Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.3.1 Governance of integrated energy systems

Course subject(s) 2. System thinking in the industrial sector

In this video, we will present the importance of governance in integrated energy systems. The sustainable development goals will be introduced, with an emphasis on how they relate to energy transition. We will relate energy transition and circular economy and, we will talk about the European Emissions Trading System, the first emissions trading system worldwide.

Key takeaways:

  • Achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) requires changes at all four system levels; process, product and value chain, organisational and systems changes
  • Technical innovation is directly connected with environmental impacts, economic results and SDGs.
  • The EU emissions trading system (ETS) works with a ‘cap and trade’ system, which results in a market price for the tonne of CO2
