van Kampen, J. (author), Boon, J. (author), van Berkel, F.P.F. (author), Vente, J.F. (author), van Sint Annaland, M. (author)Enhancement by steam separation is a promising process intensification for many types of reactions in which water is formed as a byproduct. For this, two main technologies are reactive vapor permeation (membrane technology) and reactive adsorption. Both can achieve significant conversion enhancement of equilibrium limited reactions by in situ...article 2019

(author), Tukker, A. (author)Globalization of supply chains has resulted in rapid increases in emission transfers from the developing to the developed world. As outsourcing has risen, developed countries have been able to decarbonize domestically, at the expense of increased emissions in developing countries.

Vandeweijer, V. (author), Hofstee, C. (author), Graven, H. (author)Since 2004 the feasibility of CO2 injection and storage in depleted natural gas fields has been researched and demonstrated at K12-B, a gas field on the Dutch continental shelf. In total over 100 Kton of CO2 was injected. The entire operation at the K12-B field was completed without any major complications. It can therefore be stated that safe...conference paper 2018

Yuan, R. (author), Behrens, P. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Rodrigues, J.F.D. (author)China has embarked on a massive program of low-carbon electricity (LE) deployment, in order to reduce its current dependence on coal. The cumulative installed capacity of LE in 2015 was almost four times of that in 2002. Moreover, China has a target of 20% for non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption by 2030. LE provides substantial carbon...article 2018

Barros, E. (author), Leeuwenburgh, O. (author), Carpentier, S. (author), Wilschut, F. (author), Neele, F.
