SuPER-W - Sustainable Resource, Product and Energy Recovery from Wastewater / Model-based knowledge buildup of mixing behavior in anaerobic digesters with view of maximizing performance Ghent University
In many cases energy, water and resources contained in wastewater may have significant value if recovered. Therefore, the EU is currently confronted with a paradigm shift from wastewater treatment to resource recovery. To facilitate this shift, the SuPER-W European Joint Doctorate programme trains early-stage researchers (ESRs) in developing technologies for water, energy, nutrient and metal reuse, and bioproduction from (waste)water. The ...
Development of a methodology to automatically quantify district energy use in support of designing district energy systems KU Leuven
To prevent climate change from progressing rapidly, greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced drastically. The built environment represents a large share of the energy use and has therefore a great potential in overcoming this challenge, by increasing the energy efficiency and integrating renewable energy sources. It is important that these measures are studied on a district or city level to include the synergy effects that result from the ...

H2-MHytic: H2 BY MEMBRANE INTEGRATED HIGH SURFACE AREA NANOMESH TECHNOLOGY VITO (Flemish institute for technological research)
Renewable electricity production has developed enormously in recent decades and has since become the lowest-cost option. One of the main challenges concerns the integration of these time-unstable production sources into the electricity supply network ("grid"), while avoiding peak production destabilizing this network. Local sources of renewable electricity, such as wind farms, ...
Fighting icing Sirris, the collective centre for the technological industry
Summary
Fighting icing project is translating the state of the art knowledge and solutions to detect, prevent and mitigate icing problems in various applications to structured and concrete methodologies for implementations. Specific attention is given to the atmospheric icing in low and moderate temperate climates such as in Belgium and similar regions. This is done by recreating the relevant icing events in a laboratory ...
