Seykens, X. (author), Bekdemir, C. (author), Han, J. (author), Willems, R. (author), van Hal, J. (author)This paper focusses on the application of bioalcohols (ethanol and butanol) derived from seaweed in Heavy-Duty (HD) Compression Ignition (CI) combustion engines. Seaweed-based fuels do not claim land and are not in competition with the food chain. Currently, the application of high octane bioalcohols is limited to Spark Ignition (SI) engines....conference paper 2020

Houben, J. (author), Sögütoglu, L.C. (author), Donkers, P. (author), Huinink, H. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)Potassium carbonate, K2CO3, has been identified as one of the most promising thermochemical storagematerials for the built environment. Where a lot of knowledge has been gained on hydration/dehydrationbehavior at atmospheric (open system) conditions, little is known of this process under pure water vaporconditions (closed vacuum system). In this...article 2020

Dobers, K. (author), Ehrler, V.C. (author), Davydenko, I. (author), Rudiger, D. (author), Clausen, U. (author)Carbon footprinting is regarded as one means of enhancing transparency on where greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 17 are produced within a transport chain and, thus, limiting the emissions and improving the efficiency of transport and transhipment, on both the demand and supply sides of the market. In order to meet global GHG reduction targets and...conference paper 2019

(author)The Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE, c. 182 Ma) represents a major perturbation of the carbon cycle marked by widespread black shale deposition. Consequently, the onset of the T-OAE has been linked to the combined effects of global warming, high productivity, basin restriction and salinity stratification. However, the processes that led to...article 2019
