Martínez-Gordón, R. (author), Sánchez-Diéguez, M. (author), Fattahi, A. (author), Morales-España, G. (author), Sijm, J. (author), Faaij, A. (author)The North Sea region, located in the Northwest of Europe, is expected to be a frontrunner in the European energy transition. This paper aims to analyse different optimal system configurations in order to meet net-zero emission targets in 2050. Overall, the paper presents two main contributions: first, we develop and introduce the IESA-NS model....article 2022

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

Martinez-Gordon, R. (author), Gusatu, L. (author), Morales-Espana, G. (author), Sijm, J. (author), Faaij, A. (author)The North Sea Offshore Grid concept has been envisioned as a promising alternative to: 1) ease the integration of offshore wind and onshore energy systems, and 2) increase the cross-border capacity between the North Sea region countries at low cost. In this paper we explore the techno-economic benefits of the North Sea Offshore Grid using two...article 2022

Buijs, L.J. (author), Bulder, B.H. (author), Koornneef, J.M. (author), Peters, M.C.A.M. (author), Weeda, M. (author)Europe has large ambitions to develop both offshore wind and green hydrogen production as a part of the realization of the climate targets. In Europes North Seas region, the North Seas Energy Cooperation ((NSEC) supports and facilitates the development of the large renewable energy potential in the region. The nine NSEC countries have agreed to...other 2022

Martínez Gordón, R. (author), Morales España, G.A. (author), Sijm, J.P.M. (author), Faaij, A.P.C. (author)The importance of spatial resolution for energy modelling has increased in the last years. Incorporating more spatial resolution in energy models presents wide benefits, but it is not straightforward, as it might compromise their computational performance. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of spatial resolution in energy models,...article 2021

Deckers, J. (author), Munsterman, D.K. (author)Correlations between bio- and/or lithostratigraphically analysed boreholes provide new insights on the late-early to early-late Miocene depositional evolution of the central Roer Valley Rift System (RVRS) as part of the southern North Sea Basin. This evolution started with a major regression that occurred in two steps, one during the late...article 2020

(author)The stratigraphic position of the lower Miocene Kiel Sand Member of the Berchem Formation in the Antwerp area (northern Belgium) is not well constrained and its depositional environments are poorly known. Due to a spatial limited decalcification front, the Kiel Sand Member is completely decalcified in southern Antwerp and gradually becomes...article 2020

Deckers, J. (author), Munsterman, D.K. (author)Based on the re-interpretation of well (log) data this study shows that the Våle Formation was deposited over large areas (> 100 km) in the southern central North Sea Basin (offshore Netherlands). Up to now, the Våle Formation (and the lateral equivalent Maureen Formation) were only described in the nearby offshore Denmark, Norway and UK. In the...article 2019

Duncan, J.B. (author), van der Werff, P.A. (author), Bot, E.T.G. (author)In order to better understand North Sea wind conditions, analyses were performed on wind speed and direction measurements by light-detection and ranging (lidar) at eight offshore measurement locations distributed throughout the North Sea. Lidar enabled measurement of the North Sea wind conditions at relatively high altitudes (i.e. ≤ 315 m) and...report 2019

Magneron, C. (author), Doornenbal, H. (author), van Bever, I. (author), Botz, M. (author)Regional velocity models are used mainly for time-to-depth conversion. At regional scales, where few horizons are available, the accuracy and consistency of the velocity models relies on the integration of seismic velocities which bring additional information in terms of lateral and vertical heterogeneities. Such heterogeneities can only be...conference paper 2018

Verhaegen, J. (author), Weltje, G.J. (author), Munsterman, D.K. (author)The field of provenance analysis has seen a revival in the last decade as quantitative dataacquisition techniques continue to develop. In the 20th century, many heavy-mineral data were collected. These data were mostly used as qualitative indications for stratigraphy and provenance, and not incorporated in a quantitative provenance methodology....article 2018

(author)Between 2.58 Ma and 2.4 Ma, most of the present onshore sector of the Netherlands was an epicontinental sea. Previous studies suggest the occurrence of multiple cold and warm phases in shallow marine successions of the Maassluis Formation in conjunction with the first prominent Northern Hemisphere ice sheet expansions. Nevertheless, correlation...article 2015
