▼ The world’s greenhouse gas emissions have steadily increased as a result of the continued use of fossil fuels, causing climate change. Nevertheless, sustainable energy technologies implementation has increased steadily in the last decade as society attempts to transition to a sustainable, zero emission energy system. The consequences of climate change are plentiful and represent a huge challenge for the whole world, but for islands they represent a threat to their existence. Islands rely on expensive imported fossil fuels for their energy supply, which not only contribute to climate change but represent a threat in terms of energy security. Nonetheless, they also have all the possibilities and incentives to become the world's leading example on how to transition to sustainable energy systems. Generally, islands possess abundant renewable resources which can be exploited and have smaller (less complex) systems compared to mainland grids. Moreover, many islands have set targets for renewable energy integration. However, in order for a transition to a sustainable energy system to happen there are multiple challenges that need to be overcome. One of the most important is lack of knowledge on the global potential of various sustainable energy technologies and their potential impact on the energy system. This thesis has investigated the potential effect that different conditions on power supply and electricity demand have on the cost-optimal configurations of hybrid renewable energy systems of islands. This was done by studying the roles of various generating technologies (PV, Wind, OTEC, tidal, WEC and biodiesel) on the supply side and scenarios regarding residential heat electrification and commercial cooling on the demand side. For this purpose, a general model was developed on which the proposed loads and the power system performance was evaluated. The system was optimized using multiobjective optimization with economic (LCOE) and renewable integration (coverage) objective functions by means of a non dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). Eleven islands spread throughout the world were used as case studies. It was found that there is a strong business case for renewable energy on islands as LCOE decreases with their implementation. Mature technologies such as wind and PV often have an important role in the first stages of the transition with wind always being part of the cost-optimal configurations and favoured in the 0%-50% range of renewable integration and PV starting at 30% and up to 70%. At higher levels their deployment is limited by the cost of storage and required overcapacities. Ocean technologies, particularly OTEC due to its baseload power generation, proved to have a potential role at higher integration shares starting in the range of 60% - 80%, greatly reducing energy curtailment. Finally, biodiesel was found to be important at the last stages limiting the cost and reducing overcapacity of generating and storage technologies. ***This thesis was carried out…

▼ With the increasing Green House Gas emissions around the world, adoption of sustainable energy technologies is beginning to take a prominent role. As a part of its 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, India has been getting more ambitious in its targets for reducing the emissions intensity of GDP. Both at the central as well as state governments, action plans for energy transition are coming up through increasing Renewables penetration in electricity, electric mobility, and others. Telangana is a state in the southern part of India which has relatively progressive policies for the promotion of Renewable Energy (RE). However, its future plans in electricity and transportation sectors do not offer a thorough and holistic pathways for decarbonization. This thesis deals with developing the pathways for Telangana to decarbonize its electricity and transport sectors (partially) by 2040. The framework used is called Participatory backcasting where several stakeholders who are a part of the current system are interviewed and a desired future vision of energy transition is framed and interventions needed to achieve this are made.

▼ The dynamic and fast-changing environment brings challenges for generating long-term visions of the future; scenarios. Outdated scenarios will result in future pathways that are no longer achievable and therefore reduces their relevance and usefulness for making decisions. As some uncertainty is resolved over time, while other uncertainties arise, it is important to take these changes into account. Although the need to update scenarios to create meaningful insight for making decisions is clearly recognized, a clear and structured method for executing this process remains unclear. I propose that to configure a solution, two concepts need to be introduced 1) scenarios consist of a multi-layered structure, and 2) changes considered should be classified according to their impact and uncertainty. Based on this classification, changes are incorporated into the different layers distinguished. To apply these concepts during an update, the paper presents a generic framework to structurally incorporate new information and uncertainties into scenarios, keeping them up-to-date, guaranteeing that the scenarios remain realistic and useful. Within a test case the framework is applied to four scenarios describing the European power market to illustrate how the framework performs in a practical context. Results show that using the framework allows the complexity of the update to be simplified into a step-by-step process. Additionally, it increases transparency by creating a common language for understanding if and how the changing external environment should be incorporated within scenarios.

A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Energy Transition Within 1.5 oC: Backcasting Scenario for 100% Decarbonization of the Global Energy System by 2050.

▼ Limiting global temperature increase by 1.5 ̊C rather than 2 ̊C reduces the impacts of climate change significantly (Knutti et al., 2015; Schleussner et al., 2016). It requires a rigorous transition of the global energy system in a very short time span. Though, the published energy scenarios that focus on 1.5 ̊C are limited (Peters, 2016). In this thesis, a backcasting study is conducted to develop a global energy transition scenario to stay within 1.5 ̊C, reaching net zero emissions by 2050. The backcasting framework comprises of six different steps of analysing: 1) goals and constraints, 2) current production and consumption, 3) future demand for energy services, 4) final energy demand, 5) outline the energy supply, 6) describe the implications. The growing population and economy are expected to come with an increase in demand for energy services in the coming decades. Especially in developing countries, a catch up is foreseen. Efficiency improvements and use of more efficient technologies nevertheless enable a decrease of total primary energy supply between 2014 and 2050 (-21%). Furthermore, the final electricity demand triples in this scenario (up to 241 EJ by 2050) of which 73% is met by photovoltaics and wind. Electricity should be derived from 100% renewable sources by as soon as 2040. Despite the rapid decarbonization, the carbon budget for 1.5 ̊C is exceeded. In total, 680 Gt CO2 is emitted from fossil fuel combustion and cement between 2014 and 2050, of which more than 78% is emitted between 2014 and 2030. Total additional negative emissions would still be required of between 370 and 587 Gt CO2 by the end of this century. A potential pitfall of the proposed transition is that the unilateral focus on mitigating climate change could result in new environmental problems such as intoxication of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems (UNEP, 2016). Integrated research is required to understand the implications and make trade-offs more explicit.

