Modelling the mechanical behaviour of sodium borohydride before, during and after time consolidation using DEM

Currently, one of the biggest challenges humanity faces is climate change. Reduction of fossil fuels is demanded in the future, hence an energy transition is required. A promising potential alternative fuel is the energy carrier NaBH₄ which contains hydrogen (H₂). Handling and storing NaBH₄ provides challenges...

A single-objective, multi-period optimization model of an alternative maritime fuel supply chain network in the Port of Amsterdam

To reduce the CO2 emissions of the maritime industry, several alternative fuels are being researched to possibly achieve this goal. The absence of an infrastructure for alternative fuels in the current port environment is one of the barriers towards implementation of these high potential fuels. The goal of this thesis project was to create an...
