The success of the energy transition will depend not only on the rapid deployment of zeroemission technologies, but also on the expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydrogen. Equally important is meaningful engagement with the communities affected by this transition. Despite …

The Netherlands is undergoing a massive (re)construction challenge. In addition to building new housing, a substantial part of the existing building stock of housing corporations is undergoing renovation. This renovation challenge has varying interactions with the energy transition, testified by the …

At the macro level, the Netherlands has become an agricultural giant thanks to its efficient, intensive farming practices. At the micro level, farmers are under pressure to make ever-larger investments and focus heavily on improving operational efficiency. This has led to a series of business decisions, …

This study compares three farm-scale biogas utilization pathways—combined heat and power (CHP), biogas upgrading, and bio-methanation—using process simulation and life cycle assessment to identify the most suitable option for on-farm application. Bio-methanation showed the highest practical energy efficiency, …

Building energy performance is largely determined during the early conceptual design stages. However, energy evaluation is often postponed until after key architectural decisions—such as massing and façade configuration—have been finalized, limiting opportunities for meaningful optimization. This study …

In dit hoofdstuk verkennen we regionale verschillen in leven lang ontwikkelen. We stellen ons de vraag of regionale verschillen in LLO in Nederland voorkomen en zo ja, hoe deze verschillen zijn te verklaren.

Deze bundel is een vervolg op de LLO Monitor 2024, maar niet een tweede versie. Ons doel is nu niet in de eerste plaats om de voortgang van Leven Lang Ontwikkelen in de regio (nog eens) te peilen. In de afgelopen jaren is ons gebleken dat de kennisinstellingen zelf heel verschillend met het thema Leven …

Business model innovation (BMI) in smart industry contexts requires tools that simultaneously provide analytical rigor for modeling multi-actor value networks and collaborative engagement for facilitating cross-organizational innovation. Current BMI tools force practitioners to choose: ontology-based …
