Nautical Sunrise: Survivability assessment, cost reduction pathways and environmental evaluation of offshore installed floating solar energy farms. Hasselt University
Survivability assessment, cost redUction pathways and eNvironmental evaluation of offshoRe Installed floating Solar energy farms KU Leuven
Europe is currently in a transition away from its dependency on Russian gas towards a fully renewable, reliable, and low-cost energy system by 2050. To achieve this target, large-scale renewable energy projects are essential. However, the transition is limited by several factors such as onshore space availability to deploy GW-scale projects, supply chain disruptions, and concerns from various stakeholders around visual pollution and space ...
Development and evaluation of nutritional strategies to reduce and prevent obesity in shift workers KU Leuven
