This research aimed to find out how the Netherlands and the UAE can collaborate on seaweed production by using the Dubai Expo to bring both parties together. Seaweed brings a green solution towards the Food Security index pressures felt in the UAE now. These pressures are; water availability, oceans …

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 …

Poland still has a lot of changes ahead that are necessary, especially in rural areas, if Poland wants to reach the climate goals set by the European Union. Bioenergy could be a great option for Poland as it would tackle Poland’s problems with greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution and power interruptions. …

New technologies or approaches are being widely developed and proposed to be deployed in real energy systems to improve desired objectives; however supporting decision making processes to select best solutions in terms of performance and efficient following cost-benefit analysis require some sort of …

Ever since, the recognition of the causality between earthquakes in the Northern part of the Netherlands, more specific the Region Groningen, gas production and the ensuing damage to houses and buildings in that area, society faces big challenges in policy-making. Not in the least because the above-mentioned …

People in western countries spend approximately 90% of their time indoors. This severely affects their health (WHO 2013; Klepeis et al. 2001). The health risks are exacerbated if people travel between indoor spaces by car or public transport. Buildings on streets specifically designed to create a human …

The municipality of Bergen op Zoom is assuming to overlook climate change problems and possibilities. They are missing knowledge on how to deal with a dry period. This is the reason of the requested for a research on the drought problematic. They want to know how different departments and inhabitants …

Catalytic pyrolysis of crude glycerol over a shaped H-ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst with (partial) recycling of the product oil was studied with the incentive to improve benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) yields. Recycling of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) fraction, after separation from BTX by distillation …

The 'AgroCycle' project investigates whether a cooperation of farms can become self-sufficient in energy and fertilization by using manure and organic waste streams for the production of energy, green fuel and green fertilizers by means of anaerobic digestion (AD). In the project, the project partners …