▼ The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources brings along the reduction of the supply temperature of the distribution heating networks, because renewable energy sources usually provide heat at lower temperatures. This master thesis specifically focuses on the buildings because it is uncertain which adaptations are necessary to ensure thermal comfort when the supply temperature decreases. Especially in existing buildings, since they were originally designed for high operating temperatures. A case study was conducted by studying the performance of a non-residential building under different simulated scenarios to enable lower operating temperatures in the heating network. The objectives of the research are two: 1) to develop of a protocol for data collection and selection of promising adaptations that facilitates a case study on this topic and 2) to compare the observed effects of the different possible adaptations on the required operating temperatures in this case study with the results of the few other studies available. The most interesting results derived from the case study are that it is possible to lower the peak power, and thus the operating temperatures, in the current situation of the selected building, without any adaptation, from 78/70 °C to 63/55 °C. Assuming that the mass flow is decreased in order to achieve a bigger temperature difference between supply and return, operating temperatures can be 70/50 °C. Mass flow control through radiators should then be implemented in order to obtain the lowest possible return temperature for a given supply temperature. During the implementation phase of the geothermal project, the implications of this measure need to be studied. When heat losses are small, smart settings in the building management system prove successful to lower the supply temperature further. In the controls and operation scenarios, adjusting the room temperature setpoints and the heating schedules enables even lower supply and return temperatures, 50/35 °C. In old, poorly insulated buildings, minimal renovations in the buildings’ envelope are crucial (and often sufficient) to enable low temperature heating. When the building without renovations was simulated, it was not possible to lower the operating temperatures; instead, the required temperature increased to 90/70 °C. Changes in the energy system, such as the installation of radiators designed for lower temperature heating, also enable supply and return temperatures of 50/35 °C. The case study building has a ventilation system with heat recovery and pre-heating of air to 19 °C. A scenario is simulated with a system with only heat recovery. The ventilation air is introduced in the room at lower temperatures, and the heating system takes over the heat demand. For the same operating temperatures, 70/50 °C, the heat recovery scenario suffers a decrease in the thermal comfort. Seeing the effect of the heating through ventilation air in lowering the supply and return temperatures, a central ventilation system with heat recovery and…

▼ This study emphasizes on how the future power demand in Suriname can be met with sustainable energy sources. The scope of the power demand is limited to the electricity supply for residential and industry as well as for the road transportation sector in case of electrification of vehicles. Moreover, through the unbundling of the energy sector, assessment of renewable energy potentials and the application of the backcasting framework by Quist, policy packages are developed. Finally, a transition pathway for the selected scenario is developed, together with the recommendations on how to achieve the desired vision.

▼ During the Paris Agreement of 2015, 195 UNFCCC members pledged to improve the global response to climate change by reducing the carbon emissions and contributing to keeping the average global temperature increase well below 2° above the pre-industrial levels. The whole world is gradually shifting towards renewable resources but this transition to non-conventional energy sources looks very slow compared to what is required to prevent the extreme effects of global warming. Countries that have shown tremendous promise, out of some of the largest solar and wind energy producers, are India and China. Both these countries have shown astonishing growth rates and boast of huge world shares in 2017 for the cumulative installed Solar PV. The total installed wind energy capacities for India and China till 2017 are also very large. Even though these growth rates look very large and are a promising start towards the complete shift to renewable energy, they are still not adequate to reduce the global carbon emissions levels fast enough to keep the average temperature change to 1.5°C. Thus, in this thesis, we aim to identify and analyze the barriers to diffusion of Solar PV and Wind energy in India and China, using interpretive structural analysis (ISM) method, so that we can propose solutions and policy recommendations to further accelerate the diffusion of these technologies. We plan to use the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) method to study the inter-relations between barriers and finally present a hierarchy among them, so that the most important ones can be solved first.

▼ The residential sector is responsible for over 55% of the natural gas consumption in the Netherlands. In the climate accord of Paris, the Netherlands came to an agreement with the rest of the world leaders to limit the overall temperature rise by reducing the consumption of and by switching away from carbon-based fuels. The gas mining induced earthquakes in the northern part of the Netherlands increases the pressure on Dutch society to reduce natural gas consumption. The residential sector can play a role in reducing the consump- tion of natural gas in accordance with the Paris accord and to mitigate gas mining induced earthquakes. The amount of natural gas consumed per household is dependent on the behavioural aspects of residents, which are the biggest cause of uncertainty in estimating natural gas consumption. Current natural gas consumption based calculations are based upon dwelling characteristics and are not adjusted to individual behavioural as- pects. The inside temperature in a dwelling is seen as the primal indicator of residential heat consumption. The behavioural aspects of residents in the form of thermostat interaction are analysed in this thesis. The potential saving in the residential sector is addressed by including thermostat practices of residents in the estimation of potential savings. The goal of this thesis is to identify thermostat practice in dwellings by the use of disaggregated energy con- sumption data and estimate the impact of adjusting individual thermostat practices on the natural gas con- sumption in the residential sector. Disaggregated energy consumption data is seen as detailed individual household consumption data. To reach the goal the following research question is answered: What insights in thermostat practices that influence natural gas consumption of individual house- holds can be identified by a combined analysis of electricity and thermostat use? Practice theory is used to understand the underlying mechanisms at play in household interaction with their thermostat. Disaggregated consumption data is used to gain insights in thermostat practices of individual dwellings. The thermostat practices of households are used to group specific practices and indemnify poten- tial savings in the residential sector. The smart meter/ thermostat Toon is used to gather individual thermostat interactions and gas and electricity consumption data. Grouping of individual households with the use of clustering on the basis of thermostat settings is used to determine similar thermostat practices. Households with similar thermostat practices are grouped together, with the use of unsupervised classification in the form of hierarchal clustering. Similar thermostat practices groups are used to shape potential thermostat adjustments and assess the impact of these adjustments. Thermostat practices of households are evaluated with the use of occupancy detection to identify potentials savings. A connection between thermostat practices and household occupancy is made with the use of elec-…

