Self-organized industrial symbiosis (IS) starts with one actor's decision to invest in a waste recovery plant and the other actors' decision to buy the recovered flow. Technical and institutional conditions of the cluster influence actors' decisions. This paper explores the emergence of IS collaborations …

Presentatie voor bewoners van Zuidwolde (Groningen) om hen te informeren over opties voor duurzame installaties die toegepast kunnen worden voordat het lage temperatuur warmtenet wordt aangelegd.

For this research the main objective is to understand the effect fire would have on biocrete, as well as optimizing the amount of Miscanthus fibres into the mixture to make biocrete that is still strong enough for internal walls, as well as sub-research objectives that will be researched and accomplished …

In all sectors of the economy, whether in the governmental or private sector, one of the most crucial factors for success is the ability to maintain one’s assets most efficiently and effectively. Finding the best approach for the maintenance of an asset means that it will create the best value possible, …

Participatory energy planning at the local level engages citizens, builds legitimacy and trust, and increases successful implementation of renewable energies. In the context of heat planning, technology choices highly vary depending on the local context and social conditions and including social input …

The dairy goat sector in Norway is confronted to a certain problem since many years, the increase of the cells in goat milk. This cell issue seem to become a big problem for the goat farmers because the somatic cell count and the bacteria count are the base of the payment grid. Other studies in the world …

This study aims to check the performance of two distinct configurations system: a photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) system with an ice buffer storage tank figure [1] and a conventional PV system with an air heat exchanger on the back, figure [3]. The ice buffer storage tank is used to store excess heat from …

Executive Summary - Temperatures across the Middle East region are predicted to increase by 3°C by 2050 - Warming will be felt more in cities because of the urban heat island (UHI) effect, causing heat-related health problems - City planning and management regimes are often disconnected from disaster …

With increase in awareness of the risks posed by climate change and increasingly severe weather events, attention has turned to the need for urgent action. While strategies to respond to flooding and drought are well-established, the effects - and effective response - to heat waves is much less understood. …

The combined CO2 reduction potential is dependent on the deployment sequence. Deployment of CO2 mitigation measures opens and closes deployment paths. Conservative estimates do not represent the potential of heat integration measures. Approaches (e.g. MACC) are not fit for the assessment of heat integration …
