In the Netherlands, car taxes since 2006 have become increasingly dependent on a vehicle's CO2 emission level. This ultimately resulted in the introduction of a progressive tax system, related to this emission level, for the vehicle sales tax (VST) in 2010. This study shows...
The CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis and PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency have analysed the election manifestos of 10 political parties in the book Keuzes in Kaart 2013-2017 [Choices Outlined 2013-2017].
The Netherlands is capable of achieving an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This is possible by implementing a mix of reduced energy demand, use of biomass, carbon capture and storage, and clean electricity generation accompanied by an increased share...
Total Dutch greenhouse gas emissions, in 2009, decreased by approximately three per cent, compared with emission levels of 2008. This decrease is a result of the economic crisis, especially due to a decline in industrial production. In 2009, total direct greenhouse gas...
This report contains trend analysis of emissions of greenhouse gases in the period 1990-2008, based on documentation of the methods, emission factors and data sources. In addition, an analysis of so-called key sources and their uncertainty is presented including an overview...
This report constituting the Netherlands Informative Inventory Report (IIR) contains information on the inventories in the Netherlands up to 2008. It includes descriptions of methods and data sources, QA/QC activities carried out and a trend analysis.
In order to develop long-term environmental goals with respect to global climate change an index to compare the temperature increasing effect of greenhouse gas emissions is needed. In this report for the most important greenhouse gases CO2, CH4, N2O, CFC-11 and CFC-12 the...
