Highly efficient and robust carbon-free emission engines using direct-injection, spark-ignited hydrogen VIVES
A combined modelling-experimental investigation of the reaction kinetics of carbon-limiting and zero-carbon processes Ghent University
The macroscopic behaviour of a material is determined by the structure of the material on microscopic level (the microstructure). This microstructure and how it evolves are determined by the rate or kinetics of various reactions. During metallurgical production processes, metals can be obtained from metal-oxides by reduction reactions. For this, reductive agents, such as carbon or
cokes are used and the kinetics of the reduction ...
Igniting Sustainable Energy: Spark Ignited Stratified Combustion for Future Power-to-Fuel-to-Power Systems Ghent University
The current energy system, based on fossil resources, has led to increased global temperatures, and poor air quality. A new, defossilized, sustainable energy system is needed. This requires replacing the current energy carriers. Future energy systems will be supported by a Power-to-Fuel-to-Power (PtFtP) principle. The main route in such systems is electrification, as it is the most efficient route. However, due to the intermittency of ...

Geometric, Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Transition Metal Doped Silicon Clusters, and Development of a Magnetic Deflection Setup KU Leuven
The aim of the work presented in this thesis is to provide deeper understanding on the geometric, electronic, and magnetic properties of gas phase clusters as a function of size and composition using a combination of the spectroscopic techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The thesis is divided into four parts. A review of recent research on the structural identification of doped silicon clusters is given in Part I. In ...
Geophysical surveys and interpretation geotechnical soil investigation outside Zeebrugge harbor sediment and landfill sites S1 under Flemish bays Ghent University
in a first dee mission is twofold and includes! carrying out seismic measurements as a function of the detailed mapping of the lithology and stratigraphy of the Quaternary, Neogeen and the top of the paleogene at the height of the outer side of the port of Zeebrugge. In this warden specific techniques and methods employed that result in an image of the layer structure, as far as possible, oak in the zones with natural gas, previously ...
Sustainable Banking KU Leuven
The financial sector can play a decisive role in facilitating the transition to a green economy, by providing more or less favorable financing conditions to green and brown economic activities. The banking sector should play an important role towards achieving the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. The policy framework may further contribute to this by setting appropriate and effective incentives. We intend to analyze the benefits and the ...
