The environmental impact of Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) production from wood gasification is analysed, focusing on the comparison of two continuous processes (CO2 removal and Fuel-assisted hydrogen addition) to balance the gas mix for the methanation, and their coupling to an intermittent process (Full …

Decentralized biogas produced through co-digestion of biomass can play an important role in our future renewable energy mix. However the optimal design, planning and use of a biogas production chain is a daunting process. When looking into a biogas production chain one must take into account, first, …

Abstract written for an poster presentation at the EBA conference in Alkmaar. The flexibility of biogas makes it a very capable load balancer within decentralized smart energy systems. However, within this context the sustainability of biogas production is not fully understood. What is needed is a tool …

Biogas plays an important role in many future renewable energy scenarios as a source of storable and easily extracted form of renewable energy. However, there remains uncertainty as to which sources of biomass can provide a net energy gain while being harvested in a sustainable, ecologically friendly …

Abstract written to Biogas Science for oral presentation. Regarding a new methodology for determining the energy efficiency, carbon footprint and environmental impact of anaerobic biogas production pathways. Additionally, results are given regarding the impacts of energy crops and waste products used …

Posterpresentatie tijdens een relatiemiddag, waarbij het IAG Algen project als voorbeeld werd genomen voor het vervlechten van onderwijs en onderzoek.

In the field of ‘renewable energy resources’ formation of biogas is an important option. Biogas can be produced from biomass in a multistep process called anaerobic digestion (AD) and is usually performed in large digesters. Anaerobic digestion of biomass is mediated by various groups of microorganisms, …

Digester, the building were the process of bio-mass to energy can be experienced in a intimate way. This beacon in the new water of life area is an installation were the participant becomes a part of the production process. The user gathers knowledge about its own daily energy use and consuming habits. …

Poster displayed at the BC&E conference in Hamburg 2014, regarding the Flexigas Simulator, a map based model for designing and planning biogas production chains.

The conservation of our heritage buildings is a European wide policy objective. Historical buildings are not only works of art, but embody an important source of local identity and form a connection to our past. Protection agencies aim to preserve historical qualities for future generations. Their work …
