Biomethane is emerging as a key renewable gas in both mature and developing energy systems worldwide. Driven by climate-neutrality objectives, energy-security concerns, and rising waste-to-energy ambitions, global biomethane production is expected to expand rapidly in the coming decade. In Europe, this …

To broaden the application of biomethanation for energy storage and renewable integration, this study investigates the performance of a trickle-bed reactor (TBR) for hydrogen (H2) utilisation in biogas upgrading, using both pure Carbon dioxide (CO2) and biogas-derived CO2 as substrates for methane (CH4) …

Power-to-X technologies play a crucial role in accelerating the energy and material transition. A key opportunity lies in integrating these systems with existing bio-based infrastructures such as anaerobic digesters, providing a reliable source of biogenic carbon. Developing effective Power-to-Methanol …

Worldwide, cities rely on the proper functioning of critical infrastructures (CIs) such as electricity, telecommunication, water supply and transportation. Failure of those infrastructures can lead to significant and long-lasting impacts, even far beyond the flooded areas due to cascading effects. Local …

De elektrificatie van vrachtvervoer versnelt, maar legt een groeiende druk op het elektriciteitsnet van bedrijventerreinen. Netcongestie dreigt daarmee een rem te worden op de verduurzaming van logistiek transport. Dit artikel onderzoekt hoe de toekomstige laadbehoefte voor elektrische trucks en bestelwagens …

Door burgers geleide initiatieven op het gebied van hernieuwbare energie kunnen een belangrijke motor zijn voor lokale energietransities.Dit evenement brengt interdisciplinaire inzichten uit het bedrijfsleven, de economie en de rechtswetenschap samen om maatschappelijke organisaties, lokale overheden …

The growing adoption of residential and community-based photovoltaics (PV) have raised concerns about grid congestion and transformer overload. This paper evaluates three strategies for PV–battery integration in decentralised energy communities using real network and residential data to address these …

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, countries around the world are pursuing electrification policies. In residential areas, electrification will increase electricity supply and demand, which is expected to increase grid congestion at a faster rate than grids can be reinforced. Battery energy storage …

Background This research study applied the 'Integrated Energy Landscape Approach and the Ecosystem Services Framework' to formulate a pre-proposal for a Positive Energy District in the Hoogkerk Zuid neighborhood in Groningen, the Netherlands. Results The proposed energy saving and energy generation interventions …
