Behavioral and legal barriers to product-service systems KU Leuven
The transition from a linear to a more circular economy that uses fewer materials and causes less negative environmental impact, entails new business models and a shift from buying products to using products (‘servitization’, ‘access-based consumption’). Taking into account behavioral barriers, and in absence of a clear regulatory framework, users feel uncertain and hesitant to engage in new, circular product-service systems (‘PSS’). This ...

TransBio:Biogas Versie 2.0:Â Technological transition of the Flemish biogas sector towards innovative business models with increased profitability and reduced support dependence Biogas-E - Anaerobic digestion platform for Flanders npo
The biogas sector in Flanders counts approx. 40 large scale installations, and 50 to 75 small scale (farm sized) installations. Biogas, as a renewable energy technology, produced 602 GWh of renewable electricity and 850 GWh of renewable heat in 2013. Yearly, 1.3 million tons of organic waste is converted to biogas, alongside hundreds of thousands of tons of manure. The biogas technology is therefore responsible for the valorisation of a large ...
Multiphase Modelling of Sediment Transport and Bed Erosion for the Study of Coastal Morphodynamics KU Leuven
The protection of coastal areas from erosion is an issue of great importance, not only for the hinterland safety but also for ecological, environmental or other reasons such as the recreational use of the coastal areas. In depth Investigation of key features of coastal erosion, such as the wave-induced sediment transport and the associated bed morphology evolution is inevitable in order to understand this process.
Coastal erosion ...
