(author)Aim: Land use is a main driver of biodiversity loss worldwide. However, quantifying its effects on global plant diversity remains a challenge due to the limited availability of data on the distributions of vascular plant species and their responses to land use. Here, we estimated the global extinction threat of land use to vascular plant species...article 2023

Kin, B.D.W. (author), Rai, H.B. (author), Dablanc, L. (author), Quak, H.J. (author)Cities all over the world are rethinking their mobility policies in light of environmental and quality of life objectives. As space is one of cities’ scarcest resources, mobility’s spatial footprint is increasingly scrutinized as externality to mitigate. Similar to passenger transport, goods transport is envisioned to shift towards efficient and...article 2023

Duden, A.S. (author), Verweij, P.A. (author), Faaij, A.P.C. (author), Abt, R.C. (author), Junginger, M. (author), van der Hilst, F. (author)Whether the use of industrial wood pellets for bioenergy is part of the problem of climate change or part of the solution to climate change has been heavily debated in the academic and political arena. The uncertainty around this topic is impeded by contradicting scientific assessments of carbon impacts of wood pellet use. Spatially explicit...article 2023

Rum, I.A. (author), Tukker, A. (author), de Koning, A. (author), Yusuf, A.A. (author)Under the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) II, the EU will phase out the use of palm oil for biodiesel feedstock. Environmental concerns are the main reasons for the EU to implement this initiative. This study analyzes the economic and environmental impact of EU import ban to Indonesia at provincial level, using 2 scenarios (a direct and direct...article 2022

Sahoo, S. (author), Zuidema, C. (author), van Stralen, J. (author), Sijm, J.P.M. (author), Faaij, A. (author)Spatially sensitive regional renewables’ potentials are greatly influenced by existing land-use claims and related spatial and environmental policies. Similarly, heat particularly related to low-temperature demand applications in the built environment (BE) is highly spatially explicit. This study developed an analytical approach for a detailed...article 2022

Sun, Z. (author), Behrens, P. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Bruckner, M. (author), Scherer, L. (author)Key biodiversity areas (KBAs) are critical regions for preserving global biodiversity. KBAs are identified by their importance to biodiversity rather than their legal status. As such, KBAs are often under pressure from human activities. KBAs can encompass many different land-use types (e.g., cropland, pastures) and land-use intensities. Here, we...article 2022

Lap, T. (author), Daioglou, V. (author), Benders, R. (author), van der Hilst, F. (author), Faaij, A. (author)Land-use change (LUC)-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions determine largely whether bioenergy is a suitable option for climate change mitigation. This study assesses how LUC emissions influence demand for bioenergy to mitigate GHG emissions, and how this affects the energy mix, using Brazil as a case study. A methodological framework is...article 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

Kooi, F.L. (author), Toet, A. (author), Hoogervorst, M.A. (author), Bijl, P. (author)While AR has successfully been deployed in the military air domain for decades, its use in the ground domain poses serious challenges. Some of these challenges result from technological limitations. However, others are more difficult or even impossible to resolve since they reflect fundamental human characteristics. The toughest-to-solve...conference paper 2021

(author)Energy crop expansion can increase land demand and generate displacement of food crops, which impacts greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mainly through land-use change (LUC). Increased agricultural productivity could compensate for this. Our study aims to evaluate the regional combined GHG emissions of increasing agricultural yields for food crop...article 2021
