Evaluating the Role of Unit Size in Learning-by-Doing of Energy Technologies

Abstract

Bart Sweerts worked as a junior researcher at the Energy Transition department of TNO in the Netherlands, where he focused on energy technology development and implementation. During his studies in Earth Science he (co)-authored two peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading energy journals. Currently, Bart works at Shell, where he focuses on asset optimization. Remko Detz is a scientist at the Energy Transition department of TNO and is a visiting scientist at the Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam. His research focuses on energy technology development starting from the early research phase to the analysis of fully integrated systems within society, with a special emphasis on renewable fuels and materials. He received his PhD in Chemistry in 2009 from the University of Amsterdam. He is a (co-)author of several peer-reviewed articles in leading international scientific journals and contributor to several reports. Bob van der Zwaan is a principal scientist at the Energy Transition department of TNO, Professor of Sustainable Energy Technology at the Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam, and Adjunct Professor of International Relations at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies in Bologna. Trained in physics (Utrecht and CERN), economics (Cambridge), and international relations (Geneva), he has held positions at Columbia, Harvard, and Stanford Universities, has been a lead author for the IPCC, serves as co-director of the International Energy Workshop, and researches energy technology and climate change.
