In addition he served on numerous national boards and committees, including the board of the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands, the Council on Housing, Physical Planning, and Environment (VROM-raad) of the Netherlands, the General Energy Council (AER) of the Netherlands, the Energy Committee of the Social and Economic Council of the Netherlands (SER), the board of the Dutch research programme on CO2 Capture, Transport and Storage (CATO), the board of the Netherlands' Platform Communication on Climate Change (PCCC), the board of the Dutch Physical Society (NNV), the board of the NGO 'Natuur en Milieu', and the board of the Dutch division of the International Solar Energy Society (ISES-Nederland).
In 1996 he received in the US, at the conference ICCDR-III, the Greenman Award “to honor important contributions toward harnessing technology so that human race can better live in harmony with the environment”, because of his work on CCS (see: IEA GHG Programme). In 2007 he was one of the co-recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the IPCC. In 2013 he became ‘Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion’ (Ridder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw).
