Rademaker, Siebrand (author)A new simulation tool has been developed to provide insights into the refueling process of hydrogen. The tool is based on existing models, including a 0D gas model and a 1D wall model, which have been refined to assist companies like Future Proof Shipping, which rely on compressed hydrogen tanks. Although the model is still subject to changes...master thesis 2024

Anand, N.R. (author), Motloung, T. (author), Quak, H.J. (author), van Duin, Ron (author)The number of activities in city logistics is growing rapidly causing an increase in emissions, and a decline in accessibility and safety in cities. Therefore, the Dutch government has introduced GreenDeal Zero-emission city logistics. The goal of this deal is to have 30-40 of the biggest municipalities in the Netherlands have zero-emission city...conference paper 2024

van Duin, Ron (author), Anand, N.R. (author), Motloung, T. (author), Quak, H.J. (author)Het aantal activiteiten in de stadslogistiek groeit snel, waardoor de uitstoot toeneemt en de bereikbaarheid en veiligheid in steden afnemen. Volgend op de Green Deal Zero-emissie stadslogistiek (ZES) is daarom in het Klimaatakkoord afgesproken om tot zero emissie stadslogistiek te komen. Concreet betekent dit, dat 30 tot 40 van de grootste...journal article 2024

Scoccimarro, Antonio (author)Hydrogen fuel cells are set to play an important role in decarbonizing the aviation sector. They operate at higher efficiencies than turbine engines, but their low operating temperature requires a dedicated thermal management system. The added drag, weight and parasitic power of such a system has a high impact on aircraft performance and its...master thesis 2023

Abdelhakim, Ahmed (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Stecca, M. (author), Canales, Francisco (author)Compact and efficient power converter solutions are seen to be the backbone of future transportation systems in order to cope with the ongoing transition toward greener systems. Such systems usually comprise a main load section, in which one or more propulsion or traction motors are connected, in addition to an auxiliary load, which might...journal article 2023

Doornebos, Patryk (author), Francis, Moreno (author), le Poole, J.J. (author), Kana, A.A. (author)This paper explores the design and feasibility of a 200-passenger, 30- to 40-knot emission-free ferry as a potential variant of the traditionally powered Coastal Cruiser 200 ferry currently operating in the Chinese Pearl River Delta. The Pearl River Delta is one of China’s most densely urbanized regions and faces numerous social, health, and...journal article 2023

Guerra, Omar J. (author), Almajed, Hussain M. (author), Smith, W.A. (author), Somoza Tornos, A. (author), Hodge, Bri Mathias S. (author)As energy systems across the globe transition toward net-zero emissions, the decarbonization of hard-to-decarbonize sectors, e.g., industry and transportation, is becoming more crucial. Renewable power-driven carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) electrolysis has the potential to facilitate this transition by (1) substituting carbon-intensive...review 2023

Dave, K (author), Gangoli Rao, A. (author)The power sector accounts for ∼40% of global energy-related CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Its decarbonization by switching to low-carbon renewables is essential for a sustainable future. Existing electrical grids, however, have limited capacity to absorb the variability introduced by these new energy sources and rely largely on natural-gas-based...journal article 2023

Jiang, M. (author), Baart, F. (author), Visser, K. (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author)The availability of supporting bunker infrastructure for zero-emission energy sources will be key to accommodate zero-emission inland waterway transport (IWT). However, it remains unclear which (mix of) zero-emission energy sources to prepare for, and how to plan the bunker infrastructure in relative positions and required capacity at corridor...conference paper 2023

Kalpoe, Shaista (author)Zero emission buses (ZEBs) have become an important part of the transition to sustainable urban transport. In 2016 the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment and 14 transport authorities signed a “Zero Emission Regional Public Transport by Bus” administrative agreement, stating that from 2025 onward all new buses must use 100%...master thesis 2022

Doornebos, Patryk (author)Internal combustion engine (ICE) emissions cause numerous social, environmental, health, and economic issues, including extreme weather or harm to public health. These effects are also experienced in the Chinese Pearl River Delta, where a high-speed, 200-passenger ferry named the Coastal Cruiser 200 (CC-200) uses ICEs to operate. The CC-200's...master thesis 2022

Schot, Rick (author)Heavy-duty trucks (HDTs) are a significant contributor to global anthropogenic carbon emissions. In contrary to passenger cars, HDTs have to cope with decarbonization complications due to range and weight characteristics. Overhead catenary electric road systems (ERS-OC) can aid in decarbonizing this sector. Here, trucks are equipped with a...master thesis 2022

Suy, Xander (author)Urgent action is needed to decrease maritime emissions. The renewable wind energy sector must also decrease its life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Total GHG emissions from offshore wind turbines are approximately 120% more compared to onshore wind turbines. Moreover, it is estimated that Walk to Work (W2W) vessels are responsible for 3.3...master thesis 2022

Helmers, Eckard (author), Chang, Chia Chien (author), Dauwels, J.H.G. (author)Universities, as innovation drivers in science and technology worldwide, should attempt to become carbon-neutral institutions and should lead this transformation. Many universities have picked up the challenge and quantified their carbon footprints; however, up-to-date quantification is limited to use-phase emissions. So far, data on embodied...journal article 2022
