Managing energy intensity could be a make-or-break factor in sustainability transitions. Successful decarbonisation needs more than the right energy mix. A new study by the LOCOMOTION project suggests it also requires a sound policy mix combining energy efficiency,...
Accelerating towards zero-emission mobility could lead to the depletion of materials such as copper, cobalt and lithium within 30 years or sooner. For net-zero mobility, technological innovation is not enough: we need to rethink our travels, and the benefits could...
The past few years have turned the EU’s perception of raw materials on its head. The seeming stability turned into lingering insecurity. Amid global tensions, ruthless war at its borders, and price spikes, the EU needs to secure the necessary supply of materials for...
Electrification is a necessary step towards sustainable mobility. However, it has never been sufficient. Mobility in the twenty-first century will necessitate more than simply switching to a cleaner energy source. By Andreas Budiman Decarbonising transport takes vast...
From January 31st to February 2nd, took place the LOCOMOTION project modelling workshop in Bilbao (Spain). Hosted by BC3, the modelling workshop helped to advance in the pending tasks for the construction of the WILIAM model, emphasizing the interconnections between...
EU plans to expand renewables will reshape land uses in Europe, and this may trigger conflict. Decision-makers must develop strategic spatial planning, through eco-sensitive mapping and community engagement, to ensure the solar and wind revolution does not come at...
