Blom, T. (author), Jenkins, A.J. (author), Pulselli, Riccardo (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)Over the past decades, various farming methods have evolved in response to the global challenges of increasing food demands, decreasing availability of arable land, and climate change. One of these new farming methods is vertical farming. To understand the contribution of vertical farms to future sustainable food production, beyond its efficient...journal article 2022

Bae, D. (author), Faasse, Richard (author), Smith, W.A. (author)Achieving high current densities without thermal performance degradation at high temperatures is one of the main challenges for enhancing the competitiveness of photo-electrochemical energy storage systems. We describe a system that overcomes this challenge by incorporating an integrated photoelectrode with a redox flow cell, which functions...journal article 2020

Olindo, Roberta (author), Schmitt, Nathalie (author), Vogtländer, J.G. (author)LCAs of electric cars and electrolytic hydrogen production are governed by the consumption of electricity. Therefore, LCA benchmarking is prone to choices on electricity data. There are four issues: (1) leading Life Cycle Impact (LCI) databases suffer from inconvenient uncertainties and inaccuracies, (2) electricity mix in countries is...journal article 2021

Sattich, T (author), Ydersbond, IM (author), Scholten, D.J. (author)Europe’s power system is still marked by a distinct national component, and despite some regions with strongly integrated power systems, electricity supply today still has a largely national basis. Policies to decarbonise the power sector may fundamentally alter this situation, because power generation from renewable, carbon-neutral sources may...journal article 2015

Acosta, Cristina (author), Ortega, Mariana (author), Bunsen, Till (author), Koirala, B.P. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Integrated Community Energy Systems (ICES) are an emerging local energy system focusing on the collective use of distributed energy resources (DER). These socio-technical systems (STSs) have a high potential to advance the transition towards socially inclusive, environmentally-friendly energy systems and to stimulate the local economy. While...journal article 2018

Riemersma, B. (author), Kunneke, R.W. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Correljé, A. (author)This paper argues that energy systems are becoming increasingly complex, and illustrates how new types of hazards emerge from an ongoing transition towards renewable energy sources. It shows that the energy sector relies heavily on risk assessment methods that are analytic, and that systemic methods provide important additional insights.Acase...journal article 2020

Sattich, Thomas (author), Freeman, Duncan (author), Scholten, D.J. (author), Yan, Shaohua (author)The geopolitical implications of renewable energy involve changes beyond the immediate impact on energy and commodity streams. Energy policies of individual countries affect each other via different economic and political channels. This paper studies the role of renewable energy in EU-China relations, two leading powers in the field of...journal article 2021

Langer, J.K.A. (author), Cahyaningwidi, Aida Astuti (author), Chalkiadakis, Charis (author), Quist, J.N. (author), Hoes, O.A.C. (author), Blok, K. (author)Indonesia strives for a renewable energy share of 23% by 2025. One option to contribute to this goal is Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). Despite a global theoretical potential of up to 30 TW, its economically deployable share remains unknown. This paper proposes a novel methodology, which enables to determine OTEC's economic potential...journal article 2021

Itten, A.V. (author), Sherry-Brennan, Fionnguala (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Meenakshi Sundaram, A. (author), Devine-Wright, Patrick (author)Providing heat is a key aspect of social life and a necessity for comfort and health in cold climates. Even though heat accounts for a large proportion of worldwide carbon emissions and is the largest energy end-use, it has remained largely untouched by efforts to decarbonize. Efforts to do so meet significant economic, social-psychological,...journal article 2021

Golestani, Nima (author), Arzaghi, E. (author), Abbassi, Rouzbeh (author), Garaniya, Vikram (author), Abdussamie, Nagi (author), Yang, M. (author)Global concerns around climate change and the volatility of conventional fuel prices have prompted researchers and technologists to make significant efforts to identify and exploit alternative energy sources that are cleaner and more sustainable. Wind energy has seen considerable development among these alternative energy sources, mainly due...journal article 2021

Melliger, Marc (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author)Support schemes have been central to the expansion of renewable electricity globally and in the European Union. As technologies mature, individual member states may decide to phase out these policies. While previous research has shown that such policy changes affect investors’ decisions, we investigate how they affect pathways and electricity...journal article 2022

Pouran, Hamid (author), Padilha Campos Lopes, Mariana (author), Ziar, H. (author), Alves Castelo Branco, David (author), Sheng, Yong (author)Vietnam's promising economic growth has led to energy shortage, growing coal imports, and increasing carbon emissions. The country's electricity demand annual growth rate has been 12% in recent years and is projected to be 8–9% by 2030. In Vietnam 40% of the land is dedicated to agriculture and thousands of inland water bodies are used for...journal article 2022

Popa, O.E. (author), Blok, Vincent (author), Katsoukis, Georgios (author), Schubert, Cornelius (author)We propose and illustrate a model for evaluating the moral impact of technologies from a pluralist perspective. We conceptualize technological artefacts as having moral profiles that consist of the values served and disserved along five levels of decision-making: (1) problem, (2) strategy, (3) resources, (4) product and (5) design. The notion of...journal article 2023