▼ In order to determine how the energy sector of the Netherlands can or should look in the future, energy scenarios are used to explore possible alternative futures. Many scenarios for the Netherlands exist, but a classification of contemporary Dutch electricity scenarios is missing. Additionally, agent-based modelling (ABM) has often been proposed for energy scenario development as it is able to model the uncertain behaviour of energy companies, which is not possible in more traditional energy scenario models. However, a recent publication of the impacts of the Dutch climate agreement seems to suggest that agent-based modelling is not yet used to develop energy scenarios in the Netherlands. This research first classified Dutch energy scenarios for 2030 which are focused on the electricity sector. Additionally, it analysed two Dutch energy scenario with EMLab, an agent-based model. The agent-based model was able to replicate the scenario results when the inputs of that scenario were used. Additionally, it showed how uncertain behaviour would cause overinvestments and what measures can be used to impact this behaviour. The results show that ABM can and should be used to support scenario development for the Netherlands.

▼ This study has been performed in cooperation with TNO and set out to analyze the robustness of Dutch energy transition policies under deep uncertainty for the scope of the built environment sector. Open data is gathered which is used in a System Dynamics model to allow exploration under deep uncertainty. The Adaptive Robust Design methodology has been adopted to understand how energy transition policies can be designed to be more robust under deep uncertainty for the period of 2019-2050. Subsidy-based policy variants have been created, inspired by promising policy instruments from current policy documents. Static, dynamic and mission-oriented policy variants have been simulated to show effects on annual CO2-eq emissions, renovated houses and awarded subsidies. Adaptive policies have shown to be promising to curb undesired influence of uncertainties. However, this study showed that subsidy percentage, alone, does not ensure that policy targets for 2050 are reached. Policies should also ensure ample increase in renovation capacity to keep up with rising demand. The limitation of merely subsidy-based policies resulted in less significant differences between the policy variants. To benefit of the adaptive nature of the climate plan, policies should include ample adjustment mechanisms within policies to realize their goals by adapting to changing circumstances.

▼ The Netherlands aims to reduce GHG emissions by 95% by 2050 compared to 1990. Hydrogen is seen as a potential energy carrier in the Netherlands by 2050. To what extent hydrogen will be implemented is unknown, because many applications are possible. Hydrogen shows potential for (1) carbon free feedstock for process industry, (2) carbon free energy carrier of high temperature heat in process industry, (3) energy storage and transport capacity to enable renewables, (4) transport, and (5) built environment. The presence of a natural gas grid is a driver for implementation of hydrogen. This research aims to provide concrete roadmaps for hydrogen futures based on earlier studies, to explore the possibilities for hydrogen development. For this study, no new visions are created with workshops, but existing studies are compared and the key takeaways provide the input for visions. To develop actual roadmaps, a backcasting study has been conducted. Backcasting studies normally do not have prior visions. However, in this study backcasting has been implemented to explore concrete changes and actions that are necessary for development of hydrogen to fulfil the visions that resulted from the existing studies. The results of the backcasting analysis are placed in time to form a roadmap for hydrogen visions. Key actors and policy measures are determined to realize the visions. The following results and conclusion can be made. First, hydrogen plays a role in industrial clusters in the Netherlands. Potential for future hydrogen markets strongly depends on the further development of the energy system and alternatives in the different sectors. Electrolysis and SMR with CCS to some extent are production methods to make hydrogen production cleaner. Depending on new markets, more stakeholders will become involved in the current hydrogen system. Based on existing visions and scenarios, three visions have been constructed. The constructed visions are based on hydrogen as secondary energy carrier and hydrogen as primary energy carrier. Often hydrogen is compared to electricity. Vision 1: All electric. Vision 1 describes a system where electricity is used as the primary energy source. Hydrogen plays an important role in flexibility of the energy system. Electrolysis has to be scaled to provide flexibility. Vision 2: One integrated system. Vision 2 describes a system where hydrogen and electricity are integrated. Hydrogen is implemented in built environment, industry for high temperature heating, heavy vehicle transport and inland navigation. Vision 3: Go hydrogen. Vision 3 describes a system where hydrogen is implemented to its full potential. Every action is to enable a large hydrogen economy in 2050. For further research, the approach of vision comparison could be further developed. Second, combining models with pathways studies may provide a better insight in the bottlenecks between technical possibilities and realisation of the vision. Third, workshops could be conducted for a similar study to gain more detailed insights on roadmapping…

▼ The current energy infrastructure, energy policy, and the business environment are designed to support the conventional power system. Hence, it is crucial to create a conducive business environment to accelerate the deployment and power generation through solar PV and wind power. This research has adapted the theory of the business environment and developed a framework to represent and map the national business environment of renewable energy by incorporating the factors such as the national political will for the adoption of renewable energy (RE), renewable energy policy and regulatory environment, economic incentives for renewable energy, industrial growth, technological preparedness for high share integration of variable renewable energy, and interactions among these factors. The framework is applied on the power sector of the top-7 countries emitting countries responsible for 29% of the global emissions, which are China, the USA, India, Russia, Japan, Germany, and South Korea. The results suggest that the political will and technological preparedness have the most substantial influence on the growth of the renewable energy industry, and due to the presence of market failures, economic incentives and the market forces are not sufficient to drive the growth of renewable energy. The Regulatory Indicators for Sustainable Energy (RISE) by the World Bank are inefficient in capturing the economic incentives for renewable energy and in explaining the effectiveness of the adopted renewable energy policy. The overall status of the renewable energy business environment of the countries mentioned above are presented and discussed, followed by recommendations to improve the renewable energy business environment. This research contributes by developing a new adapted theory and a better understanding of the RE business environment, presents a novel framework, which is scalable, and may be implemented to an extended set of countries.

