Recalde Moreno Del Rocio, M.D.R. (author), Amladi, Amogh (author), Venkataraman, Vikrant (author), Woudstra, T. (author), Aravind, P.V. (author)The low cost of electricity in some areas facilitates the adoption of high-temperature electrolysis plants for the large-scale storage of electricity. Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is a promising method of syngas production from wet biomass. Additionally, it is a potential source of steam for electrochemical plants. However, the...journal article 2022

Dehghan, Mehran Dehghan (author), Pfeiffer, Carlos F. (author), Rakhshani, E. (author), Bakhshi-Jafarabadi, Reza (author)Currently, the economy of Middle Eastern countries relies heavily on fossil fuel sources. The direct and indirect adverse consequences of fossil fuel utilization for power generation enforce the region’s countries to raise the share of renewable energy. In this context, various incentive policies have been developed to encourage the...review 2021

Langer, J.K.A. (author), Quist, J.N. (author), Blok, K. (author)Indonesia has an increasing electricity demand that is mostly met with fossil fuels. Although Indonesia plans to ramp up Renewable Energy Technologies (RET), implementation has been slow. This is unfortunate, as the RET potential in Indonesia might be higher than currently assumed given the archipelago’s size. However, there is no literature...review 2021

Olindo, Roberta (author), Schmitt, Nathalie (author), Vogtländer, J.G. (author)LCAs of electric cars and electrolytic hydrogen production are governed by the consumption of electricity. Therefore, LCA benchmarking is prone to choices on electricity data. There are four issues: (1) leading Life Cycle Impact (LCI) databases suffer from inconvenient uncertainties and inaccuracies, (2) electricity mix in countries is...journal article 2021

Sattich, Thomas (author), Freeman, Duncan (author), Scholten, D.J. (author), Yan, Shaohua (author)The geopolitical implications of renewable energy involve changes beyond the immediate impact on energy and commodity streams. Energy policies of individual countries affect each other via different economic and political channels. This paper studies the role of renewable energy in EU-China relations, two leading powers in the field of...journal article 2021

Langer, J.K.A. (author), Cahyaningwidi, Aida Astuti (author), Chalkiadakis, Charis (author), Quist, J.N. (author), Hoes, O.A.C. (author), Blok, K. (author)Indonesia strives for a renewable energy share of 23% by 2025. One option to contribute to this goal is Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). Despite a global theoretical potential of up to 30 TW, its economically deployable share remains unknown. This paper proposes a novel methodology, which enables to determine OTEC's economic potential...journal article 2021

Itten, A.V. (author), Sherry-Brennan, Fionnguala (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Meenakshi Sundaram, A. (author), Devine-Wright, Patrick (author)Providing heat is a key aspect of social life and a necessity for comfort and health in cold climates. Even though heat accounts for a large proportion of worldwide carbon emissions and is the largest energy end-use, it has remained largely untouched by efforts to decarbonize. Efforts to do so meet significant economic, social-psychological,...journal article 2021

Golestani, Nima (author), Arzaghi, E. (author), Abbassi, Rouzbeh (author), Garaniya, Vikram (author), Abdussamie, Nagi (author), Yang, M. (author)Global concerns around climate change and the volatility of conventional fuel prices have prompted researchers and technologists to make significant efforts to identify and exploit alternative energy sources that are cleaner and more sustainable. Wind energy has seen considerable development among these alternative energy sources, mainly due...journal article 2021

Bae, D. (author), Faasse, Richard (author), Smith, W.A. (author)Achieving high current densities without thermal performance degradation at high temperatures is one of the main challenges for enhancing the competitiveness of photo-electrochemical energy storage systems. We describe a system that overcomes this challenge by incorporating an integrated photoelectrode with a redox flow cell, which functions...journal article 2020

Riemersma, B. (author), Kunneke, R.W. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Correljé, A. (author)This paper argues that energy systems are becoming increasingly complex, and illustrates how new types of hazards emerge from an ongoing transition towards renewable energy sources. It shows that the energy sector relies heavily on risk assessment methods that are analytic, and that systemic methods provide important additional insights.Acase...journal article 2020

Elmustapha, Houda (author), Hoppe, T. (author)Although business models presumably have a prominent role in socio-technical change remarkably little research has been conducted in this domain, more particularly in the context of developing economies. In this paper, we tap into this knowledge gap and study business model components and the challenges they face. We argue that the market...journal article 2020

Magalhaes de Medeiros, E. (author), Noorman, H.J. (author), Maciel Filho, Rubens (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author)In this work, a model was developed to predict the performance of a bubble column reactor for syngas fermentation and the subsequent recovery of anhydrous ethanol. The model was embedded in an optimization framework which employs surrogate models (artificial neural networks) and multi-objective genetic algorithm to optimize different process...journal article 2020
