The energy transition, is one of the most important topics nowadays. Renewable energy sources contribution in the energy mix is growing rapidly. However, due to their intermittent power output, they cannot ensure system security and stability, and therefore, energy storage technologies are needed. In this direction, hydrogen is an energy carrier...

Reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 is vital to limit global warming to 1.5◦C. Decarbonizing the heating sector that is globally responsible for half of total energy consumption is necessary to achieve climate-neutrality goals. The complex nature of the heating sector (characterized by variable market demands, and complicated stakeholder...

The situation of power system reforms in Africa displays incomplete reform steps and unfulfilled goals. The performance statistics of the power system are very low and tremendous efforts remain to be exerted to bridge the gap. Reforms in Africa were pursued with the end goal of creating an electricity market on both the national and the regional...

With the current energy transition in full effect smart ways to integrate sustainable systems are a must. Instead of looking at individual solutions per household or building, this thesis explores the possibilities of a neighbourhood energy system and how it can benefit the community. The social impact of large sustainable measures are often...

Selection of industrial sites is a complex issue that requires careful consideration of a wide range of factors. Classical location decision-making overemphasize the role of economic factors while the energy related factors are often neglected. This research supports the energy transition by means of rethinking the location decision-making...

Decarbonization of the energy sector by switching to low-carbon renewables is inevitable for a sustainable future. However, the intermittent and variable nature of low-carbon renewables, like wind and solar, poses several challenges when integrated into the existing energy grids. This is one of the main factors slowing down the transition to a...

Global Earth Systems Integrated Assessment Models are used by policymakers to understand the complex interactions between anthropogenic activity, including energy use, and its environmental impacts. However, they are computationally expensive, so spatiotemporal resolution is kept low as a trade-off. Generally, the smallest geopolitical component...

Bussemakers, Matthijs (author)
Climate change, as a result from global warming, requires an energy transition: the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and a radical innovation of the global energy system to proceed apace. Offshore wind is an important source of clean, renewable energy, and it plays a key role in the transition. 80% of the worldwide...

This project revolves around redesigning the future mobihub for the context of the Netherlands. A mobihub (or mobipunt in Dutch) is a brand of mobility hub. In this report, a mobility hub is defined as “A recognizable, physical place where different context-driven functions and services (mostly shared mobility-related such as shared cars) that...

High temperature aquifer thermal energy storage (HT-ATES) can potentially solve the mismatch between heat supply and demand. It can provide a large scale seasonal heat storage solution. Thereby it enables an increase in full load hours of the base heat source, which can benefit project performance on both costs and emissions. However, the...

Reducing GHG emissions has become a widely publicized topic to halt future effects of global warming. In an effort to accelerate the energy transition a group of policy-maker from McKinsey developed a tool named marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) capable of illustrating the relationship between the cost-effectiveness of different abatement...

The North Sea region’s energy transition has begun. The prospect of how it will happen and what it will look like, however, is still shrouded in uncertainty. What is clear is that this is a mammoth project of unprecedented scale. The sheer quantity of renewables we need to integrate into our energy infrastructures will transform our peri-urban...
