Receiving Sunshine: A feasibility study on imported green hydrogen as a feedstock for current and future hydrogen markets in the hinterland of the Port of Rotterdam

Due to the abundance of solar energy resources in Oman and the participation in the joint venture of the Port of Rotterdam in the Port of Sohar, importing green hydrogen in the Port of Rotterdam has been suggested. In part one of this two-part research (Shipping Sunshine) two green hydrogen import prices were calculated based on a 100 [GW] solar...

Future Energy Carriers in Office Buildings: Techno-economic assessment of integrated energy and mobility systems

In the energy transition the expansion of the amount of renewable energy resources requires new methods for the design of energy systems. To deal with intermittent energy production, different energy technologies and solutions are in development. Hydrogen is a main candidate for this goal. Using Fuel Cell or Battery Electric Vehicles as flexible...

Hybrid boiler systems in the Dutch industry: A techno-economic analysis of the potential of hybrid boiler systems to cost-effectively decarbonise steam generation in the Dutch industry

The Netherlands aims to accelerate the energy transition. Accordingly, ambitious targets have been set for the industrial sector. This will require additional investments in the Dutch industry which is expected to reduce the CO2 emissions at limited costs in comparison with other sectors. However, the ambition to reduce the emissions can create...

Shipping Renewable Hydrogen Carriers: A study on the impact of shipping renewable hydrogen carriers and using those as a fuel on, the ship design, the different powertrain configurations, and the cost of transported hydrogen

Hydrogen enables renewable energy storage, and hydrogen carriers can allow easier transportation. This research was initiated to get more insight into transporting renewable hydrogen carriers (RHCs) by ship, which is one of the transportation options. The research was conducted in three steps. First, a system description with a literature study...
