Can we get 100% of our energy from renewable sources? Delft Professor of Energy Systems Analysis Kornelis Blok is in the middle of a big scientific argument raging right now.
Land-ice loss from West Antarctica has tripled over the last decade, we heard last week. A new study in Science this week shows that the measured ice-loss was actually 10% short. But there is good news too.
On average, the Dutch non-profit housing stock will have a B energy label by 2021, promises the 2008 Energy Covenant. Instead, a C label is more likely, warns Dr Faidra Filippidou of the TU Delft Faculty of Architecture and Built Environment, OTB.
