de Weerd, Jeltes (author)
Over recent decades, global emissions have surged, raising environmental concerns. Academics have developed models to predict transport patterns, regional sensitivities, and global impacts. This research addresses gaps in understanding global civil aviation emissions by enhancing the accuracy of current models, particularly during climb and...

The global commitment to combating climate change has led to initiatives like the Paris Agreement and the European Commission's 2030 climate target plan. Heineken, aligning with this, has set its own sustainability goals for 2030, aiming for net-zero emissions in its production line and a carbon-neutral value chain by 2040. To address emissions...

Currently, our society faces a pressing challenge: global warming. The solution lies in the energy transition, which replaces fossil fuels with clean sources. This requires a global effort across all sectors, including shipping. While a significant portion of shipping relies on polluting fuels, the European Union’s Green Deal aims for climate...

Hydrogen is expected to play a vital role as an energy carrier in the future decarbonized system. Currently, a large portion of the hydrogen produced comes from the steam reforming of methane present in natural gas, which produces significant amounts of carbon dioxide emissions. However, with the growing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,...

This paper provides an initial feasibility study of the potential installation of iron powder energy generation systems aboard a marine service vessel. After a short introduction as to the relevance of this study, the state-of-the-art iron powder energy generation is investigated. This information is then used to decide which marine service...

Until recently, tenders in Europe were awarded to wind farm developers based on the highest auction prices or the lowest subsidized bids. The wind industry has suggested that non-price-related criteria should be considered for tenders, like plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As a result of the sustainable tender criteria, greenhouse gas...

The dredging industry is a contributor to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to the energy-intensive process of dredging and transporting sediment. This industry has to reduce the GHG emissions due to future possible restricting regulations on GHG emissions. The dredging industry is shifting towards more environmentally friendly fuels, but...

Zuidgeest, Sven (author)
The current global fleet is still dependent on conventional fuels as energy source to transport goods to various places in the world. These conventional fuels, such as MGO or HFO, emit large amounts of greenhouse gasses and other pollutant emissions. Regulation concerning these emissions becomes stricter every day, therefore institutions and...

van den Berg, Robin (author)
The shipping industry is responsible for almost 3% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions and is looking for possibilities to reduce their share. The demand for lowering the emissions of the maritime industry creates the need for insight in the emissions. Currently a generic method to specify emissions in space and time, as a function of vessel...

Savalle, Tom (author)
This paper investigates the kilometer charge and the potential effects of emission-based differentiation, how this policy is supported among Dutch citizens and how it affects different groups. It investigates the behavioural change caused by the new policy using Dutch stated preference discrete choice data. Two stated choice experiments are...

Gartland Bonet, Nico (author)
The maritime industry has long relied on oils and heavy fuels as main energy carriers. The shipping sector still accounts for an important 2.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. On top of this, current industry fuels contain high levels of sulfur and release nitrogen oxides upon combustion, which both can be extremely harmful to local...

Segers, Loes (author)
The pressure to reduce emissions in the sector of inland shipping is increasing. Especially considering emissions of environmental pollutants, the increasing pressure gives rise to the question how to get insight into emissions distributions along an inland waterway network. In this research, a bottom-up method is developed that is able to map...

Terun, Kaan (author)
The International Maritime Organization forecasts that greenhouse gasses produced by ships will increase rapidly in the near future, unless precautions are taken now. This will require all ships to reduce their emissions, especially container vessels which are producing the most emissions. One way of reducing emissions, with existing technology,...

In the context of this thesis, the effect of various diesel-methanol blends in a diesel engine compared to conventional marine diesel oil is investigated by experiments and in-cylinder simulations. The main differences obtained between diesel and methanol are the lower heating value, heat of vaporization and cetane number. During the experiments...

Wiersema, Jeroen (author)
This research aimed to improve the method to calculate offshoring of emissions to understand if developed countries were increasingly offshoring emissions towards developing countries. By offshoring, developed countries can achieve their climate goals without improving their carbon efficiencies. The widely-used method of the balance of emissions...

The aviation market has seen a drastic rise in past decades, and is projected to follow a similar trend in the coming years. Stricter regulations and ambitious targets have been framed to effectively curtail the rise in emissions due to this surge in aviation. A multi-fuel blended wing body aircraft is being developed in TUDelft, with the goal...

In 2015, the worlds first zero-emission sea-going ferry was launched in Norway. This ferry, MF Ampere, is powered by batteries and is sailing in an UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the Netherlands, the Wadden Sea is an UNESCO World Heritage Site with multiple ferry routes where the most recent ferries are sailing on natural gas to reduce emissions...

Nowadays the interest for environmental issues is steadily gaining ground. Inescapably, the shipping industry, is also called to contribute its fair share towards the reduction of air pollution. Harbour tugboats need to comply both with international but also with local exhaust air emission regulations, which are anticipated to become more...

Baas, Daniël (author)
Currently, the inland shipping industry is not sufficiently incentivised to invest in sustainable technologies in order to reduce their emissions. The industry itself wants to be more sustainable, but there is insufficient financial room to invest in alternative technologies. Besides, public authorities try to achieve a reduction using command...

In recent years a return of supersonic transportation has begun with companies looking to launch supersonic aircraft in the coming decade. However, supersonic environmental regulations are still based on Concorde. This thesis looks to predict the performance of new supersonic aircraft for ICAO through a low-fidelity program with a set of climate...
