Research
Currently, his research main focus is on how to reduce embodied emissions in TU-Delft purchases, this project is led by Prof. dr. K. (Kornelis) Blok and is part of Delft University of Technology’s agenda to reduce its emissions and achieve CO2 neutrality by 2030. Every organization is not only causing greenhouse gas emissions through the use of fuels and electricity but also through the purchase of goods and services (so-called embodied or Scope 3 emissions).
Reducing embodied greenhouse gas emissions. Main objective: The aim of this project is to investigate how such emissions can be reduced substantially. Every organization is not only causing greenhouse gas emissions through the use of fuels and electricity but also through the purchase of goods and services (so-called embodied or Scope 3 emissions).
