Ruisdael Observatory | Rotterdam

In the coming decade, the Rotterdam area will be subject to large changes in the energy system, such as the phase-out of coal-fired powerplants and increased electrification of transport systems, providing unique opportunities to test sensitivity of an urban observational system to monitor energy transitions towards a low carbon society. At present, 13 basic air quality stations are present in the Rotterdam area (operated by RIVM-DCMR), mostly focusing on inner-city air quality (street stations).
