Gentile, G. (author), Bonalumi, D. (author), Pieterse, J.A.Z. (author), Sebastiani, F. (author), Lucking, L.E. (author), Manzolini, G. (author)The iron and steel industry accounts for 6 % of the global CO2 emissions and it is one of the main hard-to-abate sectors that must be un-locked to reach climate neutrality in the coming decades. The objective of this work is to assess the economics of the FReSMe (From Residual Steel gases to Methanol) process for reducing the carbon footprint of...article 2022

Sebastiani, F. (author), Lucking, L.E. (author), Saric, M. (author), James, J.D. (author), Boon, J. (author), van Dijk, H.A.J. (author), Cobden, P. (author), Pieterse, J.A.Z. (author)Steel production is a main source of CO2 emissions globally. These emissions must be drastically reduced to meet climate change mitigation goals. STEPWISE is a Sorption Enhanced Reactive Process (SERP) technology that converts steel works arising gases to H2 with simultaneous CO2 capture. The main energy requirements of the process are the high-...article 2022

(author), van der Zwaan, B.C.C. (author)This paper presents two different scenarios for the energy system of the Netherlands that achieve the Dutch government’s national target of near net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2050. Using the system optimisation model OPERA, the authors have analysed the technology, sector and cost implications of the assumptions nderlying these scenarios....article 2022

Nycander, E. (author), Morales España, G.A. (author), Söder, L. (author)The planning of future power systems with high shares of renewable generation requires modelling large and complex systems over long time periods, resulting in models which are computationally heavy to solve. For this reason methods that can be used to decrease the size of power system dispatch models are needed. A common method in large scale...article 2022

Cioc, R.C. (author), Crockatt, M. (author), van der Waal, J.C. (author), Bruijninckx, P.C.A. (author)A hydrazine-mediated approach towards renewable aromatics production via Diels-Alder aromatization of readily available, biobased furfurals was explored as alterative to the more classical approaches that rely on reactive but uneconomical reduced dienes (e. g., 2,5-dimethylfuran). To enable cycloaddition chemistry with these otherwise unreactive...article 2022

Cioc, R.C. (author), Crockatt, M. (author), van der Waal, J.C. (author), Bruijninckx, P.C.A. (author)Biomass-derived furanic platform molecules have emerged as promising building blocks for renewable chemicals and functional materials. To this aim, the Diels–Alder (DA) cycloaddition stands out as a versatile strategy to convert these renewable resources in highly atom-efficient ways. Despite nearly a century worth of examples of furan DA...article 2022

Dalla Longa, F. (author), van der Zwaan, B.C.C. (author)A large part of the population in many African countries lacks access to electricity, in contrast to the ambition of reaching universal energy access as expressed in the Sustainable Development Goals. Off-grid electricity technologies have been proposed as an important means to solve this challenge. It is uncertain, however, at what rate these...article 2021

Aarts, D. (author)Schaarste aan grondstoffen kan ervoor zorgen dat we in de toekomst niet genoeg groene waterstof kunnen produceren om ambities waar te maken. En het kan zelfs de hele energietransitie hinderen. Weinig mensen zijn zich bewust van dit probleem. Tegelijk is het ook de vraag wiens probleem die schaarste eigenlijk is.article 2021

(author)The synthesis of methanol from biomass-derived syngas can be challenging because of the high CO2 content in the bio-syngas, resulting in lower kinetics and higher catalyst deactivation. This work explores the in situ pre-treatment of a CO2-rich syngas with a CO2/CO ratio equal to 1.9 through the reverse-water gas shift reaction with the aim of...article 2021

Broecks, K.P.F. (author), Jack, C. (author), ter Mors, E. (author), Boomsma, C. (author), Shackley, S. (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

Dalla Longa, F. (author), Sweerts, B. (author), van der Zwaan, B.C.C. (author)Energy poverty is receiving increased attention in developed countries like the Netherlands. Although it only affects a relatively small share of the population, it constitutes a stern challenge that is hard to quantify and monitor, hence difficult to effectively tackle through adequate policy measures. In this paper we introduce a framework to...article 2021

Morales España, G.A. (author), Nycander, E. (author), Sijm, J.P.M. (author)To lower CO2 emissions, policy makers want to integrate as much variable renewable energy (VRE) as possible into power systems. This has been translated into targets for VRE as a share of total electricity generation and policies that aim to maximize the use of electricity available from VRE sources. However, in this paper we demonstrate that it...article 2021
