Prediction of oil and gas pipeline failures through machine learning approaches: A systematic reviewAl-Sabaeei, Abdulnaser M. (author), Alhussian, Hitham (author), Abdulkadir, Said Jadid (author), Jagadeesh, A. (author)Pipelines are vital for transporting oil and gas, but leaks can have serious consequences such as fires, injuries, pollution, and property damage. Therefore, preserving pipeline integrity is crucial for a safe and sustainable energy supply. The rapid progress of machine learning (ML) technologies provides an advantageous opportunity to...review 2023

Hoeksma, Bram (author)Currently, our society faces a pressing challenge: global warming. The solution lies in the energy transition, which replaces fossil fuels with clean sources. This requires a global effort across all sectors, including shipping. While a significant portion of shipping relies on polluting fuels, the European Union’s Green Deal aims for climate...master thesis 2023

Breman, Carlotta (author)With finance entering the real economy, new kinds of markets have emerged, such as futures markets, in which special contracts – called futures – are exchanged. From the early 2000s, futures on commodities have become popular among financial instruments, and we talk about "financialization of commodity markets". The uniqueness of commodity...master thesis 2023

Soeterbroek, Marijn (author)The study is motivated by the abandonment of vernacular architecture in rural tropics, which has led to greater energy demand due to the higher embodied energy of construction materials and increased use of air conditioning. This research examines how and to what extent bioclimatic strategies in vernacular architecture of dwellings in a tropical...master thesis 2023

Wubs, Thije (author)This study sets out to assess the material based consequences of changes in future oil demand. In doing so, this study aims to quantify the physical, industrial petroleumscape. To achieve this, the evolution of the world’s petroleum infrastructures are modelled based on two SSP2 scenarios; a baseline scenario and a 1.5-degree scenario. This...master thesis 2023

Dekker, Victor (author)Due to financial and environmental benefits, the interest in high-temperature heat pumps, producing heat sinks above 100 °C, is rising. Research is intensifying, and technology is developing fast. However, of all the components of the heat pump cycle, the oil management system seems to be the least investigated, even though 12% of the faults in...master thesis 2023

(author), Liu, M. (author), Levelt, Pieternel Felicitas (author)Emissions of methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) in the Permian basin (USA) have been derived for 2019 and 2020 from satellite observations of the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) using the divergence method, in combination with a data driven method to estimate the background column densities. The resulting CH<sub>4</sub> emission data,...journal article 2023
