Riemersma, B. (author), Correljé, A. (author), Kunneke, R.W. (author)This article studies safety management in future gas systems. It is structured around the compatibility of its technological and institutional coordination. We identify how the current mode of safety management is not in harmony with increasingly complex technological and institutional arrangements, and combine safety science with...journal article 2024

Dizani, A. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Taebi, B. (author), van de Poel, I.R. (author)In recent decades, distinct national approaches to engineering ethics have evolved, each tailored to its unique contextual factors. These contextual disparities make it unfeasible to transfer one country's engineering ethics approach directly into another. This calls for a compelling need to enhance our comprehension of engineering ethics...journal article 2024

Eslamizadeh, S. (author)The transition to renewable energy sources affects all sectors of society, including the industrial sector. Besides climate policy ambitions and other concerns regarding the social and environmental acceptability of energy provision, the transition to renewables may also improve the availability and affordability of energy services. The latter...doctoral thesis 2023

Romero-Muñoz, Sara (author), Alméstar, Manuel (author), Sánchez-Chaparro, Teresa (author), Muñoz Sanz, V. (author)The introduction of forests in cities has been an observable trend in recent years, with planned forest management projects proliferating around the world. The fact that many urban forests in the public space are traditionally managed by top-down bureaucratic procedures and guided by expert knowledge raises questions about whether green areas...journal article 2023

Fouladvand, J. (author)This thesis aims to support the design and implementation of energy-secure thermal energy communities (TEC) by investigating their technical, behavioural and institutional settings through a collective action perspective. The thesis shows that energy-secure TEC initiatives are collective energy systems with particular characteristics and...doctoral thesis 2022

Fouladvand, J. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Mouter, N. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Energy communities are decentralized socio-technical systems where energy is jointly generated and distributed among a community of households locally. As the energy that is shared among the community is commonly electricity, the energy community's literature is dominated by electricity-systems and mostly neglects collective thermal energy as an...journal article 2022

Fouladvand, J. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Sarı, Yasin (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Kunneke, R.W. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)In community energy systems, the energy demand of a group of households is met by collectively generated electricity and heat from renewable energy sources. What makes these systems unique is their collective and collaborative form of organization and their distributed energy generation. While these features are crucial to the resilience of...journal article 2022

Wang, B. (author), Ersoy, A. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author), de Jong, Martin (author)The rapid high-speed railway development in China has faced many institutional challenges for the integrated development of transport and land use in station areas. This paper aims to gain insight into the institutional rules that structure the actors’ interactions and how they influence the integrated development in station areas. The...journal article 2022

Fouladvand, J. (author), Aranguren Rojas, Maria (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Energy communities are key elements for local energy transitions, collectively generating, distributing and consuming energy, using renewable energy technologies. Thermal energy communities, as one type of energy community, are focused on thermal energy applications, such as heating, cooling, bathing, showering and providing hot tap water. As...journal article 2021

Abebe, Y.A. (author)The negative impacts of floods are attributed to the extent and magnitude of a flood hazard, and the vulnerability and exposure of natural and human elements. In flood risk management (FRM) studies, it is crucial to model the interaction between human and flood subsystems across multiple spatial, temporal and organizational scales. Models should...doctoral thesis 2020

Milchram, C. (author)Smart grids within the transition to sustainable energy systems Smart grid systems are widely considered as crucial in the energy transition, because they allow for greater flexibility in bridging temporal gaps between electricity supply and demand in renewable energy systems. To do so, the systems make use of information and communication...doctoral thesis 2020

Hirschhorn, Fabio (author), van de Velde, Didier (author), Veeneman, Wijnand (author), ten Heuvelhof, E.F. (author)Public authorities are under mounting pressure to promote more sustainable urban mobility, including a modal shift from cars. With an empirical focus on Oslo and Amsterdam metropolitan areas, this paper analyses how the interplay between formal frameworks, informal institutions, and individuals’ agency can contribute to making public transport...journal article 2020

Cutz, L. (author), Tomei, J. (author), Nogueira, L. A.H. (author)Fostered by environmental and economic drivers, liquid biofuels are expanding in the global energy matrix. However, many countries with biofuel potential, such as Guatemala, have yet to develop domestic biofuels markets. During the last decade, ethanol production in Guatemala has increased significantly, yet a domestic market does not appear...journal article 2020

Eslamizadeh, S. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Kunneke, R.W. (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author)The industrial sector plays a huge role in creating economic growth. While energy is vital for industries to thrive, various factors are undermining the availability of energy including phasing out of fossil fuels, CO2 emission caps and, the large gap between the fast developments of industrial clusters and the energy supply, especially in...journal article 2020

Milchram, C. (author), Märker, Carolin (author), Schlör, Holger (author), Kunneke, R.W. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)The current transition towards low-carbon energy systems does not only involve changes in technologies but is also shaped by changes in the rules and regulations (i.e., the institutions) that govern energy systems. Institutional change can be influenced by changes in core values - normative principles such as affordability, security of supply...review 2019

Milchram, C. (author), Märker, Carolin (author), Hake, Jürgen Friedrich (author)In efforts to mitigate climate change, energy systems are undergoing a profound transition towards low-carbon systems. This transition does not only involve changes in energy technologies but importantly it is shaped and incentivized by changes in the rules and regulations that govern energy markets. It is a normative transition, focused at...journal article 2019

Van den Berghe, K.B.J. (author), Vos, Martijn (author)The hypothesis of this paper is that the circular economy (CE) has the potential to (re)balance the conflict within urban spatial planning between ‘place as a location’ and the ‘organization of space’. The former dominates the latter following a shift from a Fordist towards a finance and real-estate driven regime. A consequence is that existing...journal article 2019

(author)The Brazilian government aims to increase the share of biofuels in the energy mix to around 18% by 2030, which implies an increase of ethanol production from currently 27 bln liters to over 50 bln liters per year. Biofuel policies play an important role in ethanol production, consumption, and investment in processing capacity. Nevertheless, a...journal article 2018
