Study of the magnesium dust cloud hot surface ignition characteristics in the Godbert-Greenwald furnace KU Leuven
Magnesium dust cloud hot surface ignition characteristics in the Godbert-Greenwald (G-G) furnace are simulated. CFD models and algorithms selected for the simulation are validated through comparison between simulated dust cloud critical ignition temperature (CIT) results and experimental dust cloud minimum ignition temperature (MIT) data. The magnesium dust cloud ignition process in the G-G furnace mainly characterizes three stages: dust ...
Interactive framework for techno-economic meta-analysis of marine hydrogen transportation KU Leuven
As a result of the wide span of uncertainties and input variables considered in recent peer-reviewed studies on hydrogen supply chains, consensus and generalized insight are hard to derive. This work presents a meta-analysis model, building upon a growing database of literature cost estimations and enabling dynamic investigation and comparison of hydrogen transportation chains under varying input scenarios. Also built into the framework is the ...
Data-driven Policymaking and Monitoring for the Circular Economy: conceptualization of data sources and information types KU Leuven
The EU Green Deal and the ensuing policies and regulations to stimulate the transition toward a circular economy pose challenges to policymakers and authorities. Taking planetary boundaries into account is a nascent topic on all regulatory levels, and data-driven policymaking and its implementation require the collection and access to new types of data in all policy-making phases, from agenda-setting to policy formulation, implementation, and ...
Review of machine learning applications for predicting the quality of biomass briquettes for sustainable and low-carbon energy solutions KU Leuven
This review discusses how Machine Learning has been applied to predict the quality of biomass briquettes produced from agricultural and municipal solid organic waste, which are crucial for advancing green and low-carbon energy solutions. Traditional methods of assessment of briquette quality involve destructive laboratory experiments, do not favor sample reuse, are time-consuming, and labor-intensive, posing barriers to efficient production. ...
Beyond compliance: Designing value-creating, service-oriented, and integrated product passports that contribute to the circular economy KU Leuven
Product passports (PPs) are the newest instance of transaction systems that try to mitigate the information gaps between stakeholders and foster the Circular Economy (CE). Regulators progressively prescribe its implementation and use. However, the contributions of PP systems to the CE are not self-evident, as some systems fail to deliver added value to the sustainability of organizations or society. This design science research investigates how ...
Life Cycle Assessment of Artificial Intelligence Applications: Research Gaps and Opportunities KU Leuven
A conceptualization of green governmental monitoring systems through an affordance-actualization lens KU Leuven
Sustainability has emerged as an important topic in policy debates, necessitating urgent actions to guide societies towards a liveable future. However, bridging the gap between scientific research and policymaking remains a challenge. Green monitoring systems hold promise in translating scientific insights into actionable information for policymakers. Despite this potential, limited research explores how these systems benefit policymakers across ...
