Chandrasekaran, S. (author), Wammes, Puck (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author)Advanced biofuels from thermochemical liquefaction, such as pyrolysis (PY) and Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), of olive residues in the Andalusian region of Spain (specifically in the province of Jaen) can potentially play a crucial role in the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the maritime sector. In this study, an...book chapter 2023

Tafjord, Joakim (author), Regli, Samuel K. (author), Dugulan, A.I. (author), Rønning, Magnus (author), Rytter, Erling (author), Holmen, Anders (author), Myrstad, Rune (author), Yang, J. (author)Transition metals supported on carbons play an important role in catalysis and energy storage. By pyrolysis of metal alginate, highly active catalysts for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) can be produced. However, the evolution of the carbon (alginate) and transition metal (Fe<sup>3+</sup>) during pyrolysis remains largely unknown and was...journal article 2022

Tsekos, C. (author), Tandurella, S. (author), de Jong, W. (author)As the push towards more sustainable ways to produce energy and chemicals intensifies, efforts are needed to refine and optimize the systems that can give an answer to these needs. In the present work, the use of neural networks as modelling tools for lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis main products yields estimation was evaluated. In order to...journal article 2021

van Beek, Max (author)Presently, the majority of the worlds energy supply is dependent on fossil fuels. As these fuels area limited resource and have significant negative side effects, the way humanity uses these is unsustainable and other sources of energy have to be found. One of these sustainable energy sources is plant-derived biomass. However, biomass cannot be...bachelor thesis 2020

Kwakkenbos, Maarten (author)The effort to reduce global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions has caused a growing interest in the use of sustainable energy sources. One of the potentially sustainable energy sources considered as an alternative for the currently used fossil sources is biomass. Biomass is organic matter that originates from plants or animals which can be...master thesis 2020

(author), Kienzl, Norbert (author)The large variations found in literature for the activation energy values of main biomass compounds (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) in pyrolysis TGA raise concerns regarding the reliability of both the experimental and the modelling side of the performed works. In this work, an international round robin has been conducted by 7 partners...journal article 2020

Giuntoli, J. (author)This dissertation deals with the characterization of several biomass materials under thermal conversion conditions using small--scale equipment. The fuels are tested under the conditions of slow and fast heating rate pyrolysis and combustion, with the main goal of investigating the chemistry of fuel--bound nitrogen. New energy policies put...doctoral thesis 2010

Van der Dussen, J. (author), Farrelly, A. (author), Kort, G. (author), Twigt, V. (author), Weng, H. (author)The aim of this project was to evaluate the possibility of building an economically viable SWR-plant while conforming to predetermined constraints and criteria. Globally, 117-million t/a ethylene is produced. The plant designed produces 1 Mt/a ethylene. The feedstock available is provided from neighbouring ethane-producing facilities....report 2006
