Croon, T.M. (author), Hoekstra, J.S.C.M. (author), Elsinga, M.G. (author), Dalla Longa, F. (author), Mulder, Peter (author)Recent energy price spikes have led to increased energy poverty among low-income households living in inefficient homes. Accurate statistics on energy poverty help inform resource allocation and better target relief schemes and retrofit funds. Existing indicators are predominantly defined in terms of a headcount ratio – the share of population...journal article 2023

Bielefeld, S.E. (author), Cvetkovic, M. (author), Ramirez, Andrea (author)Electrification of processes and utilities is considered a promising option towards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the chemical industry. Therefore, electricity demand is expected to increase steeply. Since the sources of future low-carbon electricity are variable in nature, there is a need for strategies to match availability...journal article 2023
