Presentation given and game played at the house of the Dutch provincies in Brussel. Within the Energy Battle game four roles must reach a common goal of renewable production in their village and an individual goal per role. The roles in the game are People, Planet, Profit, and Balance. The group must …

The energy efficiency and sustainability of an anaerobic green gas production pathway was evaluated, taking into account five biomass feedstocks, optimization of the green gas production pathway, replacement of current waste management pathways by mitigation, and transport of the feedstocks. Sustainability …

During the opening of the Hanze Energy Transition Centre or EnTranCe (2015-10-13) posters were on display for the King and for the public. During the opening these posters where accompanied by the researchers to explain their research in more detail if questions did arise.

A transition of today’s energy system towards renewableresources, requires solutions to match renewable energy generationwith demand over time. These solutions include smartgrids, demand-side management and energy storage. Energycan be stored during moments of overproduction of renewableenergy and used …

The amount of biogas produced in agricultural areas is expected to increase. The increasing number of local and regional initiatives show the growing interest in decentralized energy production. In these new developments biogas can play a role, as a producer of energy, but also in balancing the electricity …

Eén van de doelstellingen van het onderzoeksproject Flexiheat is het ontwerpen van innovatieve business modellen die een succesvolle exploitatie van warmtenetten stimuleren door het benutten van flexibiliteit. Binnen Flexiheat is het Energy Transition Park in Wijster met de afvalverbrandingsinstallatie …

One of the issues concerning the replacement of natural gas by green gas is the seasonal pattern of the gas demand. When constant production is assumed, this may limit the injected quantity of green gas into a gas grid to the level of the minimum gas demand in summer. A procedure was proposed to increase …

Urban delta areas are facing problems related with land scarcity and are impacted by climate change and flooding. To meet the current demands and future challenges, innovative and adaptive urban developments are necessary [de Graaf, 2009]. Floating urban development is a promising solutions, as it offers …

An estimated 17 million tonnes of tires are discarded annually. Re-use is achieved by retreading (9%), recycling (39%), energy recovery (37%) and landfill (5%). A preferred, but complex way of recycling is to make new tires from discarded tire rubber. Vulcanised car tire rubber has to be devulcanized …

Dit is Part 2 van het internationale SIA RAAK-project KOENST waarin onderzoek naar duurzame en energie-efficiënte productietechnologieën van kunststoffen centraal staat. In het kader van „energieoptimalisatie‟ is in hoofdstuk twee gestart met het analyseren van het energieverbruik van een aantal productieprocessen …
