Davydenko, I. (author), Hopman, M. (author), Fransen, R.W. (author), Harmsen, J. (author)There is a strong need to reduce emissions from transport and logistics. Electrificationand use of greener energy carriers and fuels provide a ready way to reduce emissions, but thesetechnologies are generally more expensive than the conventional ones they are replacing. Fortunately,some shippers are willing to pay the extra cost to ship their...article 2022

Rasheed, M.B. (author), R-Moreno, M.D. (author)To meet the carbon-free energy and water demand requirements by Europe, this work has proposed an interconnected and integrated-energy-water-hydrogen (IEWH) system. Typically these systems are generally uncoupled, however, they may be interconnected and can be operated to provide green energy and water with reduced carbon footprints. This work...conference paper 2022

Tosti, L. (author), van Zomeren, A. (author), Pels, J.R. (author), Comans, R.N.J. (author)Purpose: This study evaluates the potential of biomass ash as raw clinker material and the influence of biomass feedstock and thermal conversion technology on biomass ash properties. Methods: A set of criteria for biomass feedstock and ash properties (i.e. CaO/SiO2 ratio and burnability) are established. A large dataset was collected and the...article 2021

Davydenko, I. (author), Hopman, M. (author), Spreen, J.S. (author)Transport and logistics is one of the most important economic sectors contributing to the climate change. By the nature of transport and logistics operations, the sector is one of the most difficult ones to decarbonize. This paper proposes using carbon footprinting tools to optimize logistics operations with respect to emissions, and to setup...conference paper 2020

Scherer, L. (author), de Koning, A. (author), Tukker, A. (author)The BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and MINT countries (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey) shifted the economic weight from developed to emerging countries. They will continue to grow rapidly by population and gross domestic product (GDP), which could also imply environmental changes. We use the environmentally extended multi-regional input...article 2019

Quak, H. (author), Nesterova, N. (author), Kok, R. (author)Authorities aim at making the urban freight system more sustainable. The most common instruments to do so are regulation or stimulation of good practices, by offering subsidies or initiating projects together with the private parties that are responsible for actually performing urban freight transport operations. This contribution examines the...conference paper 2019

(author), Tukker, A. (author)Globalization of supply chains has resulted in rapid increases in emission transfers from the developing to the developed world. As outsourcing has risen, developed countries have been able to decarbonize domestically, at the expense of increased emissions in developing countries. However, the rapid improvement of carbon efficiency in developing...article 2019
