Residential heating using heat pumps and hot water storage tanks - Tank sizing to minimize environmental impact in a renewable energy context KU Leuven
Global warming caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission is expected to have long lasting effects on the environment, ecosystems and human society in the near future unless emissions are decreased. Electrifying residential heating loads through the use of heat pumps, can contribute to reducing residential greenhouse gas emissions. The addition of a dedicated thermal energy storage tank can provide additional flexibility to the ...

Binders and Monoliths from Bauxite Residue (Red Mud) KU Leuven
Bauxite residue (BR), the alkaline waste produced in the Bayer process for the production of alumina is generated in vast amounts and is essentially landfilled on disposal sites. An increasing lack of storage area, several accidents as well as potential risks for health and environment have led to a rethinking in the bauxite residue management. Currently, the reuse rate in the construction sector is approximately 1 %, which is mainly due to ...
