Anand, N.R. (author), Motloung, T. (author), Quak, H.J. (author), van Duin, Ron (author)The number of activities in city logistics is growing rapidly causing an increase in emissions, and a decline in accessibility and safety in cities. Therefore, the Dutch government has introduced GreenDeal Zero-emission city logistics. The goal of this deal is to have 30-40 of the biggest municipalities in the Netherlands have zero-emission city...conference paper 2024

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Densely populated areas are major sources of air, soil and water pollution. Agriculture, manufacturing, consumer households and road traffic all have their share. This is particularly true for the country featured in this paper: the Netherlands. Continuous pollution of the air and soil manifests itself as acification, decalcification and...conference paper 2023

ten Caat, P.N. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)The production, processing, and transportation of food, in particular animal-based products, imposes great environmental burden on the planet. The current food supply system often constitutes a considerable part of the total carbon emissions of urban communities in industrialised cities. Urban food production (UFP) is a method that can...journal article 2022

PARLAKTUNA, Mahmut (author), Durucan, Sevket (author), PARLAKTUNA, Burak (author), SINAYUÇ, Çağlar (author), Janssen, M.T.G. (author), ŞENTÜRK, Erdinç (author), TONGUÇ, Erinç (author), DEMİRCİOĞLU, Öncü (author), POLETTO, Flavio (author)The noncondensable gases in most geothermal resources include CO2 and smaller amounts of other gases. Currently, the worldwide geothermal power is a small sector within the energy industry, and CO2 emissions related to the utilisation of geothermal resources are consequently small. In some countries, however, such as Turkey and Iceland,...journal article 2021

Frömming, C. (author), Grewe, V. (author), Brinkop, S. (author), Haslerud, Amund S. (author), Rosanka, S. (author), Matthes, Sigrun (author), van Manen, J. (author)Emissions of aviation include CO2, H2O, NOx and particles. While CO2 has a long atmospheric residence time and is uniformly distributed in the atmosphere, non-CO2 gases, particles and their products have short atmospheric residence times and are heterogeneously distributed. Their climate effects depend on chemical and meteorological background...abstract 2020

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Tourism is a fast-growing key industry, which provides an economic rationale for governments to stimulate it. The more it grows, the higher the negative environmental effects and the more the use of space, resources, pollution and travel. Sustainable tourism aims to strike a balance between the environmental, economic and social effects of...journal article 2019

Noussan, M. (author), Roberto, R. (author), Nastasi, B. (author)Power Grids face significant variability in their operation, especially where there are high proportions of non-programmable renewable energy sources constituting the electricity mix. An accurate and up-to-date knowledge of operational data is essential to guaranteeing the optimal management of the network, and this aspect will be even more...journal article 2018

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Regional goods delivery fulfils an essential socio-economic function, in particular, in dense urbanized areas in countries like The Netherlands. Shippers (producers or traders), transport service providers, businesses and private households favour road transport, because of logistic and financial reasons. Delivery and pick-up vehicles are mainly...journal article 2018

Lührs, Benjamin (author), Niklaß, Malte (author), Frömming, Christine (author), Grewe, V. (author), Gollnick, Volker (author)Besides CO2, the climate impact of commercial aviation is strongly influenced by non-CO2 effects, which are highly sensitive to meteorological conditions and their spatial variations. To assess the cost-benefit potential (climate impact mitigation vs. cost increase) of climate and weather optimized flight trajectories in the North Atlantic...conference paper 2018

Bekebrede, G. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), Wenzler, I. (author), van Veen, A.J. (author)Cities face a challenging task in reducing CO2 emissions. Multiple technical solutions on district level as well as household level are available; multiple stakeholders with different values and possibilities to intervene are involved; and their actions highly influence the performance. To get a better understanding of these complexities and to...conference paper 2018

Melet, E. (author)As a result of the large amounts of CO2 emissions the built environment produces, it contributes immensely to climate change. Within the strategies developed to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions, getting buildings to an energy-neutral level is one of the main priorities. The blueprint for this altered energy-efficient building now seems to be...doctoral thesis 2017

Storm, S.T.H. (author), Mir, G.U.R. (author)We assess the Carbon-Kuznets-Curve hypothesis using internationally consistent and comparable production-based versus consumption-based CO2 emissions data for 40 countries(and 35 industries) during 1995-2007 from the World Input Output Database (WIOD). Theestimates for per capita CO2 emissions are truly comprehensive as these include all...report 2016

Yang, Q. (author), Zhenpeng, Z. (author)The increasing energy demand in China due to urbanization has made the study of different energy policies in big cities a crucial topic of discussion. This is a complex problem since the electricity market is a multi-actor system where various actors may have a great influence on the main issue we are focusing on. In order to reduce the energy...conference paper 2014

Eftekhari, A.A. (author)This thesis evaluates the possibility of using underground coal gasification with a low CO2 footprint. The thesis consists of two parts. In the first part, by using the concept of exergy, a framework was constructed through which the practicality (feasibility) of an energy conversion/extraction method can be systematically evaluated. This...doctoral thesis 2013
