This century, greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen oxides must be significantly reduced. Greenhouse gases absorb and emit infrared radiation that contributes to global warming, which can lead to irreversible negative consequences for humans and the environment. Greenhouse …

High population growth, a lack of wastewater treatment plants and poor wastewater management are major challenges in wastewater management in Timor-Leste (East Timor). One of the approaches of the government of Timor-Leste is to separate wastewater into greywater and blackwater from domestic, commercial, …

Heat pumps are a promising option to decarbonize the industrial sector. However, their performance at a plant-level can be affected by other process changes. In this work, process changes that improve the heat pump's performance have been identified using Process Change Analysis (PCA), where the background …

In this opinion piece, we establish some key priorities for evidence-based governance to address the increasing threat of heatwave events in Europe, particularly for human health. According to the European Environment Agency (EEA) [1], Europe is warming faster than the global average. The year 2020 was …

In Europe, green hydrogen and biogas/green gas are considered important renewable energy carriers, besides renewable electricity and heat. Still, incentives proceed slowly, and the feasibility of local green gas is questioned. A supply chain of decentralised green hydrogen production from locally generated …

Steam generating heat pumps show great potential for reducing carbon emissions in the industrial sector. However, predicting their performance is challenging as the exergy destruction of e.g., compressors and expansion valves increases with the temperature lift and condenser temperature. With over seventy …

Self-organized industrial symbiosis (IS) starts with one actor's decision to invest in a waste recovery plant and the other actors' decision to buy the recovered flow. Technical and institutional conditions of the cluster influence actors' decisions. This paper explores the emergence of IS collaborations …

In all sectors of the economy, whether in the governmental or private sector, one of the most crucial factors for success is the ability to maintain one’s assets most efficiently and effectively. Finding the best approach for the maintenance of an asset means that it will create the best value possible, …

The combined CO2 reduction potential is dependent on the deployment sequence. Deployment of CO2 mitigation measures opens and closes deployment paths. Conservative estimates do not represent the potential of heat integration measures. Approaches (e.g. MACC) are not fit for the assessment of heat integration …
