Işık, Ugurcan (author)The shifting global climate patterns present an imminent threat to human existence. Addressing this critical issue necessitates decisive action in multiple sectors, including the mobility service, to mitigate climate change. As the world seeks cleaner alternatives, hydrogen has emerged as a promising solu- tion. TotalEnergies, a prominent energy...master thesis 2023

Margry, Sebastian (author)This study examines the relative importance of contract attributes in the context of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) contracts by means of a choice experiment. The experiment was conducted with 67 Dutch car drivers, including both EV drivers and non-EV drivers. They were asked to choose between two V2G contracts with different contract attributes and an...master thesis 2023

Boon, Ricardo (author)Carbon dioxide can be used during concrete production, which leads to stronger concrete as well as a sequestration method for CO2. While these technologies are developed quite far, they are currently not being used within society nor is there any systemic overview of the system and a reason why these technologies are not used. This thesis...master thesis 2023

de Boer, Niels (author)Increased pace of developments strain the ability of policy makers to be timely and sufficiently informed. While there are already sufficient methods available for gauging what plays a role, topic modelling is a novel method that has the potential to be deployed at high speed with low effort. Values play an important role as it shapes policy...master thesis 2023

Oei, Laurens (author)In order for the Netherlands to reach CO2 neutrality by 2050, large investments in zero emission technologies are needed. These investments would comprise out of renewable energy generation, higher energy efficiency alternatives and electrification of end uses. Although climate mitigation has become an ever growing societal...master thesis 2022

van de Loo, Koen (author)The urgency for decarbonization of the energy grid is ever increasing and fossil energy sources must be replaced by sustainable sources of energy to prevent detrimental levels of global warming. Renewable energy sources wind and solar show potential and contribute to decarbonization but are intermitted and require storage solutions that are...master thesis 2022

Doorman, Anniek (author)Intermittent renewable energy supply changes in time and is uncertain, and needs to be balanced (i.e. matched) with demand at all times, which requires system flexibility. Congested distribution and transmission grids in the Netherlands and Germany highlights the importance of providing system flexibility. Residential, commercial and industrial...master thesis 2022

Chen, Annie (author)As the Earth's temperature rises, it is critical that countries address and adapt to climate change. The European Union (EU) is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 (European Commission, 2018).The cornerstone of the EU’s climate policy to combat climate change is the EU Emission Trading System (ETS). It is the world’s first major...master thesis 2022

Schumacher, Merel (author)By the year 2050, the Dutch government aims to have transitioned away from natural gas and provide heating to all residential dwellings using more sustainable technologies. Heat pumps (both all-electric and hybrid models) are expected to play a large role in fulfilling this heating demand. However, because heat pumps require electricity in order...master thesis 2021

Hesselink, Florian (author)The Dutch heating transition involves changing the heating systems of eight million buildings to a sustainable alternative by 2050. Many heating system technologies are available, but deciding which systems are cheapest for all these buildings is a difficult question to answer. Local policymakers are increasingly making use of heating transition...master thesis 2021

van der Ende, Ruben (author)Climate change and global warming are some of the greatest challenges the world is currently facing. This challenge has structural impacts on the natural environment as well as on human well-being. As a response to the concerns regarding climate change, the Netherlands started a renewable energy transition. Nevertheless, the realisation of the...master thesis 2021

Trago, Bas (author)By analysing existing agent-based model (ABM) charging behaviour formalisations, this study evaluates the impact of a new static band-width network tariff structure on charging demand. Additionally, this approach enables a comparative study to reflect upon the susceptibility and value of the ABM method. Based on the simulation results, this...master thesis 2020

Hoogerbrugge, Coen (author)One of the tools that is being equipped in the fight against global warming is greenhouse gas accounting. This thesis studies what factors standard setters can use to influence the probability of widespread adoption for a newly proposed standardized measurement and calculation methodology for corporate greenhouse gas inventories. A theoretical...master thesis 2020

Wang, J.R. (author)Global Earth Systems Integrated Assessment Models are used by policymakers to understand the complex interactions between anthropogenic activity, including energy use, and its environmental impacts. However, they are computationally expensive, so spatiotemporal resolution is kept low as a trade-off. Generally, the smallest geopolitical component...master thesis 2020

Swart, Freek (author)Binding climate agreements and the necessity to lower greenhouse gas emission levels requires increasing implementation of carbon abatement options and supporting policies on a global level. Due to the wide range of possible strategies, policymakers experience problems in choosing the right carbon<br/>abatement strategy. This challenge has led...master thesis 2019

Boijmans, Anne (author)This research has been performed to help the Dutch government with the decisions and choices it has to make in order to meet the requirements of the Paris Agreement and the Climate Agreement. Decentralized energy systems can be a solution for meeting these requirements, however trade-offs have to be made between different system criteria, which...master thesis 2019

Soana, Michele (author)Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) curves rank emission abatement options according to their marginal implementation cost and are an extremely popular tool to draft energy strategies. Although relevant and elegant, MAC curves are often insufficient to justify the implementation of abatement options, as many of the ones ranked financially convenient...master thesis 2018

de Jong, Vera (author)Hydrogen technology offers a promising opportunity to mitigate problems that arise due to the energy transition. It can enable storage and balancing for surplus in electricity production from intermittent resources as solar energy and wind power. Electrolysis converts green electricity into hydrogen. Hydrogen is suggested to be introduced into...master thesis 2018

Bloemhof, Jesse (author)Due to the transition to sustainable transport, an increase of the share of electric vehicles is expected. The electric vehicles will increase the peak demand on the electricity grid. It is possible to shift the demand of the electric vehicles using smart grid technology. The electric vehicle owners have the option to use this smart electric...master thesis 2018

Boldrini, Nicola (author)Margot Wallstrom once argued that there can be no sustainable development without sustainable energy development. Despite several organizations already recognized that (rural) electrification leads to socio-economic developments and improvements related to health, productivity and education in 2013, 1.2 billion people – half of which in Africa –...master thesis 2018
