Hajarini, M.S. (author), Zuiderwijk-van Eijk, A.M.G. (author), Diran, D.D.D. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)Dutch municipalities have a vital role in creating policy concerning natural gas replacement with sustainable sources in the built environment by 2050, i.e., the so-called heat transition. Over the years, information provision from research and consultants to municipal policymaking in the heat transition has covered mainly the techno-economic...journal article 2022

Melliger, Marc (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)Falling prices for renewables such as wind and solar are prompting policymakers at the national and European levels to consider phasing out support mechanisms. In a new scientific study, we show that discontinuing these instruments could have negative effects on the growth of these renewables. We arrived at this conclusion with the aid of a...report 2021

de Wildt, T.E. (author), Boijmans, Anne R. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)This paper demonstrates an approach to assess, ex ante, the social acceptance of sustainable heating systems in city districts. More sustainable heating systems are required in city districts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, these systems may lack social acceptance as they often require significant adjustments to homes and may...journal article 2021

de Vries, G. (author), Biely, K. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)In the next decade, transition researchers need to embrace perspectives, theories, and methods from the scientific field of psychology. An integrative research approach that covers the individual, group, and system level, executed in interdisciplinary research teams is necessary for more effective analysis and applications of sustainability...journal article 2021

Joshi, A.R. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Doorn, N. (author)Scholars increasingly propose distributive justice as a means to foster effective and fair outcomes in climate adaptation. To advance the discussion on its place in climate policy, it is desirable to be able to quantitatively assess the effects of different principles of distribution on the well-being of unequally vulnerable individuals and...journal article 2021

de Wildt, T.E. (author), van de Poel, I.R. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)We propose a new approach for tracing value change. Value change may lead to a mismatch between current value priorities in society and the values for which technologies were designed in the past, such as energy technologies based on fossil fuels, which were developed when sustainability was not considered a very important value. Better...journal article 2021

van der Koogh, M.L. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Heller, Renée (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)Global climate agreements call for action and an integrated perspective on mobility, energy and overall consumption. Municipalities in dense, urban areas are challenged with facilitating this transition with limited space and energy resources, and with future uncertainties. One important aspect of the transition is the adoption of electric...review 2021

Chappin, E.J.L. (author)Over the years, it has become clearer and clearer: the energy transition is taking shape. Research on the energy transition also evolves. In the TPM Energy Transition Lab, we aim to take an interdisciplinary approach to expand our knowledge on ‘what works’ and ‘what doesn’t’, when it comes to the coming decades in the energy transition. We bring...report 2021

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Bouwmans, I. (author), Deijkers, Emma (author)This paper introduces EMLab-Consumer, an agent-based model developed in the H2020 project Cheetah, on energy efficiency of households. The model builds on the theory of planned behavior, a large European survey and a variety of choice models generated from the same survey. It studies adoption of a number of energy efficient appliances and...conference paper 2021

Hofstede, G.J. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)Complex systems produce recognizable self-organized patterns across time. This conceptual paper consists of a systematic reflection on what kinds of archetypical patterns systems can show, and in what kinds of cases these patterns could occur. Agent-based models are used to exemplify each pattern. We present a classification of the breadth of...conference paper 2021

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)We simulate climate and energy policy for the EU using a flexible and modular agent-based modelling approach, we named Energy Modelling Laboratory (EMLab). The agent-based model focuses on investment in power generation and studies long run effects of various interacting European energy policies, and incorporates differences between countries....abstract 2020

(author)This paper explores capability conflicts in the deployment of decentralised energy systems and identifies the affected population. These systems have positive societal impacts in terms of sustainability and consumer empowerment, but they are not accessible to all and their deployment may increase socio-economic inequalities. The societal...journal article 2020

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Soana, M. (author), Arensman, C. E.C. (author), Swart, F. (author)The tools available to translate climate targets into abatement actions are mainly based on costs and technical feasibility. Options for greenhouse gas abatement span all sectors, all countries, and involve a huge variety of technologies. The reasons for abatement to be realized, or not, are diverse and complex. In particular, the political...journal article 2020
