Liu, J.J. (author), Dickson, R. (author), Niaz, H. (author), van Hal, J.W. (author), Dijkstra, J.W. (author)Seaweed as a third-generation biofuel feedstock can provide fuels and chemicals to offset climate change caused by fossil fuel usage and support a cleaner and thriving sea and ocean environment. However, despite several advantages, there are significant challenges to deploying commercial-scale seaweed-based biorefineries, including low-cost and...article 2022

(author), van Haute, M. (author), Claassen, P.A.M. (author)The aim of the project “More Fuels from Organic Residues” (MOTOR) is to produce advanced biofuels for the transport sectors where electrification or gaseous biofuels will not generate the reduction of their carbon footprint in the short term. In MOTOR, wet lignocellulosic waste streams that do not compete with the food/feed market are used as a...conference paper 2022

(author)Feedstock flexibility is highly advantageous for the viability of (solvent-based) biorefineries but comes with the considerable challenge of having to cope with the varying nature and typically high abundance of nonlignocellulose compounds in the most readily available residual biomass streams. Here, we demonstrate that mild aqueous acetone...article 2022

(author), Peters, T.A. (author)In the present work, the high-temperature and long-term hydrothermal stability of novel polyPOSS-imide membranes for high-temperature hydrogen separation is investigated. The polyPOSS-imide membranes are found to exhibit an appropriate stability up to 300 C. Above this temperature the membrane selectivity rapidly decreases, which is seemingly...article 2022

Saric, M. (author), Dijkstra, J.W. (author), van Delft, Y.C. (author)The potential of advanced polymer or hybrid polymer membranes to reduce CO2 emissions in steel production was evaluated. For this, a conceptual process design and assessment was performed for a process that is a combination of carbon recycling and electrification of the steel making process. The results indicate a CO2 avoidance of 9%. CO2...article 2021

Vural Gursel, I. (author), Dijkstra, J.W. (author), Huijgen, W.J.J. (author), Ramirez, A. (author)This paper presents a techno-economic assessment of three novel routes for the production of bio-based aromatics from lignin. It aims to provide insights into their feasibility and hotspots at an early stage of development to guide further research and development and to facilitate commercialization. The lignin conversion routes are: (non...article 2019
