In daily life, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from building heating, cooling and electricity consumption accounts for 47% of the total building carbon dioxide emissions. This makes people pay too much attention to energy conservation and emission reduction, which leads to the neglect of a pleasant …

The indoor air quality (IAQ) in classrooms in higher education can influence in-class activities positively. In this context, the actual IAQ and students' perceived IAQ (PIAQ), perceived cognitive performance (PCP), and short-term academic performance (SAP) were examined in two identical classrooms during …

In 2018 is door de International Maritime Organization (IMO) twee doelen opgenomen in het IMO Greenhouse Gas Strategy. Ten opzichte van 2008 moet in 2030 de koolstofintensiteit tot 40% gereduceerd zijn en in 2050 moet de totale uitstoot van broeikasgassen door de internationale scheepvaart gehalveerd …

By 2050, the world population will have increased to 9 billion (Bongaarts, 2009). This increase will lead to significant growth in waste. Construction is one of the largest raw material users (Bribian et al., 2011), and this sector consumes about 40% of the energy-related CO2 emissions (Dean et al., …

Utilizing a novel recycling route, the panel is lighter, more cost-effective and of recycled thermoplastic composites.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.repl.2020.08.003 (First …

Ammonia is heavily used in agriculture as a fertilizer and in industry as a raw material for the production of various organic nitrogen compounds. Its high hydrogen content and its established infrastructure for both storage and distribution makes ammonia a prominent candidate for storing fluctuating …

The neighborhood of Houtlaan in Assen, the Netherlands, has ambitious targets for reducing the neighborhood’s carbon emissions and increasing their production of their own, sustainable energy. Specifically, they wish to increase the percentage of houses with a heat pump, electric vehicle (EV) and solar …

This paper proposes a Hybrid Microgrid (HμG) model including distributed generation (DG) and a hydrogen-based storage system, controlled through a tailored control strategy. The HμG is composed of three DG units, two of them supplied by solar and wind sources, and the latter one based on the exploitation …

Within BAM Infra (Netherlands) there is a 3D concrete printing facility already. This is the Europe's first commercial and industrial production location for 3D printing of concrete elements for bridges. The idea now for BAM (International) is to also include composite materials in the design of temporary …

The catalytic conversion of oleic acid to aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylenes, BTX) over a granular H-ZSM-5/Al2O3 catalyst (ϕ 1.2–1.8 mm, 10 g loading) was investigated in a continuous bench-scale fixed-bed reactor (10 g oleic acid h–1). A peak carbon yield of aromatics of 27.4% was obtained at …
