For centuries, natural gas has been one of humanity’s main energy sources. The gas sector is still heavily reliant on natural gas production; however, as natural gas fields contain only a finite quantity of gas, its continued extraction is leading to the resource’s depletion. Furthermore, natural gas …

High-pressure anaerobic digestion is an appealing concept since it can upgrade biogas directly within the reactor. However, the decline of pH caused by the dissolution of CO2 is the main barrier that prevents a good operating high-pressure anaerobic digestion process. Therefore, in this study, a high-pressure …

It is of utmost importance to collect organic waste from households as a separate waste stream. If collected separately, it could be used optimally to produce compost and biogas, it would not pollute fractions of materials that can be recovered from residual waste streams and it would not deteriorate …

Power-to-gas technologies are considered to be part of the future energy sys- tem, but their viability and applicability need to be assessed. Therefore, models for the viability of farm-scale bio-power-to-methane supply chains to produce green gas were analysed in terms of levelised cost of energy, energy …

Martien Visser is er klip en klaar over: transport, distributie en opslag van gas is vele malen goedkoper dan van elektriciteit of warmte.

Waste disposal management and the energy crisis are important challenges facing most countries. The fruit-processing industry generates daily several tons of wastes, of which the major share comes from banana farms. Anaerobic digestion (AD) technology has been applied to the treatment of wastewater, …

Overview of Research line 3 in RAAK PRO project "Why Care More" - Professorship of Jan-Peter Nap

In Bhutan biogas energy can be used as an alternative energy for wood to meet the energy demand in the rural populace with effective management and utilisation of the biogas plant. Despite various benefits of biogas technology, biogas adoption has been less than anticipated. As of today, District Livestock …

One potential renewable energy resource is green gas production through anaerobic digestion (AD). However, only part of the biogas produced (up to 50-60%) contains the combustible methane; the remainder are incombustible gasses with the biggest being carbon dioxide. These gasses are often not used and …
