The amount of biogas produced in agricultural areas is expected to increase. The increasing number of local and regional initiatives show the growing interest in decentralized energy production. In these new developments biogas can play a role, as a producer of energy, but also in balancing the electricity …

This report presents the experimental and numerical work carried out by ECN and Hanze University of Applied Sciences on methane sorption on activated carbon, as part of their activities within the EDGaR Energy Storage project. Eleven different activated carbon types were tested. It was found that MaxSorb …

The increase in renewable energy sources will require an increase in the operational flexibility of the grid, due to the intermittent nature of these sources. This can be achieved for the gas and the electricity grid, which are integrated by means of power-to-gas and vice versa, by applying gas and other …

In the present work the possibility to use Liquefied Natural Gas as a fuel for naval ships has been investigated. The main research question is: "Is it viable to convert the hydrographic survey vessels to the use of Liguefied Natural Gas (LNG) as fuel?" More specifically the focus lay on how to convert …

SBM Schiedam is active in the design, engineering and construction of Floating Production Storage and O oading (FPSO) ships. Currently SBM has a few projects for Petrobras. Purpose of an FPSO is to produce oil from a subsea oil eld. The FPSO production process is split over di erent modules which can …

A (semi-)closed greenhouse is a novel greenhouse with an active cooling system and temporary heat storage in an aquifer. Air is cooled, heated and dehumidified by air treatment units. Climate in (semi-)closed greenhouses differs from that of conventional open greenhouses. The aims of our research were …

Throughout the world greenhouse horticulture is expanding and intensifying. The expansion is driven by the much higher production levels that are achieved in greenhouses compared to open fields. This provides increased income for farmers and a positive effect on rural development. Intensification is …
