Breedijk, David (author)As part of the Dutch government’s ambitions to realise significant offshore wind energy capacity (70 gigawatts (GW) by 2050), the Port of Rotterdam is to become a hydrogen hub for North-Western Europe. To achieve this, it is expected that around 20 megatonnes (Mt) of hydrogen could be throughput in the Port of Rotterdam, out of which 2 Mt will...master thesis 2023

Rodenburg, Sieb (author)Green hydrogen is anticipated to be pivotal in the decarbonisation of global energy systems. For the Netherlands, both domestic production and imports of green hydrogen are believed to be needed for effective decarbonisation. Yet, significant uncertainty surrounds the cost discrepancy between domestic productions and initial imports, largely...master thesis 2023

Wagener, Hans (author)Dutch offshore wind farms are primarily located near the coast and connected to the grid, but as offshore wind farms continue to expand and occupy more space, developers are turning to deeper waters. However, installing traditional monopile or jacket structures in these deeper waters can be expensive. One potential solution is the Dogger Bank, a...master thesis 2023

Stroo, Aike (author)Methane pyrolysis is a technology that has the potential to greatly reduce the CO2 emissions of hydrogen production on a large scale. The process generates solid carbon instead of gaseous, thereby inhibiting emissions and has a relatively low process energy demand.<br/><br/>A three-step approach was taken to investigate the feasibility of...master thesis 2023

SIACHOS, KONSTANTINOS (author)The North Sea has significant potential in becoming a green energy hub, due to its remarkable offshore wind potential, and could therefore facilitate the energy transition to a net-zero energy system in Europe in the coming decades. In this transition, hydrogen is also predicted to play a key role, due to its ability to transport and store...master thesis 2022

Draijer, Pieter-Bas (author)The vast amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, surging gas prices, and increasing proportion of intermittent energy sources force the energy sector to structurally modify the energy system. The reversible Solid Oxide Cell (rSOC) is considered to be part of the solution due to its high efficiency, good scalability, and ability to balance the...master thesis 2022

Linck, Charlie (author)Vopak has the vision to become climate neutral by 2050 (Scope 1 and 2 emissions). Currently, over 99% of its CO2 emissions originate from storage terminal activities. Action must be taken to reduce these emissions by converting the current (fossil fuel-based) generation of electricity to sustainable energy.<br/><br/>This study aims to research...master thesis 2022

Juncker, Jesse (author)The maritime sector plays an important role in energy transition because offshore vessels are used for building offshore renewables but also have high emissions. The European Union (EU) has determined that from 2025 the maritime sector must pay per ton of CO2 emission. Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC) is an essential player in the maritime...master thesis 2022

Knöbel, Diaz (author)A radical change of the energy system is required in light of the dramatic effects of human-induced climate change. In this perspective, a future renewable hydrogen energy system was proposed, where biogenic resources are ascribed relevant potential as source of biogenic hydrogen and biogenic carbon dioxide. In this light, the research brings...master thesis 2022

Doodeman, Rogier (author)The European Green Deal states that it wants to develop 40 GW of electrolyzer capacity by 2030 in North Africa to combat climate change. Using PV power as the primary energy source, a system is designed that can produce green hydrogen and ammonia to investigate how the location and the capacity of the components can be optimized to produce at...master thesis 2022

Kooter, Mick (author)Implementing green alternatives in the heavy-duty mobility market is required to reach the set climate goals of 2050 and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Refuelling infrastructures based on alternative fuels such as hydrogen are not sufficiently available. This poses a barrier to large scale implementation and investment in new emission free...master thesis 2022

Hermans, Ewoud (author)In order to reach the climate goals the use of fossil fuels needs to decrease and green solution need to provide the energy of the future. Wind and solar will probably supply a large fraction of our electrical power need in the future. Because of the nature of these sources the demand for electrical power will not always be balanced with the...master thesis 2022

Eradus, Deirdre (author)This thesis aims to analyze the techno-economic feasibility of integrating a salt cavern storage system into a green hydrogen production system in the Dutch North Sea, with the objective to provide a constant green hydrogen supply to the industry sector. To this end, the potential for creating salt caverns in the North Sea was examined and the...master thesis 2022

Kuiper, Joël (author)Hydrogen offers opportunities to develop a sustainable energy system and is essential to support the EU’s commitment to reaching carbon neutrality by 2050. Hydrogen is a solution for heavy transport sectors that struggle to reduce emissions by direct electrification, such as the Dutch inland waterway transport (IWT) sector. However, the lack of...master thesis 2022

Reith, Pieter (author)Since the European Commission concluded that green hydrogen is a key priority in the achievement of Europe’s energy transition, hydrogen is included in transition strategies of many parties. The Netherlands has the ambition to become the European leader of hydrogen deployment within their strategy. The oversea import of hydrogen is highly needed...master thesis 2022

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
