Juárez Pastor, Lidia (author), Subramanian, Vrishali (author), Cucurachi, S. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Solid waste management in low- and middle-income countries like India faces significant challenges due to the increasing waste generation that surpasses the current capacity. Therefore, the informal waste sector (IWS) is more vital than ever in handling consumer waste alongside municipal solid waste management (SWM) systems. However, the...journal article 2024

Meenakshi Sundaram, A. (author), Goncalves, J. E. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Verma, T. (author)Governments often use price-based policies such as tax-subsidies and rebates to encourage households to shift to renewable energy sources like rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV). These policies, however, have primarily benefited high-income homeowners, leaving others behind. This paper proposes leveraging social networks’ influence on attitudes...journal article 2024

Dizani, A. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Taebi, B. (author), van de Poel, I.R. (author)In recent decades, distinct national approaches to engineering ethics have evolved, each tailored to its unique contextual factors. These contextual disparities make it unfeasible to transfer one country's engineering ethics approach directly into another. This calls for a compelling need to enhance our comprehension of engineering ethics...journal article 2024

(author)Agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS), whether simple toy models or complex data-driven ones, is regularly applied in various domains to study the system-level patterns arising from individual behaviour and interactions. However, ABMS still faces diverse challenges such as modelling more representative agents or improving computational...journal article 2023

Melnyk, A. (author), Cox, H.R.L. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Hoppe, T. (author)In the European Union, energy democracy (ED) is considered a socially desirable policy goal. One way to achieve ED is through empowering local communities to become agents of value change who can pursue more sustainable and equitable energy provision with community energy initiatives (CEI). However, such people-driven value change is complex in...journal article 2023

Eslamizadeh, S. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author)The importance of decreasing industrial CO2 footprints has become evident, as also highlighted in COP26. As such, the transition to renewable energy in the industrial sector is essential to meet the targets. To this aim, establishing industrial community energy systems (InCES) where industries collectively invest in a shared energy system is an...journal article 2023

Eslamizadeh, S. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Castelo Branco Ferreira Costa, R. (author), Kunneke, R.W. (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author)Considering that the industrial sector consumes almost one-third of the energy demand globally, it is an urgent call to reduce the carbon footprints in this sector. Among different approaches to meet this goal, such as the employment of carbon capture technologies and increasing energy efficiency within industries, transitioning to renewable...journal article 2022

Fouladvand, J. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Mouter, N. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Energy communities are decentralized socio-technical systems where energy is jointly generated and distributed among a community of households locally. As the energy that is shared among the community is commonly electricity, the energy community's literature is dominated by electricity-systems and mostly neglects collective thermal energy as an...journal article 2022

Fouladvand, J. (author), Verkerk, D. (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Energy communities are gaining momentum in the context of the energy transition. Given the distributed and collective action nature of energy communities, energy security of these local energy systems is more than just security of supply and related to issues such as affordability and acceptability of energy to members of the community. We build...conference paper 2022