▼ In order to limit global warming to well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial temperatures, a lot still needs to happen. Carbon free hydrogen as an energy carrier can significantly reduce the CO
2 emissions of the entire energy system. In this report, a concept for a spatially efficient, initial hydrogen corridor in the European Union is proposed. The corridor links up areas with high hydrogen consumption to regions with great hydrogen production potential. The spatial distribution of hydrogen demand in a bottom-up scenario was determined first. With this information an optimal hydrogen corridor was composed and subsequently the consumption potential for this corridor was estimated. Finally a hydrogen system was designed with plans for production, transmission and storage. The areas that make up the corridor, going from the Sahara to the North of England, have a combined surface area of only 7% of the EU total. The proposed corridor currently consumes 50% of the total hydrogen consumption in the EU. In 2050 the corridor will consume an estimated 33% of the EU total. In an ambitious scenario, the proposed system is designed to produce and transport almost 31 million tons of hydrogen, or about 1200 TWh, to the corridor. About 35% of the hydrogen is produced in the EU, mainly on the North-Sea, and the rest in the Sahara desert. The hydrogen is distributed among the corridor by identifying 7800 kilometers of existing natural gas infrastructure. The estimated levelised cost of hydrogen transmission amount to 0.12 € per kilogram. Next to that more than enough hydrogen storage potential is available in the vicinity of the infrastructure using already existing rock-salt caverns. Although the project presented in this research may be of large scale and bring severe challenges, the positive environmental consequences are potentially even greater. The EU has the bold ambition to make Europe the first climate neutral continent on the planet and this hydrogen corridor can very significantly contribute to this ambition. Furthermore the EU currently has the political and economic power, as well as the required knowledge, to take a leading role in the development of hydrogen
technology. A leading role that may turn out to be very profitable because hydrogen, with its versatility and undeniable strength to decarbonise entire energy systems, will undoubtedly be used by the rest of the world.

▼ In the present global scenario of a fossil fuel based economy, excessive use of non- renewable resources, such as petroleum, coal and natural gas has resulted in global warming, extreme weather events, and biodiversity loss. Therefore, the need for social, environmental and economic change is still dominant around the world and many places including the Netherlands, are proposing different alternatives to mitigate the increasing anthropogenic impact. Our Oceans with thermal energy basins covering more than 70% of our planet’s surface are noticeably the largest solar collector. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) technology provides the means of harvesting this vast potential to offer a steady baseline power generation for coastal cities and regions where most of the World’s population is currently living. Nonetheless, since the nature of OTEC resources depends significantly on location-based indicators, an explicit focus has been put on this study towards the collection and examination of spatial information. Nevertheless, cold water availability in 1 km depth, constraints the total amount of electricity that could be extracted by OTEC operations. For this reason, an advanced analysis below is performed which redefines the magnitude of the resources for the development of a realistic OTEC deployment scenario which can still cover the entire electricity demand of the world. In total, the Offshore and Onshore OTEC power produce can reach up to 4.4 TW with a deep seawater flow rate of wcw=175 m/yr without causing any thermal disruptions in the ocean. Therefore, countries such as Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Dominica, Mozambique, U.S., Indonesia, etc that have a great abundance of OTEC resources, could even exchange this power produce through a symbiotic relationship to uplift their economy andmake a step closer towards the forthcoming renewable energy transition.

▼ In this thesis the goal is to determine the mitigation potential, below 100$ per ton of CO
2e, of nine climate mitigation measures in 2030 for the G20 and world regions across six sectors. The mitigation potentials for these measures was determined using a bottom-up approach utilizing recent literature, and where needed by up-scaling found results along assumed variables. The determined mitigation potentials are compared with the emissions gaps between a current policy scenario and scenarios limiting temperature rise below 1.5 and 2 degrees compared to pre-industrial levels. These emission gaps are estimated to be 18-22 GtCO
2e, and 24-27 GtCO
2e, respectively. Further, the found mitigation potentials are compared with the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to the Paris climate accord of the G20 member states. It was found that the global mitigation potential for the nine treated measures in 2030 is 19-27 GtCO
2e. Subsequently, it is concluded that the emission gaps can both be closed if the mitigation potentials for the nine measures are realized, and that the NDCsof the G20 countries can be achieved in 2030 by a large margin. Finally, it is concluded that the G20 has a mitigation potential of 14.4-20 GtCO
2e in 2030 and thus has a significant share in the envisioned mitigation potential.

▼ The present research applied a mixed approach for increasing the energy performance of retail spaces by setting new specific energy consumption targets and identifying what measures can be implemented at the building level to achieve the most energy gains. Energy benchmarking, a common practice of evaluating the building performance has been used to relate the values of the efficiency index of similar buildings and set new ones. In order to assess how the new specific energy consumption targets can be achieved, energy modelling has been performed to identify measures that can be integrated at the building level, and are directed toward the highest energy intensive areas within building operations. In the process, a selection of 47 retail spaces has been used, with an efficiency index related to the floor areas that have annual values between 48 kWh/m2 and 383 kWh/m2. Performing energy benchmarking, the weight of these values has been assessed, in relation to a selection of multiple energy markers that are best performers from various dimensions. Building simulations on store operating parameters indicated the importance of energy saving measures, such as ventilation control systems, as there is a spike registered in energy consumption if ventilation rates do not match the building occupancy levels. As the local hot climate conditions have been found to have a significant influence on the building energy performance, the building design has been assessed to identify weak areas responsible for heat gains and in consequence of an increased need for cooling. The research found that for “big-box” retailers the roof is the building component that can be used to decrease the cooling load. Energy savings have been registered for passive cooling techniques using radiative processes for existing locations, while sustainable building design, can update the standard flat roof and provide further functions such as increase daylight access and energy production. For the facilities where the energy consumption has been calculated, the results indicate lower annual energy consumption values compared to the actual energy use. Furthermore, when evaluating the actual energy consumption and the best practice targets set of each particular climate, it can be observed that energy savings can be achieved, with values with average savings of 32%. Connecting the findings of the two steps, a comprehensive list of recommendations has been created, with measures for non-food retail space operation, aimed at increasing the annual energy performance of this building type. The recommendations cover key aspects of operating the building at optimum energy levels, and the proposed measures are directed toward energy efficiency technologies and energy management practices. It is noted that a high level of actions is focused towards the staff and their behaviour, as the building occupants are a key factor in achieving good levels of energy performance. The recommendations are directed towards proper management of equipment and correct or…

