Kroes, Matthijs (author)<br/>The rise of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is a leading cause of global warming. Utilizing CO2 ob- tained from point sources, such as chemical industries, as a feedstock to produce high energy density fuels and chemicals could mitigate the emission of CO2 as well as provide various economic bene- fits. One promising technology is the...master thesis 2023

Cabeza, Camila (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), van der Steen, Peter (author)Microalgae-bacteria biomass was digested through anaerobic digestion (AD) to produce biogas. Since microalgae typically have a more resistant cell wall than activated sludge (AS), its anaerobic biodegradability is limited. Therefore, three different pre-treatment techniques were evaluated for their effect on anaerobic biodegradability,...journal article 2023

Gonzales, A. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), de Kreuk, M.K. (author)The pre-treatment of waste activated sludge (WAS) has become more common since it often results in improved bioconversion to methane, in both rate and extent. However, thorough insights on the possible effects and mechanisms of mild pre-treatment techniques, such as temperatures <100 °C combined with the addition of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2<...journal article 2022
