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 …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) can play an important role in achieving the renewable energy goals set within the European Union. Within this article the focus is placed on reaching the Dutch local renewable production goal set for the year 2020 with locally available biomass waste flows, avoiding intensive …

Biogas infrastructure from farm-scale to regional scale, line-pack storage in biogas grids. The number of local and regional initiatives encouraging the production and use of regional produced energy grows. In these new developments biogas can play a role, as a producer of energy, but also in balancing …

During the Annual LNG Summit in Cannes prof. dr. ir. J. Dam. presented his work on LNG fuel containment systems for transport. Topics range form education and research on LNG to newly developed materials for LNG storage

The volume of biogas produced in agricultural areas is expected to increase in coming years. An increasing number of local and regional initiatives show a growing interest in decentralized energy production, wherein biogas can play a role. Biogas transport from production sites to user, i.e. a CHP, boiler …

This report focuses on the feasibility of the power-to-ammonia concept. Power-to-ammonia uses produced excess renewable electricity to electrolyze water, and then to react the obtained hydrogen with nitrogen, which is obtained through air separation, to produce ammonia. This process may be used as a …

The aim of this dissertation is to research if and how Lithuania’s LNG terminal could be a method to ensure energy security within the European Union. Lithuania’s energy position has been a very vulnerable one, and used to import 100% of its gas supply from Russia’s state monopoly Gazprom. In order to …

The energy efficiency and sustainability of an anaerobic green gas production pathway was evaluated, taking into account five biomass feedstocks, optimization of the green gas production pathway, replacement of current waste management pathways by mitigation, and transport of the feedstocks. Sustainability …

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 study aims to evaluate the effect in the energy network of a big shared of decarbonise vehicles (NGV and EV) based on car-use profiles of current conventional and electric vehicles in the city of Groningen. Charging profiles were developed within CBS dataset of mobility and transport, and the electric …
