Microbial community evolution and functional dynamics in anaerobic bioreactors for the sustainable production of green energy Ghent University
This doctoral project focusses on microbial diversity in anaerobic digesters and bioelectrochemical systems, which have largely been treated as a black box despite the importance of microbial communities and their associated activities to the functioning of these bioreactors. By combining new ecological principles and molecular techniques with mathematical guidance and statistical analysis, it will be possible to explore the relationship ...
Cracking of Green Ammonia to Hydrogen by Synergistic Combination of Thermocatalysis and Plasma Technology KU Leuven
Ammonia is a promising hydrogen carrier due to its high hydrogen density, but a missing link is an energy-efficient technology for ammonia cracking to produce hydrogen gas. The most explored option is thermocatalytic cracking, but this solution requires high temperatures to achieve near complete conversion, especially when using noble metal-free catalysts. Plasma cracking of ammonia is not limited by the same thermodynamic equilibrium as the ...

Green fiscal policy in high debt and ageing society: low(er) growth and distributional effects matter. Ghent University
In order to combat climate change, economists propose carbon taxation to reduce emissions. Carbon taxes are deemed regressive and increase inequality. Current literature is divided on the ways to combat this adverse effect. Literature on carbon taxation and double dividends has several flaws. Depending on the model, labour market imperfections, heterogeneity and demographic change are missing. These elements are important drivers of inter- ...
