  • LEPT Study Tour Amsterdam, Arnhem, Rotterdam 12-14 May 2019
    Facilitating Electric Vehicle Uptake LEPT study tour Amsterdam, Arnhem, Rotterdam 12-14 May 2019 1 Background Organising the study tour The London European Partnership for Transport (LEPT) has sat within the London Councils Transport and Mobility team since 2006. LEPT’s function is to coordinate, disseminate and help promote the sustainable transport and mobility agenda for London and London boroughs in Europe. LEPT works with the 33 London boroughs and TfL to build upon European knowledge and best practice, helping cities to work together to deliver specific transport policies and initiatives, and providing better value to London. In the context of a wider strategy to deliver cleaner air and reduce the impact of road transport on Londoners’ health, one of London Councils’ pledges to Londoners is the upscaling of infrastructures dedicated to electric vehicles (EVs), to facili- tate their uptake. As part of its mission to support boroughs in delivering this pledge and the Mayor’s Transport Strategy, LEPT organised a study tour in May 2019 to allow borough officers to travel to the Netherlands to understand the factors that led the country’s cities to be among the world leaders in providing EV infrastructure. Eight funded positions were available for borough officers working on electric vehicles to join. Representatives from seven boroughs and one sub-regional partnership joined the tour as well as two officers from LEPT and an officer that worked closely on EV charging infrastructure from the London Councils Transport Policy team (Appendix 1). London boroughs London’s air pollution is shortening lives and improving air quality in the city is a priority for the London boroughs.

  • 1 Abstract: the Ratification of the Maastricht Treaty Caused Significant
    Abstract: The ratification of the Maastricht Treaty caused significant ratification problems for a series of national governments. The product of a new intergovernmental conference, namely the Amsterdam Treaty, has caused fewer problems, as the successful national ratifications have demonstrated. Employing the two-level concept of international bargains, we provide a thorough analysis of these successful ratifications. Drawing on datasets covering the positions of the negotiating national governments and the national political parties we highlight the differences in the Amsterdam ratification procedures in all fifteen European Union members states. This analysis allows us to characterize the varying ratification difficulties in each state from a comparative perspective. Moreover, the empirical analysis shows that member states excluded half of the Amsterdam bargaining issues to secure a smooth ratification. Issue subtraction can be explained by the extent to which the negotiators were constrained by domestics interests, since member states with higher domestic ratification constraints performed better in eliminating uncomfortable issues at Intergovernmental Conferences. 1 Simon Hug, Department of Government ; University of Texas at Austin ; Burdine 564 ; Austin TX 78712-1087; USA; Fax: ++ 1 512 471 1067; Phone: ++ 1 512 232 7273; email: [email protected] Thomas König, Department of Politics and Management; University of Konstanz; Universitätsstrasse 10; D-78457 Konstanz; Fax: ++ 49 (0) 7531 88-4103; Phone: ++ (0) 7531 88-2611; email: [email protected]. 2 (First version: August 2, 1999, this version: December 4, 2000) Number of words: 13086 3 An earlier version of this paper was prepared for presentation at the Annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Atlanta, September 2-5, 1999.

  • A Geological History of Groningen's Subsurface
    A geological history of Groningen’s subsurface Erik Meijles, University of Groningen Date June 2015 Editors Jan van Elk & Dirk Doornhof Translated by E.L. Howard General introduction Ground acceleration caused by an induced earthquake is strongly dependent on the composition of local shallow soils. NAM commissioned Deltares to conduct a detailed survey of the shallow subsurface above the Groningen gas field. The survey focuses on Quaternary geology with an emphasis on the upper 50 metres. This report provides an introduction to Groningen’s Quaternary geology as a background to the comprehensive Deltares report, which has culminated in a detailed model of Groningen’s shallow subsurface. This report was written by Dr ir Erik Meijles, Assistant Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Groningen. Wim Dubelaar, Dr Jan Stafleu and Dr Wim Westerhoff of TNO Geological Survey of the Netherlands (TNO- NITG) in Utrecht assisted with editing this report and provided a number of key diagrams.

  • Title: Study Visit Energy Transition in Arnhem Nijmegen City Region And
    Title: Study Visit Energy Transition in Arnhem Nijmegen City Region and the Cleantech Region Together with the Province of Gelderland and the AER, ERRIN Members Arnhem Nijmegen City Region and the Cleantech Region are organising a study visit on the energy transition in Gelderland (NL) to share and learn from each other’s experiences. Originally, the study visit was planned for October 31st-November 2nd 2017 but has now been rescheduled for April 17-19 2018. All ERRIN members are invited to participate and can find the new programme and registration form online. In order to ensure that as many regions benefit as possible, we kindly ask that delegations are limited to a maximum of 3 persons per region since there is a maximum of 20 spots available for the whole visit. Multistakeholder collaboration The main focus of the study visit, which will be organised in cooperation with other interregional networks, will be the Gelders’ Energy agreement (GEA). This collaboration between local and regional industries, governments and NGOs’ in the province of Gelderland, Netherlands, has pledged for the province to become energy-neutral by 2050. It facilitates a co-creative process where initiatives, actors, and energy are integrated into society. a A bottom-up approach The unique nature of the GEA resides in its origin. The initiative sprouted from society when it faced the complex, intricate problems of the energy transition. The three initiators were GNMF, the Gelders’ environmental protection association, het Klimaatverbond, a national climate association and Alliander, an energy network company. While the provincial government endorses the project, it is not a top-down initiative.

  • Main Results Test with Hydrogen Train in Groningen
    MAIN RESULTS TEST WITH HYDROGEN TRAIN IN GRONINGEN CONTENTS Main Results of the Hydrogen Train Test in Groningen Result of test with hydrogen train in Groningen .......................................................4 The Test Dispensation .................................6 The Trial Runs ................................................7 The Refueling Process ..............................17 Press- and Public Information Day ........21 RESULT OF TEST WITH HYDROGEN TRAIN IN GRONINGEN At the start of 2020, after a long preparation period of as much as one and a half year, the Province of Groningen, together with various partners, did a feasibility study in the form of a pilot test with a hydrogen (battery) train (running on green hydrogen) to explore whether this could be a full-fledged sustainable alternative to the current diesel trains. The Province of Groningen sees an important role for green hydrogen • For greening the chemical sector (raw material). • As a fuel in heavy mobility (buses, trains, trucks, ships, aircraft). • As an essential piece of the puzzle regarding energy transition (storage, transportation). • This will also create new economic opportunities and employment. Pilot The trial runs were done on the track between Groningen and Leeuwarden during nighttime for a period of two weeks, with a passenger train running on green hydrogen. During the tests, the train ran a number of times at normal speed – without passengers – alternately as an intercity- and a local train – between the stations of Groningen and Leeuwarden. By these trial runs, practical experience was gained in running on hydrogen. This was the first time a train ran on hydrogen in the Netherlands. The tests focused on, among other things, the actual running, fuel consumption, and refueling.
