Think Tank: “Reactive or proactive, but always productive"
The TPM Energy Transition Lab has established a ThinkTank to respond both reactively and proactively to issues related to socio-technical aspects of the energy transition. The goal is to productively share the vast amount of state-of-the-art knowledge that TU Delft researchers have about this topic. We aim to do this with a core team of researchers who all have access to a trusted – and easily accessible - network outside the university. The think tank is flexible and can respond rapidly to a broad range of questions about issues that vary from policy-making, regulation, and system integration to geo-engineering, participatory trajects, and behavioural economics. The think tank will also proactively publish op-ed articles, commentaries, columns, blogs, and vlogs.
At this moment, the members of the ThinkTank are (in alphabetical order):
Kenneth Bruninx
Energy systems integration (electricity – heat – hydrogen - …), energy markets, policy & regulation, carbon pricing & emissions trading, system resource adequacy
