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, …

Our planet’s weather patterns are changing, plastic pollution is increasing, economic volatility and social inequality are rising globally, and supply chains are becoming more unstable due to the overuse of vital resources. With its global reach and influence, the hospitality industry has the potential …

Dutch-German Collaboration on Hydrogen for Energy Transition Policymakers and Authorities from the Netherlands and Germany met at Euregio Rhine-Waal in Kleve, Germany earlier this month, to advance the role of hydrogen in building a sustainable future. Prof. Sadegh Seddighi from HAN University of Applied …

This paper evaluates the potential impacts of introducing low-carbon intensity hydrogen technologies in two oil refineries with different complexity levels, emphasizing the role of hydrogen production in reducing CO2 emissions. The novelty of this work lies in three key aspects: Comprehensive system …

The global clean energy transition goals require commitment from every country. Different locations however present different technical and economic viability for increasing the penetration of variable renewable energy (VRE) resources to meet national targets. This work presents a comparative economic …

Purpose Social enterprises have proven to play a vital role in the transitions towards inclusive labour markets and sustainable economies. Yet, they often struggle to flourish within traditional economic systems due to the dual mission of pursuing social and commercial goals, leading to inherent tensions …

Local online retail platforms (LORPs) are gaining popularity as digital channels that can increase physical retail agglomerations’ attractiveness and viability by stimulating online sales and consumer footfall. However, insights are needed to enrich academic understanding and guide practitioners in their …

While modern wind turbines have become by far the largest rotating machines on Earth with further upscaling planned for the future, a renewed interest in small wind turbines (SWTs) is fostering energy transition and smart grid development. Small machines have traditionally not received the same level …

The external test is the tenth and final building block of the first and second stage of the Business Model Template (BMT). You will test the viability of the business model concept you have developed so far. You can test your business model idea against all kinds of criteria. If you do not have much …

The purpose of the model is to explore the influence of the design of circular business models (CBMs) on CBM viability. The model represents an Industrial Symbiosis Network (ISN) in which a processor uses the organic waste from suppliers to produce biogas and nutrient rich digestate for local reuse. …
