Medium-scale farms using anaerobic digestion must choose among different biogas utilization pathways, each with distinct technical and environmental implications. This study develops an integrated assessment framework that combines Aspen Plus process simulations with life cycle assessment in openLCA …

This study investigates the integration of biochar production with CCS as a hybrid biomass-based CDR pathway that could enhance net carbon sequestration while reducing pyrolysis-related CO2 emissions. Biochar and BECCS are often treated as separate options, even though they rely on similar biomass supply …

Background/aim Disease-related malnutrition is common in the Netherlands, and its treatment often involves the use of animal-based protein-enriched products. There is a growing trend and increasing ambition towards a more plant-based diet in the Dutch population and within Dutch healthcare institutions. …

Local energy transitions are promoted as means to achieve decarbonization, ensure democratic participation by local communities in energy decision-making, and foster social acceptance of renewable energy projects. However, despite the growing maturity of energy technologies and increased policy support, …

CO₂ emissions from electricity generation in the Netherlands fluctuate on an hourly basis, depending on which power plants are active in the energy mix. Accurate next-day forecasts of these emissions would enable companies to align energy consumption with low emission periods, but reliable forecasting …

Background: Concept diagrams are widely used as tools to enhance scientific reasoning in education. Tailoring the complexity of these diagrams to the cognitive development of students poses a challenge. An effective measure for diagram complexity is particularly important when these diagrams are deployed …

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 …

Purpose: Emotional exhaustion is a core component of burnout and impacts return-to-work trajectories following sick leave due to burnout or stress. Previous research identified links between emotional exhaustion and sleep, physical activity, mobility, and smartphone usage, yet little is known about how …

Traditional scientific research has produced valuable knowledge, yet its linear, top-down logic often fails to address the complexity of local communities. This results in a gap between knowledge and action, where interventions lack legitimacy and impact. Participatory Action Research (PAR) has emerged …
