van Eesteren, Jessy (author)District heating networks (DHN) in the Netherlands have the potential to supply sustainable heat but are currently designed to deliver around 80 \% of the heat from a sustainable source. The peak demand is delivered with a gas boiler because of flexibility and costs. With the share of DHNs increasing in the Netherlands and the goal to be CO$_2$...master thesis 2023

Bokil, Siddharth Rahul (author)The heating and cooling sector is one of the biggest sectors at this moment due to drastic fluctuations in climate parameters. Even though this sector helps in making sure everyone gets comfortable temperatures at the home, office, etc., there are environmental consequences attached to them. These consequences are in terms of emissions of...master thesis 2022

SELVAM, KARTHIK (author)CO2 is the major contributor of green houses gases in the atmosphere. Two notable branches that revolutionized the approach toward reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere are Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture Utilization (CCU). CCS has its shortcomings in the long run, a study from MIT shows that the united states have an adequate land...master thesis 2022

van der Maas, Jos (author)The worlds energy demand is rising as a result of industrial activity and advances in countries around the world. Fossil fuel sources are used to meet this demand for much of the world [1]. The way in which energy is handled causes pollution e.g., CO2 emissions, inducing climate change, therefore a more sustainable industry is desired [2, 3]....master thesis 2021

Schaefer, Wietse (author)The thesis discusses how alternative heat generation for furnaces can be implemented on the Shell Netherlands Refinery to become CO2 neutral by 2050 or sooner. The research analyses the current knowledge, and future alternatives for furnace heat generation and underlines the need for alternative solutions with net-zero emission impact. Furnaces...master thesis 2021

Boor, Vera (author)Rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere are becoming increasingly problematic, due to the effect of CO2 on climate change. CO2 capture and utilization has high potential as strategy to close the carbon cycle. An example of utilization of CO2 is the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to more valuable compounds. This thesis discusses the electrochemical...master thesis 2020

Brenkman, Jeroen (author)Renewable energy projects, such as wind and solar (PV) parks, are rapidly being built to replace fossil fuel based energy sources. The major drawback of electricity production from renewable sources is that they are intermittent and therefore lead to amismatch between the supply and the demand of energy. Energy storage in the form of hydrogen...master thesis 2019

Noordhoek Hegt, Floris (author)Many regions in the world depend heavily on expensive desalinated water for fresh water consumption, in particular tropical areas. Current mainstream desalination technologies (Reverse Osmosis and Multi-Stage Flash Evaporation) are quite energy intensive and thus costly. Today’s challenge is to design a desalination system that could run with...master thesis 2017
