The Earth is experiencing an increase in global surface temperature due to a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions, mainly caused by the production of fossil-fuel-based energy using non-renewable resources. The heavy industries, predominantly comprising refineries, are the primary contributors to these emissions. As the primary source...

The European Union has set out to become carbon neutral by 2050. To reach this goal, the fossil-fuel-dominated energy system must be transformed into a low-carbon renewable-based energy system. One method proposed to reduce fossil-fuel dependence is to establish a renewable hydrogen supply chain between Africa and the European Union. This work...

Offshore wind is a rapidly maturing renewable energy technology and is expected to play a central role in future energy systems. It has the potential to generate more than 420,000 TWh per year worldwide, an amount approximately equal to eighteen times the global electricity demand today. While many of the most abundantly resourceful sites are at...

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) that are integrated with the electricity grid have proven to be a suitable solution for reducing costs by providing flexible demand, but are often uneconomical when used solely for this purpose. Despite the research efforts showing the benefits of an energy-integrated harbor-area smart grid (HASG), the...

According to International Energy Agency (IEA), the demand for high value chemicals (HVC) will increase by 60% to a total of 400 Mt/year by 2050, leading to an increase of 30% in direct CO2 emissions. However, the Paris agreement forces the sector to reduce its emissions by 90-100% in 2050 compared to 1990. This induces the need for a more...

Urban energy systems are the key elements of combating the climate crisis as the energy transition is crucial to curb greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas, one of the main drivers of climate change. As such, there is a great effort in Amsterdam to phase out natural gas use by 2040, and to become carbon neutral by 2050. It is a great challenge...

To face the ongoing climate crisis, the Dutch government adopted a number of policies and measures to limit its greenhouse gas emissions. It is estimated that 10% of Dutch annual emissions are caused by the built environment, a large portion of which come from two sources: space heating and domestic hot water.<br/>The use of heat pumps is said...

Due to climate change, the growth in renewable energy is still accelerating and reaching new records each year. Not everything can be electrified, hence, the production of green hydrogen as an energy vector is gaining momentum. However, lowest cost hydrogen will not always be produced at the demand centres, necessitating transport of hydrogen...

Ambitious decarbonization targets are introduced to combat climate change. According to the European Commission, sector coupling is required to achieve these targets. This includes the inclusion of renewables into sectors that are difficult to decarbonize, but also using resources more efficient, and introducing new clean fuels. Recent research...

The Paris agreement has set European countries on a path towards decarbonization of the energy market. Due to the high dependence of natural gas in the Netherlands, various challenges will be faced when facing out fossil fuels. The major drawback of RES is that they are non-dispatchable, meaning their output generation fluctuates over time with...

Perforated monopiles show promise in providing a better alternative to the commonly used jacket-like substructures used in intermediate water depths in the range of 30 to 120 m. By introducing perforations near the vicinity of the splash zone the wave loads on the monopile can be mitigated and the fatigue damage reduced, which is the main...
