Tomsjansen, Chérise (author)Fresh water is a scarce source. Demand for freshwater is greater than supply, due to the increasing industrialisation of countries and the low natural supply of freshwater sources such as rivers and lakes. Contamination of these natural freshwater sources by industrial wastewater adds to the freshwater deficit. Throughout history, technologies...master thesis 2023

sharifian, rezvan (author)To mitigate climate change, carbon capture is necessary. In addition to the energy transition towards renewable sources and green house gasses emission reduction, CO2 capture from flue gas and its sinks, including air and the ocean, must be promoted. By 2030, in less than 8 years, the global carbon capture capacity must increase 100 × (from the...doctoral thesis 2022
