Enhancing textile reuse in the Netherlands: An agent-based modelling study towards reuse rebound effects and value changes in the textile industry

Enhanced textile reuse is required due to the textile industry's increasing environmental pressure. In order to reach this, behavioural change is necessary. However, it is currently unknown which changes in consumer values that determine textile reuse consumption are<br/>most effective. In addition, rebound effects appear: reuse lowers the...

Impact of actor behaviour on the circular debt crisis in Pakistan's electricity sector - An Agent-Based Modelling approach

A reliable, accessible, and affordable electricity provision is crucial for economic development in emerging markets. For some emerging countries, ill-advised policies, unfortunate market development, and a bad starting position together with the already complex nature of the electricity sector caused circular debt to accumulate. Circular debt...

Recurring COVID-19 Vaccinations: What is the required performance of the vaccination system to keep the vaccination rate above a sufficient level and minimize virus spread, given uncertainties in vaccine supply and negative social influence regarding vaccinations?

The duration of protection that COVID-19 vaccines provide is still uncertain (Murray &amp; Piot, 2021). Therefore, a possible future scenario is that the entire population will need an extra dose of a vaccine. Yearly recurring flu vaccinations take place at general practices (GP), so this might also be the case for COVID-19 vaccinations. General...

Inside the resource allocation process: An agent-based model design of the resource allocation process

The world is currently a rushed environment; things change faster than ever. Technological innovations impress us again every year. Many innovations that enhance society are the result of innovating organisations. These organisations invest in innovative solutions, for their own good, but eventually also for the greater good. Allocating...

Financial Incentives for the Development of Industrial Energy Community Systems: Modeling of renewable energy generation in undustrial clusters

The development of energy communities across the globe is a landmark for the development of decentralized generation, supporting the transition to renewable energy sources. However, energy communities focus on households with little attention to industries or towards the development of Industrial Community Energy Systems. A central issue is the...

Evaluation of the energy potential of organic waste in Havenstad : From a systems modelling and behavioural perspective

Waste-to-Energy (WtE) serves as an important source to meet the growing energy demands of the world in a sustainable manner. It can help in the reduction of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions, lower the risk of environmental pollution and contribute towards the establishment of a circular economy. By generating steam or electrical energy, WtE...
