(author)Spring systems are efficient and fast precipitating non-marine carbonate factories, but they are also prone to (early) diagenesis. Evidence of diagenesis in travertines remains controversial as the resulting textures have been considered primary in other deposits and the impact on geochemical/palaeo-environmental signals is often poorly...article 2022

(author)Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaboration has become a common practice in technology development projects. Rarely, however, the integration (and translation) of knowledge from different disciplines and different societal contexts is reported in detail. In this article, we address this gap and present the inter- and transdisciplinary...article 2022

Tang, C. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Sprecher, B. (author), Mogollon, J.M. (author)The European Union (EU) has set a 37.5% GHG reduction target in 2030 for the mobility sector, relative to 1990 levels. This requires increasing the share of zero-emission passenger vehicles, mainly in the form of electric vehicles (EVs). This study calculates future GHG emissions related to passenger vehicle manufacturing and use based on stated...article 2022

Rasheed, M.B. (author), R-Moreno, M.D. (author)To meet the carbon-free energy and water demand requirements by Europe, this work has proposed an interconnected and integrated-energy-water-hydrogen (IEWH) system. Typically these systems are generally uncoupled, however, they may be interconnected and can be operated to provide green energy and water with reduced carbon footprints. This work...conference paper 2022

Tosti, L. (author), van Zomeren, A. (author), Pels, J.R. (author), Comans, R.N.J. (author)Purpose: This study evaluates the potential of biomass ash as raw clinker material and the influence of biomass feedstock and thermal conversion technology on biomass ash properties. Methods: A set of criteria for biomass feedstock and ash properties (i.e. CaO/SiO2 ratio and burnability) are established. A large dataset was collected and the...article 2021

Brink, H.M.T. (author), Hitzenberger, R. (author), Keuken, M. (author)Elemental Carbon (EC) is a good indicator for aerosol air quality and a main component in global warming; therefore data on its historic concentration would be highly valuable for an assessment of historic levels. There were already major sources of EC in Europe in the early 20th century, but the component has only been measured since the late...article 2021

van Zomeren, A. (author), Koper, R. (author), Dijkstra, J.J. (author), Comans, R.N.J. (author)Analysis of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is widely used to quantify the sum of organic carbon species in water. Analyzers based on wet chemical oxidation (WCO) usually have a relatively low detection limit (±1 μg of C/L) and are, therefore, well suited for analyses of DOC in environmental samples (e.g., surface water, groundwater, or seawater)...article 2021

Bex, G.J.P. (author), Ingenhut, B.L.J. (author), ten Cate, T. (author), Sezen, M. (author), Ozkoc, G. (author)The use of recycled polymers in 3D printing technologies has recently become a promising research topic because of the global concerns on plastic waste pollution and an increase in awareness of sustainability and circularity. In order to unlock the potentials of 3D printing beyond prototyping purposes, continuous fiber-embedded fused filament...article 2021

(author)Carbon Capture and Storage at industrial processes (industrial CCS) is expected to play an important role in reducing industrial CO2 emissions in the short term. Industrial CCS involves capturing CO2 from industrial processes, such as steel and cement making, and storing the CO2 underground. This study examined the public opinion of industrial...article 2021

Okullo, S.J. (author), Reynèsc, F. (author), Hofkes, M. (author)The theory on the green paradox has focused primarily on the consumption of a clean substitute produced using a static technology. In reality, we observe the gradual accu mulation of the clean substitute’s capacity, suggesting that supply decisions for the clean substitute and finite carbon resource should both be treated as dynamic.

Rueda, O. (author), Mogollon, J.M. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Scherer, L. (author)Our carbon-intensive economy has led to an average temperature rise of 1 ◦C since pre-industrial times. As a consequence, the world has seen increasing droughts, significant shrinking of the polar ice caps, and steady sealevel rise. To stall these issues’ worsening further, we must limit global warming to 1.5 ◦C. In addition to the economy’s...article 2021