▼ Abstract This thesis describes the energy flows and environmental improvement possibilities of the Amsterdam metropolitan area (AMA), using district heating as thermal energy supply system. Main challenges to over come are finding appropriate thermal supply systems that can serve the required heat wile increasing the overall sustainability. The research presents the environmental improvements and reviews design parameters of different technologies proposed. Results showed that different heat supply configurations can lead to sustainable improvements, mainly reducing the environmental impact concerning abiotic depletion and global warming potential. An analysis to inventory suitable locations that can be attached to the district heat network (DHN) has been carried out. Locations suited to connect to the DHN differ per methodology applied, but are mainly to be found in or near the larger cities of the AMA.

▼ Improving energy efficiency is marked as one of the key strategies to tackle global warming. Therefore policy makers try to design policies that steer our society towards a more energy efficient way of living. An important target for policy makers is the residential sector. Households use fuel and electricity, to power all sorts of residential technologies and appliances. However, they often do not adopt the most energy efficient technologies available to them. There is no simple answer as to why households do not adopt energy efficiency sufficiently. This is because the adoption of energy efficient technologies can be described as a complex adaptive system. The decision making of households is dependent on complex attitudes, preferences, perceptions and needs. Nevertheless, policy makers try to influence the adoption decisions of households through the use of multiple policy measures. Academics have developed an interest in the potential effects of intermediary parties on the adoption of energy efficient technologies by households. We can specify an intermediary as: a party that is necessary for the adoption of energy efficient technologies, but cannot accomplish energy efficiency by itself. In this thesis project policies that include the role of the intermediary in residential technology adoption are compared to other energy efficiency policies by means of an agent-based model. Recommendations on future agent-based models on the role of the intermediary and efficiency policies are made.

▼ National and international attention, both academic and otherwise, to local climate actions and policy usually focuses on large/mega-cities. However, given current progress, this represents an oversight when approaching the energy transition – in particular, due to the large proportion of the urban population living in cities smaller than 500,000 people. As a result, the main question of this study is: What are good practices for Dutch SMCs with populations between 50,000-250,000 and are there demonstrable effects linking them to achieving climate targets? In this thesis, I analyzed good practices to achieve climate mitigation targets from 13 Dutch municipalities and assessed what correlations are possible linking good practice to emissions reductions using both quantitative and qualitative indicators. I found that there are several good practices available to local governments implemented. Furthermore, the governance mode of these good practices reflected mainly ‘governing by enabling’, however it was found that within municipal climate documents that other forms of governance were also prevalent and widely used. Finally, it was found that current monitoring data is insufficient to link those implemented good practices to municipal emissions reductions.

▼ The European Union through its Roadmap 2050 has mandated nearly zero energy as the standard for all building stock. While newly built buildings will be of nearly zero energy standard by 31 December 2020 (public-owned buildings after 31 December 2018), new buildings form only 1% of the addition to the existing building stock which implies that to attain nearly zero energy standard for all building stock, large-scale renovations must be performed. However, the renovation to the nearly zero energy standard is not yet cost optimal. To improve the economic feasibility, it is important to find the parameters that have an impact on the cost-optimality of nearly zero energy renovations and the extent of their impact, the results of which can be used to drive the renovation to the nearly zero energy standard in an economically feasible manner. The primary objective of this thesis is the identification of the most important drivers of the economic feasibility of renovating houses in The Netherlands to nearly zero energy standard. The parameters were deduced from a framework available in the literature. The extent of influence was determined by performing partial sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo analysis. Five key parameters had an impact on the NPV- energy price, energy consumption (presented as four separate sub-parameters: electricity and gas consumption both before and after renovation), renovation cost, project life cycle and discount rate. In absolute terms, gas consumption before renovation had the highest impact followed by, renovation cost, electricity consumption after renovation, discount rate, a shift of energy price to the low price scenario, life cycle of the project and electricity consumption before renovation. The gas consumption after renovation and the shift of energy price to the high prices scenario did not have a significant effect on the NPV. The most important drivers of economic feasibility of nearly zero energy renovations are reduction in the renovation cost, discounting the benefits at a lower (social) discount rate until the end of the service life of the house, increasing the retail price of natural gas, decreasing the retail price of electricity and regulation of user behavior in reducing rebound effect (the reduction in the expected energy savings primarily due to occupant’s behavior such as requirement of further comfort). Based on the obtained results, policy recommendations were provided to the Government. Suggestions for further studies include listing all parameters and determining their effect on the NPV, identifying the complete list of indirect benefits that accrue to the citizens of The Netherlands and their valuation using contingent valuation techniques, and performing a cost benefit analysis at the macroeconomic level which will not only consider wider benefits such as infrastructure savings, but also reflect the true value of indirect benefits through reduced externalities and improvement in the productivity of the people on the economy.

