Koekkoek, Aron (author)Ammonia (NH3) may reduce CO2 emissions from the marine industry as it is carbon-free and more energy-dense than hydrogen or batteries. Pure ammonia exhibits poor combustion characteristics, so several researchers have already operated small-scale internal combustion engines (ICEs) with ammonia-hydrogen blends. However, nitrogen oxides NOx and...master thesis 2021

Geutjes, Dennis (author)Societal concern is growing regarding the effect fossil energy use has on our planet and societies. Many promising sustainable energy solutions, like hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, and district heating, require long-distance distribution and transmission through networked infrastructure. Often, existing infrastructure can be repurposed to...master thesis 2021

Corvaglia, Francesca (author)The growing global energy demand and correlated rise in carbon emissions is forcing us to increase the use of renewable sources. The residential sector represents a large part of the total energy consumption, and European governments are investing in distributed PV to increase the renewable share in this sector. However, on top of the solar...master thesis 2021

Terstappen, Robin (author)This thesis contributes to increasing the technology readiness level of hydrogen storage in gas reservoirs, which will be required when hydrogen has become a major energy carrier in the future Dutch energy system. It addresses the mixing processes with resident gases that occur during hydrogen storage operations in gas fields, and analyzes their...master thesis 2021

Glerum, Wuis (author)Hydrogen storage in porous media is a potential solution to the energy distribution problems we might face in the future. Intermittent energy sources such as solar and wind energy need to be accompanied with temporary energy storage to accomodate the times when production and demand do not match. Hydrogen is an energy carrier with a large mass...master thesis 2021

Groenewegen, Charlie (author)Today’s climate change creates a serious issue, which forces us to act by reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions across every sector. Making changes towards a sustainable world takes time and creates competition. Hydrogen has the potential to fuel a ‘clean’ economy because it is a carbon free energy carrier that can be produced from fossil fuels as...master thesis 2021

van Laar, Ghislaine (author)This research examines the possible pathways and available technologies that will help the shipping sector to achieve the climate goals set by the IMO. Reaching these goals will require financial incentives and policies regarding sustainability. These policies need to describe regulations at both international and regional level given the...master thesis 2021

Hoek, Dennis (author)In the Netherlands, it is envisaged that hydrogen will play a crucial role in the energy transition. Especially in this heavy industry, hydrogen will become essential to make this sector sustainable. In general, three types of hydrogen are used: grey, blue, and green hydrogen. This study focuses on green hydrogen, as it is produced without CO2...master thesis 2021

van de Graaff, Bas (author)The world needs to decarbonize, and that includes the transport sector, which accounts for almost a quarter of the GHG emissions. Electrification and hydrogen-powered transport are increasing significantly. But, a new category of hydrogen-based fuels (synthetic fuels) could be part of the solution as well. Synthetic fuels are fuels that are made...master thesis 2021

Kolff, Reneke (author)To reach the goals of the European Green Deal (CO2 emission reduction of 55% by 2030 and climate neutral by 2050), North-Western Europe has to import sustainable energy as locally produced renewable energy will not be sufficient to meet the total demand. This will be realised by importing green hydrogen from areas with a surplus of renewable...master thesis 2021

Abrahamse, Noor (author)Hydrogen produced by electrolysis of water, powered by renewable energy, is seen as the key to enabling the energy transition and creating a new green economy. The result will be a trade market for low-carbon hydrogen where the trade routes will be determined by natural, technical, cost and geopolitical factors. However, to transport or store...master thesis 2021

Evertse, Tom (author)In the battle against climate change, humankind needs to develop alternative energy systems if it wants to survive on this planet. Fossil fuels, polluting the air with CO2, must make way for renewable sources so that climate change is put to a stop. Several new energy initiatives based on renewable sources are deployed worldwide, these however...master thesis 2021
