Sustainable use of (cleaned) sulphidic mining waste in building ceramics KU Leuven
Waste materials should be seen as potential resources, which can help decreasing the pressure on the primary raw materials sector and the external market dependence within the European Union. A material’s passport, where the full characterisation and valorisation routes of (waste) materials can be given is a must to shift towards a more circular approach within the raw materials sector and boost more industrial symbiosis. After construction ...
International Master of Science in Sustainable and Innovative Natural Resource Management Ghent University
The International Master of Science in Sustainable and Innovative Natural Resource Management (SINReM) programme educates a new range of professionals focused on developing technology, engineering and re-inventing the value chain to make it more sustainable. SINReM gives its students a broad view on the entire value chain and its different aspects. They acquire knowledge on the different (technological) options for optimizing flows of ...
Fabrication and characterization of scalable ion exchange membranes for hybrid photo-reactor for artificial photosynthesis KU Leuven
Anthropogenic greenhouse emission from industry and households heavily related to fossil fuel-based energy generation is one of the main factors that caused rapid climate change in the last decades. Due to constantly increasing energy demands driven by economic and demographic growth, there are pressing needs for gaining independence from fossil fuels. This goal should be reached in combination with limiting greenhouse emissions to counteract ...
Exploration of alternative raw materials for application in the food sector Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Food producers are tending to use increasingly diverse plant-based ingredients and raw materials for reasons of taste, nutritional value, functionality, and also because of lifestyle, sustainability or health image. Growers, ingredient producers and processors who want to respond to this trend (and sometimes niche market) need clear, scientifically verified, technical information. CROPEXPLORE ...