▼ Texel has signed a shared ambition manifesto together with the other Dutch Wadden Islands, which states that they desire to reach full self-succiciency in terms of water and (renewable) energy by 2020. It is safe to assume that neither of these ambitions will be reached in time on Texel. Because technical limitations are not necessarily the reason for this, the question why is studied through theories of governance of change. This thesis has two goals. The first goal is to create an analytical framework to analyze processes of governance of change in socio-technical systems. The second is to apply this framework on the socio-technical energy- and water systems on Texel in order to learn about how the governance of change has contributed to the current state of these systems, compared to Texel's ambitions. What was learned from Texel is that the successfulness of strategies in the governance of change depends on the nature and context of the system. For example: mobilizing people to found energy cooperation TexelEnergie was successful because the energy market in place allowed an opportunity for such an initiative to work. Secondly, the Texel Core Values could be successfully utilized to shift the direction of change from windmills and bio- fermentation to solar energy and energy savings, because the decentralized nature of the system allowed social actors to guide change on their own terms, based on the cultural values of Texel. In contrast, in the water system these strategies would not work because the drinking water market is closed and regulated by governmental actors, meaning that there is no opportunity present for societal actors to mobilize and start producing their own drinking water. In that regard, legitimacy for change is absent since they depend on the support of drinking water company PWN, which is merely concerned with providing a reliable drinking water infrastructure and is legally bound to provide this in the most cost-effective and safe way possible. Hence, they are not interested in changing the existing centralized drinking water system towards a system where drinking water is produced on the island, simply because it is desired by Texel. This thesis covered a dual case study where the governance of change in the socio-technical energy and water systems on Texel was analyzed. Generalization from single case studies is a controversial topic and requires extrapolation that can never be fully justified because findings are always embedded within a context. In this study, the findings from the previous section are embedded in a specific context that is unique to Texel. Because of this it would be premature to express any generalistic and legitimate conclusions about governance of change in socio-technical systems based on the findings of these case studies alone. Such claims warrant similar analysis of other socio-technical systems, preferably also water and energy systems but in different settings (settings here referring to different locations or communities). This is proposed as…

▼ The transition towards a sustainable energy system in the built environment is commonly referred to the incremental adoption of a variety of available technologies, practices and policies that may contribute to decrease the environmental impact, at reasonable costs and adequate quality standards. The complexity of the transition requires a sound information provision in order to make decisions which are future proof and optimal in the context of the system dependencies by both public and private parties. This information provision is lacking maturity, and in the era of Big and Open Data, it is believed that data has a significant role to play in the improvement of the information provision towards all stakeholders. This paper presents a study on the information provision in the Dutch energy transition with the focus on the thermal urban transition away from natural-gas. The study adopts the DE approach to answer the following research question: How and under which Data Ecosystem can Open and Big Data be utilized to improve the information provision and support decision-making in the transition towards a sustainable urban thermal energy system, in the Netherlands, given the perceptions and resources of stakeholders?

▼ This research aims to provide a method for large-scale commercial electricity consumers to procure towards 100% hourly matched renewable electricity. A problem with the current electricity balancing system is that the energy produced by Variable Renewable Energy sources (VRES), such as wind and solar PV, has a weather-dependent production profile and is thus non-controllable and intermittent. The balance between the total energy demand of the large-scale electricity (LSE) consumer and the production of electricity from VRES in their contract is only based on a yearly scale and not on an hourly scale. At moments when there is little wind, mainly coal & gas- powered plants need to be dispatched to secure uninterrupted power supply. Procurement of renewable energy is realized with the use of Guarantees of origin (GOs). GOs are an instrument that tracks the origin of electricity generated from renewable resources on a yearly basis but does not differentiate in hourly production profile. Therefore, this system will not be able to address the challenge of balancing VRES and demand on an hourly scale. In the future, with the ambition of moving towards substantially higher proportion of RES, the balancing on hourly base is needed to decrease the dependency on the conventional plants as backup. Therefore, with the current setup with yearly tracked RES, companies are limited in their role in the energy transition. This research aims to provide a novel method for large-scale commercial electricity consumers to procure towards 100% hourly matched renewable electricity. In this thesis, a techno-economic analysis was conducted to examine possible hourly-matched renewable energy portfolio for Dutch LSE consumers. First, an analysis was conducted of the production and storage technologies that could potentially be used for the application of hourly matching. Secondly, a methodology was developed to analyse the match between an LSE consumer’s demand and the production profile. The degree to which these profiles are matched was defined as the green score. The higher the green score, the higher the percentage of the demand that is covered by the portfolio on an hourly base. The demand profile is kept consistent, and a comparison is made of scenarios of different portfolios containing production and storage technologies. Third, using a Levelised Cost of Portfolio (LCOP) the cost per MWh for the whole portfolio is compared for different scenario’s. This study shows that the hourly match measured using the percentage green score can be significantly increased by adapting the LSE consumer portfolio, however a 100% hourly match is not shown. Much of the research to date has focused on national-scale scenarios, but only provides limited incentives and insights into the role that large companies can play. This study provides a tool which is suitable to perform a techno-economic analysis to increase the hourly match of LSE consumers using various electricity production and electrical energy storage technologies. The insights found on the…

▼ In this research study, a backcasting analysis has been conducted on the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago with the aim of establishing a sustainable energy supply by the year 2040. Quist backcasting framework, due to it's flexible nature has been used as the main skeleton for this research. As a part of the study, 8 islands with significant populations have been chosen from within the archipelago. The current energy system in the islands is largely characterized by both technical and economic inefficiencies. The island largely relies on diesel for it's power supply. The underdeveloped nature of the economy in the archipelago, especially in the rural areas, enables the usage of large amounts of traditional fuels such as firewood and crop residue for their daily energy needs. As a part of the backcasting analysis, the desired future energy system has been envisioned for the islands and a modelling exercise has been performed to optimize the sizing of the energy sources in the future system using levelized cost of electricity as a parameter. These optimized sizings have found to be largely dependent upon the learning rates and the future costs of technologies. Transitional pathways for each of the islands have been drafted to materialize these visions. It has been observed that large amounts of infrastructure upgradation and a strong policy framework are the main interventions necessary. In order to facilitate a transition in the rural areas, drafting a separate rural energy policy would be advisable. Overall, this thesis succeeds in blending a wide range of topics into the backcasting framework and uses it well to draw tangible transitional pathways.

