Carrasco Montejano, Jose (author)Mexico is currently transitioning to a low-carbon electricity production that has a specific goal of producing at least 50\% of its electricity from clean energy sources by 2050. Following the liberalization of its electricity sector in late 2013, private actors joined the Mexican government's efforts to increase the share of renewable energy;...master thesis 2020

Emmen, Marloes (author)Sustainability is becoming more important in our society. One of the actions for a sustainable future is starting an energy transition for the reduction of greenhouse gases. For realising this transition, local energy cooperatives are initiated. Within these local energy cooperatives, a collective of citizens is willing to generate and...master thesis 2020

Stolper, Louis (author)The energy transition of Dutch shipping will be a complex gradual process due to the variety, cost and lifetime of vessels. The uncertainty in transition pathway, additional costs of climate neutral alternatives and required regulatory changes also form transition barriers. This thesis aims to create a holistic overview of both the transition...master thesis 2021

Bradley, Jessie (author)Acceleration of the energy transition requires increased mining of materials. An important material for the energy transition is nickel, used in the stainless steel required for all energy infrastructure and an important component for both stationary batteries and batteries used in electric vehicles. Previous research has been done on the global...master thesis 2021

de Vries, jorrit (author)As part of the effort to make the Dutch waterways CO2-neutral, a consortium consisting of, among others, CRUX Engineering BV and Delft University of Technology, initiated a case study in which the thermal and mechanical performance of an energy sheet pile wall is studied. This technology allows for the extraction of energy from the water and...master thesis 2021

Saffirio, Alice (author)The trolleybus traction grids, an effective electrification solution for urban transport, can become more sustainable and efficient through the direct integration of solar photovoltaic systems. Previous research shows different results for this application. The aim of this study is to identify a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and to...master thesis 2021

van Eck, Eva (author)In project Reyeroord Aardgasvij Service designers work together with the municipality and other stakeholders to stimulate the energy transition in the neighbourhood Reyeroord in Rotterdam. Their goal is to develop interventions in the form of neighbourhood meetings, campaigns, and other activities that aim to activate the residents of Reyeroord...master thesis 2021

Desideri Perea, Michela (author)The Dutch energy-intensive industry relies heavily on fossil-fuelled energy sources for production processes, being responsible for one third of CO2 emissions in the Netherlands. The road to CO2 neutrality by 2050 requires a massive transformation of the industrial sector: sustainable supply and (re-)use of industrial heat, CO2 capture and...master thesis 2021

Jansen, Floris (author)It’s beneficial to involve residents in the design of the renovation plans of their own homes. This leads to more energy efficient, healthy and comfortable homes due to the removal of mismatches between the resident and their home. It also results in an easier approval process thanks to the increased ownership and a more fair process. I propose...master thesis 2021

Dhas, Sanchita (author)This thesis aims to develop an energy transition scenario for the cement industry using a simulation model that models energy flows to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The model's decarbonisation pathways are constructed with assumptions about the country's socio-economic conditions, energy efficiency, fuel share, and technology share. The...master thesis 2021

Oshinusi, Fola-Sade Victoria (author)The ways in which we harness biomass for biofuels are inextricably linked to water management, food security, waste management, and societal well-being. Whilst the increased use of biomass for biofuel within the Netherlands is considered a positive move, external factors known as indirect land-use change make current practices more unsustainable...master thesis 2022

Croes, Gary (author)This research identifies opportunities to accelerate the SET towards a 100% RE based on Aruba. This thesis is structured in three parts: 1) a literature review to assess the main relevant theories. 2) A conceptual framework combining the Strategic Niche Management and the Multi-level Perspective is developed to analyse and compare case studies...master thesis 2022

van de Weijer, Paul (author)Geothermal sources could provide society with clean and renewable energy nearly eternally. Geothermal district heating, in particular, could play a significant role in the energy transition. Although the application has been implemented to some extent, further upscaling is challenging due to various economic, technical and institutional...master thesis 2022

Kooter, Mick (author)Implementing green alternatives in the heavy-duty mobility market is required to reach the set climate goals of 2050 and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Refuelling infrastructures based on alternative fuels such as hydrogen are not sufficiently available. This poses a barrier to large scale implementation and investment in new emission free...master thesis 2022

Peet, Eva (author)In 2015, due to decentralisations in the social domain, municipalities became the key public authorities for youth participation in the Netherlands (RAND Europe, 2021). One year later 66% had made youth participation a policy goal, while 18% was planning to. At that time most municipalities involved young people to some extend in their policy...master thesis 2022

Bacani, Jasmine (author), Morscher, Leon (author), Lens, Daniëlle (author), de Meijer, Barbara (author)The transition to renewable energy is necessary and urgent. Fossil fuels are depleting, leading to geopolitical instability and are driving climate change. The climate crisis and growing inequalities are among the greatest problems of the 21st century. Temperatures, sea levels and gas prices are rising. This transition poses spatial and economic...student report 2022

Eggink, Jan (author)With the climate change and energy transition becoming evident and ever so relevant, industrialised regions focussed on fossil fuels need to rethink their socio-economic plan. Furthermore, urban designers are obliged to rethink the energy paradigm. This report combines energy landscape and resilient region theory and applies it on the peri-urban...master thesis 2022

Lips, Jennifer (author)Suitable housing and its availability: it seems to be a problem within almost every phase of the housing career in the Netherlands, as the housing market is stagnating. Our older generation is held responsible for this national problem, but why? Deliberate occupation of the ‘oversized’ family home would be the easiest conclusion, but puts a...master thesis 2022

Amato, Joshua (author)In the transition towards climate neutrality by 2050 green hydrogen can contribute as a clean and widely applicable energy vector. However, domestic production by electrolysis in the Netherlands will not be able to produce enough hydrogen for the estimated demand. Import of hydrogen will thus be crucial. The Port of Rotterdam (PoR) will play a...bachelor thesis 2022
