Energy transition is key to achieving a sustainable future. However, in this transition, an often neglected pillar is raising awareness and educating individuals on the benefits, complexities, and urgency of renewable energy supply and energy efficiency. This paper exemplifies an educational practice …

The increase in population, high standards of living and rapid urbanization has led to an increasing demand for food across the globe. The global trade has made it possible to meet this demand by enabling transport of different food products from one part of the world to another. In this trade, refrigerated …

We, humans have our roots in pre-Anthropocene eras where we gathered skills for survival and establishing our culture. The cumulated tacit knowledge, the skills, ideas and experiences that can only be shared by personal contact and mutual trust, is evolved and cumulated during this pre-Anthropocene era. …

The future energy system could benefit from the integration of independent gas, heat and electricity infrastructures. Such a hybrid energy network could support the increase of intermittent renewable energy sources by offering increased operational flexibility. Nowadays, the expectations on Natural Gas …

Wind and solar power generation will continue to grow in the energy supply of the future, but its inherent variability (intermittency) requires appropriate energy systems for storing and using power. Storage of possibly temporary excess of power as methane from hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide is a promising …

Excess of renewable electricity from wind turbines or solar panels is used for electrolysis of water. To store this renewable energy as methane, the hydrogen is fed to an anaerobic digester to stimulate biological methanation by hydrogenotrophic methanogens. This workpackage focusses on the best ways …

Within this paper, biomass supply chains, with different shares of biomass co-combustion in coal fired power plants, are analysed on energy efficiency, energy consumption, renewable energy production, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and compared with the performance of a 100% coal supply chain scenario, …

Duurzaamheid heeft een belangrijk aandeel in alle aspecten van bedrijfsbeleid. Dit geldt ook voor bedrijven die opereren in een landbouw supply chain. De meeste literatuur beschrijft het verminderen van voedselverlies of voedselveiligheid, maar er is weinig aandacht besteedt aan hoe organisaties die …

The Bio-P2G-program (Bio-Power to Gas) at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences evaluates the technologic feasibility of the biological reduction of carbon dioxide with hydrogen to methane (biomethanation: 1 CO2 + 4 H2 -> CH4 + 2 H2O) Chemically, this process is known as the Sabatier reaction, but …
