Methanol from sunlight and air: A guide towards the embodiment design of the micro plant

The carbon emission of fossil fuels contributes to global warming. The start-up ZEF develops a sustainable alternative to create fuel. By capturing CO2 and H2O from the air, the energy from PV solar panels, and the right technology, they create methanol. Methanol can, among other things, be used as a fuel or to create plastics. This product is...

On the consolidation and erosion of cohesive sediments

Modelling of cohesive sediments is of paramount importance for water quality issues: cohesive sediments control the light extinction and they are the major carriers for heavy metals. The concentration of cohesive sediments in open water systems is too a large extent controlled by erosion from and deposition to the waterbed. The permanent opening...