▼ <b>What are the national and provincial economic potentials of ocean thermal energy conversion in relation to the provincial electricity demand fulfilment in Indonesia?</b> When we are talking about the economic potential of OTEC in Indonesia, we are talking about potential as a result of different possible configurations. On the national level, the economic potentials of both cost assumptions are more than enough to fulfil the total electricity demand of the country. However, Indonesia seizes an immensely broad area of land and sea. A big part of the potential lies outside the provincial boundaries, far away from demand centres. Still, when only the provincial potentials are considered, the total economic potential is higher than the demand. This does not necessarily mean that the available resource is accessible by the demand centres, though. The available resources of OTEC are not distributed evenly throughout the country. Some areas are blessed with remarkably good resources in abundance while the other areas are not so lucky with the resources. Hence, the stations are selected based on the proximity to the demand centres. It turns out that based on the results of the thesis, it is not possible to fully supply the electricity demand on the provincial level in Indonesia solely by OTEC electricity production of the selected stations. It is indeed possible for some areas to do that, but in other areas, there is no economic potential at all. However, it is not likely that a single resource will ever be used to cover 100% of supply. In this sense, there is a huge opportunity for OTEC to enter the energy landscape and become the provider of baseload electricity

▼ Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) technology development is currently in the gap between academia and commercialization. To bridge this gap, all stakeholders that influence the development must perform optimally. This thesis presents the performance of OTEC developing stakeholder groups (‘clusters’) in Japan, the Netherlands, France, USA and Malaysia and recommendations for improvement. Interviews with the main OTEC developing organizations gave input for a technological innovation system analysis which is used to determine the performance of each cluster. Four structural elements are used to define the current state of OTEC in each innovation system and seven functional elements are used to systematically study activities and events that influence the technology development and commercialization. A cross-case analysis is used to find industry-wide trends. The cluster around Naval Energies and Akuo Energy in France and the cluster of OTE Corporation and Makai Ocean Engineering both perform well on most of the investigated elements. The performance of the Dutch cluster suffers somewhat from the small scale of its main OTEC developing actor, Bluerise. The Japanese cluster performs very well on research related aspects although limited commercialization efforts can negatively influence further technology diffusion. Malaysia lacks essential actors for technology development and should therefore not be defined as an OTEC cluster. Two influences external from the industry were found to affect OTEC development negatively. Firstly, current support mechanisms for emerging (renewable energy) technologies are not suitable for technologies that require high upfront investments due to focus on production subsidies instead of upfront grants or guarantees. Secondly, OTEC is not included in renewable energy development plans from governments, which negatively influences the confidence in the technology of industry and investors and creates uncertainty in the market.

▼ Hydrogen, as a fuel, will soon play a key role in helping economies transition to more sustainable practices. Having always garnered attention due to its non-polluting nature, the costs associated with its production have stood in the way of it being more widely used in society. Since the cost of clean energy to produce hydrogen is one of the main reasons the current price is so high, locations with a high renewable potential are being looked at as a means to drive production prices down, benefiting from higher capacity factors at these locations. With near ideal offshore wind resources, the North Sea is one such location. This thesis aims to explore the potential of this resource to deliver future hydrogen and to a larger extent, EU TFEC demand in 2050. The main research question therefore asks: “What is the future potential of P2H in the North Sea , from a spatially explicit, techno-economic perspective” The analysis first explored the cost of different production configurations, mainly comparing the production of hydrogen onshore (via electricity transmitted over HVDC- high voltage direct current cables), offshore (after transmitting to shore via a pipeline) and in offshore wind turbines (again, after transmission to shore in a network of pipelines). The analysis then used GIS data to analyze the production potential in the North Sea by taking exclusion zones into account. A mapping model was therefore developed to estimate theoretical and practical yield potentials in steps of 5 years, until 2050. Supply curves and maps were then generated to paint a picture of P2H supply pathways in the North Sea. One of the designated research goals in the thesis was to offer a comparative analysis between the three P2H configuration types, mentioned above. The results show a clear preference in favor of the In Turbine configuration which is followed by the offshore configuration and finally the onshore type. The hierarchy was mainly influenced by the conversion chain losses in the three configurations, with the In Turbine configuration having the lowest losses, followed by the offshore and then the onshore types. Model results show a higher sensitivity to sea depth than transmission distance to shore for all three configuration types up till the fixed to floating transition point, after which the sensitivity to depth is reduced. The In Turbine and offshore configurations were however, predictably less sensitive to transmission distance than the onshore configuration since H2 pipeline investment costs for large delivery capacities are almost negligible in comparison to HVDC electricity transportation. Fishing zones, shipping zones, nature conservation zones and current wind farms were considered as exclusionary constraints in the model. This was done to test the influence of maritime spatial planning on both yield and costs in the North Sea. The total restricted and unrestricted yield potentials from the in-turbine configuration with the least losses were 15.8 and 24.18 EJ respectively. This represents 47% and 72% of EU total…

