Understanding the diffusion of LFGE projects in Africa

A dynamic approach through the lens of technological innovation systems

Population growth, economic development, and urbanisation are resulting in an increase in municipal solid waste, which is often landfilled in African countries. Landfill gas to energy (LFGE) projects utilise the methane emissions of landfills to generate energy. This could benefi ...
This thesis addresses the challenge of end-of-life (EOL) photovoltaic (PV) panel waste management in India through circular innovation strategies. With PV waste estimated to reach 200,000 metric tonnes by 2030, there have been serious concerns about the environment and resource d ...
Air transport, encompassing both passenger and cargo airplanes, is the second-largest energy consumer in the transportation sector, following road vehicles. The passenger sector has seen rapid expansion in recent years, with demand expected to double by 2040. Air cargo, which sur ...
Latin America faces significant environmental and socio-economic challenges due to its predominant "extract, transform, and dispose" economic model. The Circular Economy (CE) offers a crucial alternative by focusing on sustainability through rethinking and redesigning production ...

Introduction Strategies for Vehicle to Grid Technology in the United Kingdom

A comprehensive approach to understand and introduce the technology prior to large-scale diffusion

This work explores of the status of the Technological Innovation System for vehicle-to-grid technology in the UK and derivates relevant strategies that policymakers and companies can use in order to foster its technological adoption.
Aviation is one of the fastest-growing sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and continues to expand its emission footprint due to the growth of the global middle class and expanding international trade. Air cargo in particular is expected to grow rapidly over the next three ...
This study assesses the socioeconomic feasibility of an integrated waste tyre pyrolysis and electricity generation system in the Gauteng region of South Africa. The primary aim of the research is to address two of South Africa’s challenges, waste tyre management and electricity g ...
The global transportation sector's heavy reliance on fossil fuels poses significant environmental challenges. In response, many countries, including Indonesia, are exploring sustainable alternatives like electric vehicles (EVs). With abundant nickel reserves, Indonesia aims to re ...

Multi-criteria Analysis of Sustainable Aviation Fuel Technologies

Integrating Environmental, Economic, Social, and Technical Criteria along with Stakeholder Perspectives to Compare Fast Pyrolysis, Hydrothermal Liquefaction, and HEFA Pathways

The aviation sector, responsible for approximately 2% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, is projected to grow 4-6 times by 2050, conflicting with the European Union’s Green Deal target of achieving net-zero emissions by the same year. While aircraft electrification ...
This master's thesis examines the effects of business model innovation and competitive strategies on the success of high-tech startups in the Netherlands. Understanding how high-tech startups can improve their performance and compete successfully is of utmost relevance given the ...
The linear extract-produce-use-dump material and energy flow model is unsustainable. In this linear model, materials are extracted faster than they can be replenished. There is a need for a different model, a circular economy, as evidenced by the EU’s commitment to this goal. The ...
The increasing water scarcity and the greater EU costs of horticultural production are pushing Morocco in innovating its food sector by transitioning to a more sustainable horticultural production. Sustainable high-tech greenhouses, in particular, is a promising technology for th ...
The global shift towards sustainable and renewable energy sources is an undeniable necessity. Energy communities, grounded in principles of community participation and environmental sustainability, are emerging as key players in driving this transformation. Flanders, a region in ...
Solar Electric Vehicles recently emerged in the market to solve dilemmas that have been hindering the EVs mass uptake: limited driving range, long charging time, and limited charging infrastructures. The SEV utilization is especially interesting for those who live in areas with m ...

Transitioning to zero emission buses for public transport in the Netherlands

Bringing together the Multilevel perspective and the Multiple Streams framework to explain sustainability transitions

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, ...
We are currently experiencing the effects of overconsumption and overproduction in the textile industry due to a linear economy. To tackle this, a prospective solution emerges. A new manufacturing technique toward a circular and carbon neutral path for sustainable development: su ...
In 2021, China is already the largest electric vehicle (EV) market with more than half of global sales. Compared to the situation ten years ago, EV development in China has experienced a huge growth almost from nothing. This development is a complex socio-technical transition pro ...

Analysis of Barriers for development of Green Hydrogen in United Arab Emirates (UAE)

Barrier Analysis using a combination of Best-Worst Method (BWM) and Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) technique

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have one of the highest annual energy consumption per capita and rank within the top 10 countries with highest CO¬2 emissions. All of the countries have low levels of renewable energy share in the total energy consumption. Among these ...

The Sustainability Transitions Platform

A digital innovation platform that serves as a tool for development of sustainability transitions research and as a bridge between theory and practice

Sustainability transitions is a complex multi-dimensional research field. In this field, different frameworks exist that have grown as separate strands while they actually contain many similarities and in some cases can even complement each other. In general, these frameworks try ...
