Decarbonizing the energy system requires new applications for green hydrogen produced via electrolysis, especially in high-emission sectors. This study investigates the technoeconomic feasibility of off-grid on-farm hydrogen production integrated with intermittent renewables in Australia and the Netherlands, …

Critical materials are economically important raw materials with high supply risk. They are widely used in electronic components, batteries, sensors and drone-related systems. For Europe, access to these materials is a strategic issue because many of them are not sufficiently available within the European …

The Netherlands is undergoing a massive (re)construction challenge. In addition to building new housing, a substantial part of the existing building stock of housing corporations is undergoing renovation. This renovation challenge has varying interactions with the energy transition, testified by the …

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 …

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 …

European food supply chains have seen structural changes regarding cost, energy, labour, and sustainability regulations. This has forced food processors to reassess the drivers of logistics outsourcing and rethink their strategies. In this exploratory multiple-case study, we investigated six large food …

Het NO-GIZMOS-project heeft aangetoond dat gedecentraliseerde energiebronnen in het laagspanningsnet congestieproblemen op middenspanningsniveau (MV) effectief kunnen oplossen. Onze pilot in Ansen heeft aangetoond dat een gemeenschapsgebaseerde en algoritmisch aangestuurde virtuele energiecentrale, bestaande …

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) …

Awareness of climate change and stricter emission regulations have accelerated the search for sustainable energy solutions. A central goal is carbon-neutral energy use, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring reliable energy supply. In applications with limited grid access—such as festivals, …

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 …
