The aquaculture sector is expanding worldwide, which gives this sector an important economic potential. A problem for the on land aquaculture sector is that there is insufficient quality feed for cultivating fish larvae and shellfish. Based on this problem the RAAQUA project was launched (Robust Algae …

This investigation tries to give more insight in the relation between the Carcinus maenas, acting as predator in this part of the food chain and the Ruditapes philippinarum, being hunted by the Carcinus maenas. The focus in this investigation has been based on the occurrence of the different sizes of …

Wind and solar power generation will continue to grow in the energy supply of the future, but its inherent variability (intermittency) requires appropriate energy systems for storing and using power. Storage of possibly temporary excess of power as methane from hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide is a promising …

Excess of renewable electricity from wind turbines or solar panels is used for electrolysis of water. To store this renewable energy as methane, the hydrogen is fed to an anaerobic digester to stimulate biological methanation by hydrogenotrophic methanogens. This workpackage focusses on the best ways …

Within this paper, biomass supply chains, with different shares of biomass co-combustion in coal fired power plants, are analysed on energy efficiency, energy consumption, renewable energy production, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and compared with the performance of a 100% coal supply chain scenario, …

Tijdens de Hanze Research Day is BioPower2Gas gepresenteerd door middel van deze posterpresentatie

This report is part of a collaborated study initiated by the SEnSOR programme to assess each of the compartments of aboveground carbon (AGC) stocks in fragmented lowland dipterocarp forests in Sabah. The biomass and carbon contents of living trees and coarse woody debris, lianas, fine woody debris (FWD) …

The Bio-P2G-program (Bio-Power to Gas) at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences evaluates the technologic feasibility of the biological reduction of carbon dioxide with hydrogen to methane (biomethanation: 1 CO2 + 4 H2 -> CH4 + 2 H2O) Chemically, this process is known as the Sabatier reaction, but …

The number of primary rainforests in South-East Asia is in rapid decline since many formerly continuous forests become splintered as a result of human activities like mining, agriculture and silviculture. This study examined the effects of forest fragment size and logging on the tree carbon stocks and …

Eutrophication because of heightened phosphorus and nitrogen input into freshwater ecosystems is an increasing problem, while at the same time phosphorus availability for agricultural purposes is decreasing on a high pace. B-Ware Research Centre and Radboud University Nijmegen developed a novel biocascade …
