The Netherlands is undergoing a massive (re)construction challenge. In addition to building new housing, a substantial part of the existing building stock of housing corporations is undergoing renovation. This renovation challenge has varying interactions with the energy transition, testified by the …

At the macro level, the Netherlands has become an agricultural giant thanks to its efficient, intensive farming practices. At the micro level, farmers are under pressure to make ever-larger investments and focus heavily on improving operational efficiency. This has led to a series of business decisions, …

This study compares three farm-scale biogas utilization pathways—combined heat and power (CHP), biogas upgrading, and bio-methanation—using process simulation and life cycle assessment to identify the most suitable option for on-farm application. Bio-methanation showed the highest practical energy efficiency, …

The integration of biomethane into existing gas distribution networks is a key component of the energy transition, but its implementation is often limited by local network constraints. This study investigates the impact of local pressure losses on biomethane injection capacity in a real-world low-pressure …

Ammonia is a major nitrogenous constituent of municipal wastewater and poses environmental challenges when discharged to receiving waters. Conventional biological treatment processes can be limited by operational instability, sensitivity to loading conditions, and greenhouse gas emissions, motivating …

With more emerging technologies for hydrogen storage, it has become more important than ever to properly evaluate different options to ensure technical feasibility and legal compliance. In this study the technical aspects and legal requirements of two main storage technologies: underground gas cylinders …

Background Communicative participation is the most important outcome of speech and language therapy. However, there are no instruments to measure communicative participation in children. This paper focuses on assessing the psychometric properties of MyCommunication-Children, an item bank designed to …

Green hydrogen is increasingly positioned as an important element of Europe's energy transition, particularly for decarbonising sectors that are difficult to electrify directly and for integrating growing shares of renewable electricity. Yet regional hydrogen ecosystems often remain fragmented and immature. …
