Due to increasing urbanization and scarcity of land, the need to include the underground in urban planning is growing, especially in cities. The human-made underground structures generate an anthropogenic heat flow which has a significant impact on the gro ...
The development of biorefineries directed to the production of fuels, chemicals, and energy is important to reduce economic dependence and environmental impacts of a petroleum‐based economy. The last two decades have witnessed a fast industrialization and ...
A major shift in energy systems has started due to drastic changes in climate and air quality, depleting resources, as well as rising social awareness to all these changes. As a result international protocols, such as the Paris agreement, are signed settin ...
Modern ammonia production plants are equipped with efficient energy integration networks able to recover an important fraction of the waste heat exergy available throughout the chemical system. However, in order to drive the endothermic reforming reactions ...
The massive integration of renewable energy, and the electrification of the building heating systems are required in order to meet the Paris agreement’s CO2 emission target. Heat pumps and PV is expected to penetrate quickly in the market come with signifi ...
Different scenarios at different scales must be studied to help define long term policies to decarbonate our societies. In this work, we analyse the Belgian energy system in 2035 for different carbon emission targets, and accounting for electricity, heat, ...
The planning of national power systems is traditionally based on long-term forecasts of electricity demand and fuel prices. However, over such long time horizons (20-50 years), these forecasts often prove to be inaccurate. As an example, wrong projections ...
In this work, the environmental impacts caused by an innovative upcycling process of printed plastic scrap have been assessed through Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodology for the first time. The process consists of removing the inks from the plastic surfa ...
A promising pathway to follow in order to reach sustainable development goals is
an increased reliance on renewable sources of energy. The optimized use of these energy sources,
however, requires the assessment of their potential supply, along with the dem ...
The transition towards more sustainable, fossil-free energy systems is interlinked with a high penetration of stochastic renewables, such as wind and solar. In this context, energy storage technologies of different kinds - namely electrical, thermal and ch ...
