Aardgas blijft nog lang de ruggengraat van onze energievoorziening, stelt Martien Visser. Het mondiale gasverbruik is het afgelopen decennium jaarlijks toegenomen.

Met de energietransitie doorgaan op de bestaande weg lijkt volgens Martien Visser onbegaanbaar en in elk geval riskant. De nieuwe energiewet krijgt van de Raad van State forse kritiek en er komt een nieuw kabinet. Dat schept ruimte die wet nog eens op de hand te nemen. Want terwijl de energietransitie …

Renewable energy systems are a crucial technological development needed to combat climate change. This thesis covers the design and implementation of a mathematical optimization model, which calculates the lowest cost of hydrogen for certain renewable energy system configurations. The output of the model …

Citizen participation in local renewable energy projects is often promoted as many suppose it to be a panacea for the difficulties that are involved in the energy transition process. Quite evidently, it is not; there is a wide variety of visions, ideologies and interests related to an ‘energy transition’. …

n the work package described in this report, members are investigating whether a cooperative of farmers can become self-sufficient in energy and fertilization by using manure and organic waste flows in combination with anaerobic fermentation. The aim is to link the nutrient cycle (from manure to digestate …

Het klimaat op aarde verandert voortdurend. Door de wetenschap is vastgesteld dat de klimaatveranderingen sinds het pre-industriële (rond 1850) tijdperk met overgrote deel door de mens is veroorzaakt. Om de klimaatveranderingen van de aarde te verminderen is onder andere het zogenaamde klimaatakkoord …

With the effects of climate change linked to the use of fossil fuels, as well as the prospect of their eventual depletion, becoming more noticeable, political establishment and society appear ready to switch towards using renewable energy. Solar power and wind power are considered to be the most significant …
