This presentation was given at the 30st anneversary conference of Tronrud Engeneers, the producer of the TC2 digital handloom about the Dreamweave Factory project currently executed at Hanze Applied University, Biobased Economy

For the future circular economy, renewable carbon feedstocks manifest considerable promise for synthesizing sustainable and biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). In this study, 16 wt% and 30 wt% PHA (cell dry weight) are respectively produced by thermophilic Caldimonas thermodepolymerans from beechwood …

Conference presentation.At the Dutch Universities of Applied Sciences, the relatively high student drop out rate, as well as the study delay are seen as impediments towards the overall study success. The International Business undergraduate programme is not an exception to this. The focus of this paper …

Volgens een recente publicatie van Wageningen University & Research (WUR) is de uitdaging voor de komende jaren om “…verwaardingsketens op te zetten die ingericht zijn op het volledig benutten van biomassa uit de glastuinbouw. Er kan namelijk ontzettend veel uit biomassa gehaald worden: zouten voor meststoffen, …

Lupin plants can grow on marginal lands and in the cold regions of Europe. They produce lupin beans, which contain around 30-40 % proteins and 20 % fats [1]. The high protein and fat content puts the lupin plant into direct competition with soy, which is mostly imported. Despite these promising nutritional …

The synthesis of aromatic compounds from biomass-derived furans is a key strategy in the pursuit of a sustainable economy. Within this field, a Diels–Alder/aromatization cascade reaction with chitin-based furans is emerging as a powerful tool for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing aromatics. In this …

MNEXT (formerly the Center of Expertise – Biobased Economy (CoE BBE)) is researching about the link between Geopolymer, Alginate and Natural fibres treated using Alginate, more specifically about the potential usage of Sodium Alginate and Alginate-treated natural fibres as biological/sustainable binder/activator …

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 …
