In recent years, the French onshore wind industry has met increasing barriers to new projects despite more supportive policies being implemented. This research uses an adaptation of MLP and SNM transition study frameworks to examine the reasons for these shortfalls.
The thesis include two levels of study: a national level and a local level of govern...
We develop a descriptive framework to facilitate policy instrument evaluation in relation to the low-carbon transition. The framework consists of a stock-taking and mapping analysis based on five questions. Four questions allow the policy maker to take stock of the existing set of instruments and provide a description of the key attributes and ince...
With increasing shares of variable renewable energy sources in the power mix, the need for energy storage solutions is projected to increase as well. Storage can in such combined systems help mitigate the issues with relying on intermittent sources by time-shifting the supply and smoothing out frequency fluctuations, to name some examples. This the...
The EU has set out to reduce negative impacts from electricity generation on the environment, human health and towards our dependence on fossil fuels. As the fastest growing renewable source of electricity, photovoltaics plays an important role in the energy transition. The manufacturing of photovoltaic modules requires materials classified as crit...
Indonesia has ambitious plans to reach CO2 neutrality by 2060. While plans to reach this goal have been made for the energy and forestry sector, no plans have been published for the transport sector specifically. The amount of private vehicles on the road in 2060 has been predicted to increase significantly. Backcasting was used in tandem with path...
The Indonesian government has announced a national strategy to achieve net-zero emissions through energy transition and justice. However, there are no extensive studies that assess the impact of this strategy and the growing demand in the Kalimantan power system. Therefore, this thesis project aims to conduct a techno-economic and energy justice an...
Renewable energy generation projects are often measured by their peak capacity. A wind farm rated at 25 MW will generate 25 MW of power under the right circumstances. This peak capacity is reached very little in practice. However, these generators are forced to purchase grid operation infrastructure that can handle this peak generation event. The h...

In this paper, we study the relationship between resilience and sustainable development in order to determine the place of road resilience in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as climate action and energy transition. This study shows that road resilience is inseparable from adaptation to climate change, its mitigation and the energy tra...
In 2021, many Dutch municipalities have started to transition away from fossil fuel sources towards more sustainable ones in order to achieve the goals set by the Parisian climate agreement of 2015. 2021 was also the year in which a new Omgevingswet was introduced in the Netherlands, in which citizen participation has become a very important pillar...
