The construction industry is subjet to a wide range of uncertainties and risks. Although detailed risk management processes have been created, many projects still fail one or more of the initial objectives. This research looks into the influence of risk attitude on the risk amnagement process and provides practitioners with both a tool to...

Emission-free zones are being instituted in cities in the Netherlands to combat the emissions caused by transportation activity causing operators of large commercial vehicle fleets to electrify their vehicle fleet. E-truck fleets need sufficient charging infrastructure and power capacity at the distribution centres they operate from. However,...

Port performance is under pressure due to high congestion levels and a need to reduce GHG emissions. The industry is looking for ways to increase efficiency in ports. A promising concept is known as port call optimization where waiting times and turn-around times can be reduced. This research contributes to the body of port call optimization...

The energy transition makes us less dependent on fossil fuels, but it also brings a new dependence to the table: a dependence on critical metals for green technology. This study used an Exploratory System Dynamics Modelling and Analysis approach to analyse the transition to a circular lithium system towards 2050 and the potential effectiveness...

The Dutch government program “ A circular economy in the Netherlands by 2050“ prioritizes the 100% recycling of plastics used in the country by 2050 to reduce the consumption of fossil resources and increase the value of the plastic waste, which is currently incinerated or exported in its majority [1]. This objective can be facilitated by...

The carbon energy economy is gradually transforming into a sustainable energy economy, of which green hydrogen is regarded as one of the key players within it. However, although green hydrogen is spoken about extensively, significant production volumes and applications are yet to be introduced globally. The same holds for the Netherlands....

Following the Paris Agreement, the national government of the Netherlands reached the Climate Agreement together with more than 100 organizations. As part of this agreement, the industry sector is faced with the ambitious goal of 59% CO2 reduction in 2030 with respect to 1990 levels. Since the naphtha cracking industry is one of the most...

Most countries have shown their concern towards global warming and made commitments to decrease carbon emissions. Energy usage will have to become more efficient and generated by an increasing amount of sustainable resources. Hard-to-abate industries will require incentives to decarbonize their processes. Research shows that consumer-facing...

In order to achieve the goal of sustainability, industries will have to make a transition to renewable energy and a more circular production. This requires substantial investments as well as constructive cooperation between the various companies in industrial clusters. The problem addressed in this thesis is to find ways of determining optimal...

In 2018 the Dutch national government announced its decision to end natural gas extraction. This decision poses a challenge for local governments (municipalities) which have to organize a heat supply that is natural gas-free. Energy models can decrease the complexity of this challenge, but some challenges hinder the effective use of energy...

Abstract The technical and geographical characteristics of fossil fuels have shaped interstate energy relations for decades. The ongoing energy transition leads to an increasing share of renewables in the electricity mix. Since technical and geographical characteristics of renewables differ significantly from those of fossil fuels, it is likely...

Transport sector CO2 emissions are on the rise and responsible for nearly 30% of the EU’s total CO2 emissions (European Parliament,2019). An attractive way to reduce the CO2 emissions by transport is by changing the fuel used. Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in a clean, secure and affordable energy future (IEA). However, a clean,...

The transportation sector is considered to be one of the significant contributors of carbon emissions around the world. With the rise in carbon emissions, electric vehicles are increasingly becoming popular globally. Most of the developed countries are moving towards the electrification of the transportation sector at a faster pace. Although the...

A trend in current society is reducing the environmental impact of products. One of the industries in which this trend is noticeable is the yachting industry. Yachts with a lower environmental impact are being demanded. Furthermore, regulations are being put in place that are likely to limit the effect yachts can have on the environment. One...

Currently, the inland shipping industry is not sufficiently incentivised to invest in sustainable technologies in order to reduce their emissions. The industry itself wants to be more sustainable, but there is insufficient financial room to invest in alternative technologies. Besides, public authorities try to achieve a reduction using command...

This research has compared three different market mechanisms in a quantitative way. The influences of these market mechanisms on the heating system were investigated for CO2 emissions, consumer price and producer surplus. In addition, the influences of investment decisions and price and consumption growth scenarios were tested. The research...
