(author), van der Zwaan, B.C.C. (author)This paper presents two different scenarios for the energy system of the Netherlands that achieve the Dutch government’s national target of near net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2050. Using the system optimisation model OPERA, the authors have analysed the technology, sector and cost implications of the assumptions nderlying these scenarios....article 2022

Dieguez, M.S. (author), Fattahi, A. (author), Sijm, J.P.M. (author), Morales España, G.A. (author), Faaij, A. (author)In this paper, we present an optimisation integrated energy system model (IESA-Opt) for the Netherlands with the use of a linear programming formulation. This state-of-the-art model represents a scientific contribution as it integrates a European power-system model with a complete sectoral representation of the energy system technologies and...article 2021

Qian, Y. (author), Scherer, L. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Behrens, P. (author)Coal is the dominant emitter of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) in some countries, comprising 92% of total emissions in China. Mitigation of these emissions can be driven by a number of factors, such as energy-efficiency improvements, installation of scrubbers, and use of renewable energy. This study evaluates the historical reduction of overall SO2...article 2020

van der Zwaan, B.C.C. (author), Halstead, M. (author), Kober, M. (author)Energy, water, and food systems have so far mostly been studied independently. In this chapter, we argue that it is important to take an “energy-water-food nexus approach” to analyzing these three resource systems. After briefly introducing the emerging literature on the energy-water-food nexus, we inspect the interrelationship between energy...conference paper 2019

Hendriks, C. (author), Forsell, N. (author), Kiesewetter, G. (author), Schaap, M. (author), Schöpp, W. (author)Ground level ozone poses a significant threat to human health from air pollution in the European Union. While anthropogenic emissions of precursor substances (NOx, NMVOC, CH4) are regulated by EU air quality legislation and will decrease further in the future, the emissions of biogenic NMVOC (mainly isoprene) may increase significantly in the...article 2016
