scale transport and storage of CO2, inspired by the measures in The Netherlands Climate Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. The main focus was on reduction of CO2 emissions captured from large industrial sources in the Rotterdam harbour area (Rijnmond region). CO2 storage potential is...article 2022

Tang, C. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Sprecher, B. (author), Mogollon, J.M. (author)The European Union (EU) has set a 37.5% GHG reduction target in 2030 for the mobility sector, relative to 1990 levels. This requires increasing the share of zero-emission passenger vehicles, mainly in the form of electric vehicles (EVs). This study calculates future GHG emissions related to passenger vehicle manufacturing and use based on stated...article 2022

Rueda, O. (author), Mogollon, J.M. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Scherer, L. (author)Our carbon-intensive economy has led to an average temperature rise of 1 ◦C since pre-industrial times. As a consequence, the world has seen increasing droughts, significant shrinking of the polar ice caps, and steady sealevel rise. To stall these issues’ worsening further, we must limit global warming to 1.5 ◦C. In addition to the economy’s...article 2021
