In 2008, a new concept to extract tidal energy was introduced called Dynamic Tidal Power (DTP). In this concept, the natural tidal wave propagating along a coastline is blocked using a long dam, inducing a water level difference between both sides of the dam. This water level difference, called the hydraulic head, can be exploited by placing...

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,...

For economic, scientific and survival reasons, colonisation of other planets is proposed. Mars is the most suitable place to start. To start an early Martian colony, viable In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) methods of low energy consumption are required to manufacture strong bulk construction materials. Most other studies have used infeasible...

Internal combustion engine (ICE) emissions cause numerous social, environmental, health, and economic issues, including extreme weather or harm to public health. These effects are also experienced in the Chinese Pearl River Delta, where a high-speed, 200-passenger ferry named the Coastal Cruiser 200 (CC-200) uses ICEs to operate. The CC-200's...

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...

In most of the current starting construction projects, most stakeholders use virgin materials for building elements. Considering climate change, building materials are getting scarce, it is necessary to reduce the number of virgin building materials and improve circularity in the construction industry. The problem is the absence of a middle man...

The phenomenon of partial discharge has been long studied in various power components and in recent times, it has been agreed that the occurrence of such discharges can be considered as a vital parameter of component health. Partial discharges in power cables is a pervasive phenomenon that over time may lead to...

In a busy railway network such as the Netherlands, more and more maintenance activities are needed to be performed. These planned activities often lead to an infeasible timetable since infrastructure is temporary unavailable for operations. A macroscopic network model can roughly adjust the timetable for a complete network, while a microscopic...

Research indicates that the maritime sector is accountable for approximately 3% of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, annually, and a trend of vastly growing amounts of CO2 emissions is projected for the future. Despite this significant share in the global warming problem, CO2 emissions from the maritime sector are not significantly...

The yearly floods of the Mekong Delta caused by the Mekong River have been considered a blessing; it purifies the agricultural lands and deposits a fresh layer of silt on the surface, which keeps the delta fertile. However, the growing demand for agricultural products internationally and nationally has pushed the farmers to harvest all year long...
