The understanding of incumbents' behaviour in sustainability transitions in the energy sector is gaining increasing scholarly attention. However, two key structural characteristics of many incumbents in the energy sector are hardly taken into account: they ...
To achieve ecological sustainability, significant and absolute reductions are needed in demand on nature’s services to yield resources and assimilate wastes. Estimates range from a factor of five to ten. This translates to an 80% to 90% reduction in energy ...
Dam construction and large reservoir projects are essential for sustainable economic developments especially in developing countries like Iran. Such big projects, could have major social and environmental impacts. At this point, Environmental Impact Assess ...
In the context of sustainable urban development, methodologies under the banner of sustainability assessment have the potential to contribute to the systematic operationalisation of sustainability as a decision-making strategy. To adequately capture the sy ...
One of the relevant strategies to limit the sprawl of post-industrial European cities is the regeneration of urban brownfields. This type of projects concentrates new development within already urbanized areas and contributes to their revitalization. Despi ...
Hydropower plants are still the most important renewable energy resource worldwide. Hydropower is also the most efficient electricity production and has a very high flexibility in combination with reservoirs. Nevertheless, the construction of hydropower pl ...
The sustainability of biofuel operations encompasses several issues which are key to promoting uptake in a global environment. However, much of the analysis of biofuel production tends to be dominated by life cycle assessment (LCA) for assessing environmen ...
The literature on sustainable business models (SBMs) offers different classifications of the available kinds of SBM. Our careful reading of this literature reveals that the received classifications have developed adhoc from multiple divergent perspectives. ...
Finding ways to understand, analyze, and manage sustainability transitions is a fundamental challenge for sustainability science. In this paper, we show how we can substantially deepen our understanding of factors that determine the success of sustainabili ...
Housing plays a crucial role in the transition towards sustainability. Zero-energy or low-carbon housing solutions are key, but their success depends on their acceptance by the users. We propose a conceptual and an operational framework for understanding h ...
