van den Brink, Mark (author)Capillary barrier systems (CBSs) have been demonstrated to be effective in deviating infiltration in a landfill cover. However, their performance when combined with a cover soil optimised for methane oxidation had not been tested in the field yet. This study aimed to describe the water balance of a test field where such a configuration was built...master thesis 2023

Patibandla, Akul Sai (author)There is an increase in the amount of CO2 emissions in the past few decades and the process of capturing it back is at a much lower rate. The need of the hour is to reduce the emission rate or even avoid producing them in certain aspects. There is a transition towards renewable energy sources<br/>that could help us maintain the balance required....master thesis 2023

Verburg, Dylan (author)On the 14th of July 2013, a methane peak was observed in the Gale crater. This methane peak has been investigated in a non-biological context before. This study applies exoplanet research strategies and knowledge about biological methane production on Earth to investigate the biological context. Bayes formula is the foundation of the Bayesian...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

Peng, C. (author), May, Ali (author), Abeel, T.E.P.M.F. (author)BackgroundEnteric methane from cow burps, which results from microbial fermentation of high-fiber feed in the rumen, is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. A promising strategy to address this problem is microbiome-based precision feed, which involves identifying key microorganisms for methane production. While machine...journal article 2023

Bahgat, T.M.S.M. (author), Wilfert, P.K. (author), Korving, Leon (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)The study evaluated the combined phosphorus, nitrogen, methane, and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) recovery from aerobic granular sludge (AGS) wastewater treatment plants. About 30% of sludge organics are recovered as EPS and 25–30% as methane (≈260 ml methane/g VS) by integrating alkaline anaerobic digestion (AD). It was shown that...journal article 2023

(author), Van Oijen, Jeroen (author), Somers, Bart (author)In the current work, the Flamelet Generated Manifold (FGM) method is applied with large-eddy simulation (LES) to investigate the effect of methane on dual-fuel (DF) spray ignition. The diesel surrogate n-dodecane is injected as the so-called pilot fuel into selected lean methane–air mixtures, ranging from ϕ<sub>CH<sub>4</sub></sub>=0 to ϕ<sub...journal article 2023

Hu, L. (author), Pinto, D. (author), Urakawa, A. (author)Direct valorization of methane via oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is an encouraging alternative to conventional oil-based processes for the production of light hydrocarbons (ethane and ethylene). Abundant, inexpensive simple oxides such as MgO and La<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> possess the ability to selectively activate methane. However,...journal article 2023

(author)Application of biochar to landfill cover soils can purportedly improve methane (CH4) oxidation rates, but understanding the combined effects of soil texture, compaction, and biochar on the activity and composition of the methanotrophs is limited. The amendment of wood biochar on two differently textured landfill cover soils at three compaction...journal article 2023

Rindhe, Pratik (author)Since the pre-industrial era, methane has contributed as much as 0.5°C to global warming. With a global warming potential of 28-34 times that of CO2 over 100 years, and with 80 times the warming power of CO2 in the first 20 years, methane has a large impact on climate change. Measurements from the satellite instrument TROPOMI help inform on the...master thesis 2022
