Asveld, L. (author), Robaey, Zoë Houda (author), Francke, Sara (author), Osseweijer, P. (author)Biomass such as crops and agricultural waste is increasingly used as the primary resource for products like bioplastics and biofuels. Incorporating the needs, knowledge, skills and values of biomass producers in the design of global value chains – the steps involved in creating any finished product from design to delivery – can contribute to...journal article 2023

Palmeros Parada, M.D.M. (author), Kehrein, P.A. (author), Xevgenos, Dimitris (author), Asveld, L. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author)The recovery of resources, including water reuse, has been presented as a solution to overcome scarcity, and improve the economic and environmental performance of water provision and treatment. However, its implementation faces non-technical challenges, including the need to collaborate with new stakeholders and face societal acceptance...review 2022

Palmeros Parada, M.D.M. (author), van der Wielen, L.A.M. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Pashaei Kamali, F. (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author), van der Putten, Wim H. (author)Aviation biofuels are promising to reduce carbon emissions in the aviation sector. However, emerging concerns over biofuels indicate a need for sustainability analyses that take into consideration the context around biofuel production. Here, we present a novel ex-ante sustainability analysis of production alternatives for aviation biofuel in...book chapter 2022

(author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author)Biobased production has been promoted as an alternative to fossil-based production to mitigate climate change. However, emerging concerns over the sustainability of biobased products have shown that tensions can emerge between different objectives and concerns, like emission reduction targets and food security, and that these are dependent on...journal article 2021

Silva Capaz, R. (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author), Seabra, Joaquim E.A. (author)Although the potential of Alternative Jet Fuels (AJF) to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions has been widely reported upon in the literature, there are still discrepancies among the results. These may be due to the different GHG accounting methods, including those used by different Low-Carbon Policies (LCPs). To have a clearer...journal article 2021

(author)The objective of this paper is to compare, under Dutch market conditions, the energy consumption and net costs of membrane-based advanced treatment processes for three water reuse types (i.e. potable, industrial, agricultural reuse). The water source is municipal waste-water treatment plant effluent. Results indicate that the application of...journal article 2021

Ampe, K.V.J. (author), Paredis, Erik (author), Asveld, L. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author), Block, Thomas (author)Environmental problems are usually not tackled with path-departing policies but rather with incrementally adjusted or unchanged policies. One way to address incremental change is the policy feedback approach, which initially focussed on self-reinforcing feedback and path-dependency. Today, self-undermining feedback is also increasingly being...journal article 2021

Ampe, K.V.J. (author), Paredis, Erik (author), Asveld, L. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author), Block, Thomas (author)More pluralised understandings of incumbencies are often overlooked in transitions research, which may lead to underestimating the enabling roles of incumbents in niche projects. This study explores these roles by applying a power framework to five struggles revolving around a path-breaking decentralised wastewater treatment project in the...journal article 2021

Kehrein, P.A. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author)Municipal wastewater cannot any longer be perceived as a waste stream because it contains water, energy, fertilizer and other products that can be recovered with innovative technologies in so called ‘water resource factories’. Therefore a paradigm shift has been proclaimed to design water resource factories in the future that feed into a...journal article 2020

Silva Capaz, R. (author), Guida, Elisa (author), Seabra, Joaquim E.A. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author)In general, the certified pathways for the production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) are still far from being competitive with fossil kerosene, although they have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, the mitigation costs related to SAFs and how they compete with the carbon credits market remain unclear. The...journal article 2020

(author)The growth in biofuels’ investment brings with it concerns about the social and environmental impacts of the sector. Several tools and frameworks have been used to address these concerns, including the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) framework. This paper analyzes whether this framework can be applied in contexts where local culture...journal article 2020

Sonck, M.M. (author), Asveld, L. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author)The term "responsibility" embodies many meanings, also in the context of corporate research and innovation (R&I). The approach of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) has emerged as a promoter for responsible conduct of innovation but so far lacks a systematic framework for describing, inventorying, and eventually managing different...journal article 2020

Wang, Z. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author)The life cycle human health (HH) impacts related to aviation biofuels have been understood in a limited way. Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) methods for assessing HH are often associated with a high level of uncertainty and a low level of consensus. As a result, it remains challenging to perform a robust assessment of HH impacts with a...journal article 2020

(author)The use of renewable jet fuels (RJFs) is an option for meeting the greenhouse gases (GHG) reduction targets of the aviation sector. Therefore, most of the studies have focused on climate change indicators, but other environmental impacts have been disregarded. In this paper, an attributional life cycle assessment is performed for ten RJF...journal article 2020

Ampe, K.V.J. (author), Paredis, Erik (author), Asveld, L. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author), Block, Thomas (author)Recently, calls have increased for a paradigm shift or transition towards resource recovery and a circular economy in the Dutch wastewater system. However, we have observed diverging interpretations on the nature of the transition. This reflects the political environment of sustainability transitions: political struggle emerges over the...journal article 2019
