Kolman, Stephan (author)The Netherlands is in de midst of an energy transition, 7 million households and 1 million buildings that are currently poorly insulated and heated by natural gas must be transformed into well-insulated buildings and heated with a sustainable heat source. The government encourages homeowners to make their home more sustainable by providing...master thesis 2022

de Ronde, Wouter (author)This study focussed on the position of the Coal-to-Gas (CtG) transition of Almaty (Kazakhstan) within its wider energy goals to become energy neutral in 2060. Within CtG-transition the focus was mainly on the biggest coal-based power plant (CHP-2) of the city, which is planned to convert gas-based energy production.<br/><br/>The methodology...master thesis 2022

Fouladvand, J. (author)This thesis aims to support the design and implementation of energy-secure thermal energy communities (TEC) by investigating their technical, behavioural and institutional settings through a collective action perspective. The thesis shows that energy-secure TEC initiatives are collective energy systems with particular characteristics and...doctoral thesis 2022

Hu, Lidha (author)We find ourselves at a crossroads; without immediate and deep emissions reductions, limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will be impossible. For the Netherlands to achieve its climate targets, Dutch municipalities have been delegated the crucial task of the heat transition. Prior research reveals that the Dutch energy transition and...master thesis 2022

Klein, Jelle (author)The energy transition requires massive expansion and reinforcement of the transmission grid which is challenging because of its high utilization, and regular maintenance, replacement, and repair. The difficulty of performing maintenance on high-voltage equipment and especially the substations lies in the fact that a big part of the substation...master thesis 2022

Saini, Raghav (author)Engineering has a significant cultural component in addition to its widespread perception as an engine of innovation and economic growth. This cultural component corresponds to how users and communities react or adapt to technological innovations and their influence on the advancement of such innovations. Hence, it is critical to prioritize the...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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Goyal, N. (author), Taeihagh, Araz (author), Howlett, Michael (author)A transition to sustainable energy will require not only technological diffusion and behavioral change, but also policy innovation. While research on energy transitions has generated an extensive literature, the extent to which it has used the policy innovation perspective – entailing policy entrepreneurship or invention, policy diffusion, and...review 2022

(author), Marence, M. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author)To counteract a potential reduction in grid stability caused by a rapidly growing share of intermittent renewable energy sources within our electrical grids, large scale deployment of energy storage will become indispensable. Pumped hydro storage is widely regarded as the most cost-effective option for this. However, its application is...review 2022
