The article evaluates the effectiveness of implementing a Dutch certifiable scheme for carbon reporting. This CO2 Performance Ladder is described as a energy management schemes and focuses on CO2 emission reduction in the construction industry sector. A literature study was combined with interviews.

Within the Flexigas project a model has been constructed which can analyze the efficiency, carbon footprint and environmental impact of anaerobic biogas production chains.

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 …

This project helps to reach the end goal of doing long distance measurements. Long distance measurements depends on the refractive index of air. The refractive index depends on temperature, pressure, humidity and gas mixture. The biggest uncertainty of calculating the refractive index is the temperature, …

The effect of an elevated sample temperature on the growth rate of carbon in the holes of a Multiple Aperture Array (MAA) has been examined. The loss of transmitted electrons through the MAA was measured by taking pictures with a camera of an Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) scintillation crystal. The growth …

Locally produced methane, - either as biomethane or power-to-gas product, has to be stored to provide a reliable gas source for the fluctuating demand of any local gas distribution network. Additionally, methane is a prominent transportation fuel but its suitability for vehicular application depends …

Methane storage in adsorbed form is a promising way to effectively and safely store fuel for vehicular transportation or for any other potential application. In a solid adsorbent, nanometer wide pores can trap methane by van der Waals forces as high density fluid at low pressure and room temperature. …

Renewable energy is often suggested as a possible solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and decreasing dependency on fossil energy sources. The most readily available renewable energy sources in Europe, wind, solar and biomass are dispersed by nature, making them ideally suited for use within …

The working hypothesis for this research project is that it is possible to develop a new functional polymer printing process for the direct application of conductive polymer onto textiles. We will use the basic extrusion technology that is currently applied in 3D printing. Thus the aim is also expanding …

Energy management and carbon accounting schemes are increasingly being adopted as a corporate response to climate change. These schemes often demand the setting of ambitious targets for the reduction of corporate greenhouse gas emissions. There is however only limited empirical insight in the companies’ …
