The Green Hydrogen Dilemma

The global energy landscape is going through a profound transition towards sustainability to combat climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuel. Hydrogen, particularly green hydrogen produced…

What are just and feasible climate targets for the Netherlands?

The Netherlands has already set emission reduction targets for 2030 and 2050 with the aim to contribute to achieving the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Agreement. In February, the European Commission…

Comparing the ambition of EU companies with science-based targets to EU regulation-imposed reductions

Companies can support governments in bridging the emissions gap between current policies and the Paris goals by adhering to voluntary greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets that align with or…

Environmental impacts of extraction and processing of raw materials for the energy transition

Disutility of climate change damages may warrant much stricter climate targets

Cost-benefit integrated assessment models (IAMs) inform the policy deliberation process by determining cost-optimal greenhouse gas emission reduction pathways based on economic considerations. These…

Abolishing fossil fuel subsidies: A brain teaser rather than a no-brainer

In this study, CPB and PBL conclude that the discussion on fossil fuel subsidies in the Netherlands focuses primarily on the level of tax revenue that is potentially foregone due to exemptions or…

The opportunities, challenges, and potentials for hydrogen in Africa

Under stringent climate change mitigation scenarios, hydrogen is projected to play a central role in decarbonising the global energy system, complementing electrification and energy efficiency…

Spread in climate policy scenarios unravelled

Analysis of climate policy scenarios has become an important tool for identifying mitigation strategies, as demonstrated in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group III…
