Decarbonizing the energy system requires new applications for green hydrogen produced via electrolysis, especially in high-emission sectors. This study investigates the technoeconomic feasibility of off-grid on-farm hydrogen production integrated with intermittent renewables in Australia and the Netherlands, …

Van de 212 buurt- en dorpshuizen in de provincie is het bestuur van het merendeel ervan begonnen met het stapsgewijs verduurzamen van het gebouw. Idealiter gaat de snelheid waarmee deze gebouwen verduurzaamd worden de komende jaren omhoog. In dit rapport worden de uitkomsten en conclusies beschreven …

SPARKLES – TOOLBOX SPARKLES is an interdisciplinary research project at the Hanzehogeschool Groningen (Hanze). The project focuses on the responsible, large-scale deployment of floating solar panels (Floating PV) on inland waters. Toolbox Students will learn for example to: Understand FPV technology …

Little is known about how resilience to disinformation develops and manifests in people’s daily lives. Addressing this gap, our study investigates young adults’ tactics for navigating disinformation and the resources they draw from throughout this process. Based on 29 semi-structured interviews with …

Het Nederlandse elektriciteitsnet staat onder druk. Zonnepanelen, warmtepompen en laadpalen vragen meer van een infrastructuur die daar niet voor gebouwd is. De congestie is het hardst voelbaar op het middenspanningsnet — de regionale bottle­necks waar jarenlange wachtrijen voor nieuwe aansluitingen …

This inaugural volume, Breaking Barriers: Accelerating Transitions, brings together papers and abstracts presented at the Conference on Energy, Livestock, and Mobility Transitions, part of the New Energy Forum in Groningen. The publication reflects both the rapid development of the energy transition …

The success of the energy transition will depend not only on the rapid deployment of zeroemission technologies, but also on the expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydrogen. Equally important is meaningful engagement with the communities affected by this transition. Despite …

The Netherlands is undergoing a massive (re)construction challenge. In addition to building new housing, a substantial part of the existing building stock of housing corporations is undergoing renovation. This renovation challenge has varying interactions with the energy transition, testified by the …

At the macro level, the Netherlands has become an agricultural giant thanks to its efficient, intensive farming practices. At the micro level, farmers are under pressure to make ever-larger investments and focus heavily on improving operational efficiency. This has led to a series of business decisions, …

This study compares three farm-scale biogas utilization pathways—combined heat and power (CHP), biogas upgrading, and bio-methanation—using process simulation and life cycle assessment to identify the most suitable option for on-farm application. Bio-methanation showed the highest practical energy efficiency, …