▼ As the transition to a low-carbon economy is imminent in the view of global warming and climate change, there comes a need to identify energy carriers that can completely or partially replace fossil fuels that are used today. Green hydrogen in this respect has been proposed and researched into as a possible replacement for currently used fossil fuels. Despite hydrogen being a relatively cleaner source of energy and a good energy storage medium, the transportation and storage of hydrogen acts as a barrier for the large-scale implementation of a hydrogen economy. The low density of hydrogen requires it to be compressed to high pressures or liquefied to transport and store it while the explosive nature makes it difficult to handle hydrogen. These drawbacks open up opportunities for other hydrogen energy carriers to be considered instead of hydrogen. The aim of this thesis is to identify bottlenecks in the supply chain of hydrogen and hydrogen energy carriers which include production, storage, transportation, imports and reforming of the energy carriers. The hydrogen energy carriers that have been shortlisted other than hydrogen include ammonia, methanol, dimethyl ether and synthetic methane while the transport modes considered include road transport, maritime shipping and pipeline transport. The Netherlands is chosen as a case study taking into account the demand for hydrogen across the six industrial clusters for the year 2050. The demand for hydrogen includes hydrogen for energy and for feedstock which resulted in a total demand of 444 PJ for the year 2050. Hydrogen production which also serves as a starting point for the production of the other energy carriers, is based on the predicted 15 GW surplus offshore wind energy available in the Netherlands from the North Sea wind farms by the year 2050. Considering the supply and demand, the supply chain of each energy carrier within the three transport modes are modelled resulting in the estimation of the energy efficiency and the system costs. Further, region specific costs are estimated to identify what factors affect the costs of delivering the energy carriers to the different regions in the Netherlands. The results indicate that pipeline transport was the most economical transport mode followed closely by liquid road transport. Compressed road transport was not as attractive, as the high transport pressures resulted in high loading and unloading costs and lower system efficiencies. Hydrogen pipelines was the most economical energy carrier and transport mode followed by liquid hydrogen road transport and ammonia pipeline. Transporting synthetic methane was the most expensive energy carrier across all transport modes while methanol and DME had very similar system costs. The production and import costs were the two main factors determining the system costs while transport costs had an vital impact only in the case of compressed road transport.

▼ There is growing consensus around the world for the need to transition to a more sustainable society. This is transition is currently being led by making the energy sector more sustainable by shifting to renewable energy sources from fossil fuel sources at a steady pace. However, there seems to be increasing recognition that the steady pace may not be fast enough. Therefore, there are many cities, countries, organizations that are coming out in support of a 100% renewable energy transition. There is sufficient attention given to this the endeavour of transitioning in developed nations and major developing nations. However, Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have historically lagged behind in proceeding with this transition even though they are arguably going to be the most severely affected by the inaction. Majority of SIDS energy comes from imported oil products. As we speak there are islands disappearing because of sea level rise. That said islands present an interesting geographical scope to analyse for an energy transition because of their unique challenges. These challenges stem from their isolated location and small size; which leads to high energy prices, lack of economy of scale and this is worsened by their potential vulnerability to environmental catastrophes. In recent years, however, there has been more attention given to SIDS and their issues. This is marked by Fiji being the President of COP23, and the COP23 paying special attention to SIDS. Following this recent surge in attention, many islands have set ambitious targets to pursue for the transition yet their execution has been bleak. It is astonishing that even though islands have the most renewable energy potential they have made limited progress, literature very widely states that the lack of economy of scale, technical knowledge and expertise, political will and lack of human capacity are leading causes and all of this leads to a larger risk perception leading to lack of investments. However the literature on islands transitioning is concentrated on either on a combination of technological, economical or societal issues and is geographically concentrated on the Pacific and Mediterranean islands.

▼ reement, adopted by virtually all 195 countries of the United Nations, is a binding deal with targets to keep global warming of the earth beneath 2∘C, and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 by at least 80% compared to 1990. These targets require significant reductions in energy consumption and switch to carbon free renewable energy sources. Changing to renewable energy sources brings several complications to the electricity system. Supply and demand of electricity need to match at any time. The intermittent nature of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, requires energy storage and need to be balanced with dispatchable power generation. Passenger cars could offer dispatchable power as they are parked for 95% of the time. Especially fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) connected to the grid could offer this service in a clean and efficient way. Could parked and unused grid connected FCEVs replace the positive dispatchable power plants to balance 100% renewable energy systems? This research investigates how future 100% renewable national electricity, heating and transport systems can be balanced with the use of hydrogen production and storage, and grid connected FCEVs. A model is developed that simulates the future energy systems of Germany, France, Spain, Great Britain, Denmark and Belgium. The energy systems include electricity generation and consumption, road transport, hot water and space heating. Road transport vehicles are battery electric vehicles (BEVs), FCEVs or a combination of both. Electricity and hydrogen are the only energy carriers. Electricity is mainly supplied by solar and wind power. Hot water and space heating is mainly supplied by solar thermal energy and electric heat pumps. Electricity generation and consumption profiles and temperature data of 2014, 2015 and 2016 serve as inputs. The future 100% renewable energy scenarios are based on scenarios published by government agencies, research institutions or transmission system operators. Demand response heating (DRH) is analysed and applied to all cases. Interconnecting the electricity grids of Germany and France is also investigated. Hydrogen production and grid connected FCEVs can balance national electricity grids. Electrolysers can act as negative balancing power consuming excess electricity of intermittent renewable energy sources to produce hydrogen. Roughly 0.4-0.6 GW of electrolyser capacity is required to balance 1 GW of renewables in the investigated countries. This requirement can be lower when curtailment is applied and the installed capacity of renewables is slightly increased. Hydrogen can be stored locally in high pressure storage tanks or at large scale in underground salt caverns. A typical salt cavern can store around 6 million kg of working gas. Per TWh of final energy consumption approximately 1-2.5 million kg of hydrogen storage capacity is required. Conventional positive balancing plants such as gas turbines could be replaced by FCEVs connected to the electricity grid. Peak backup demands can be…
