A multi-scale analysis on electrohydrodynamic drying technology forbio-based & food products

Background Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) drying relies on the generation of a corona wind that is created with ahigh electric potential between an emitter and a ground electrode. The impinging corona wind...

Anomalous enhanced swelling of charged copolymer gels

Highlights Abstract Copolymer gels are a class of hydrogels that possess at least two different monomers within the same polymer chain. A common method for synthesizing copolymer gels is the...

Carbon feedstock transition of the petrochemical industry under spatial limitations

This report provides an analysis of the transition pathways for the Harbour Industrial Cluster (HIC) in Rotterdam, accounting for the effect of limited space and exploring the effect of global...

Pyrolysis of Polyolefin-Enriched Mixed Plastic Waste Streams: Effects of Pretreatments and Presence of Hydrogen during Pyrolysis

Pyrolysis is considered a promising method for the chemical recycling of mixed plastic waste streams, yet systematic experimental evaluations of these mixed streams remain limited. Herein, the pyrolysis of a...

Pyrolysis of polyethylene: chemical kinetics, mass transfer, and reflux system

This paper focusses on the interplay between reaction kinetics and mass transfer rates in pyrolysis of polyethylene (PE), and the effect of adding a reflux system to the semibatch reactor...

Single droplet drying to steer particle agglomeration during spray drying

Large scale food processes allow mass-production of well-preservable food materials, such as powders produced by spray drying. However, the food industry is consuming a lot of energy, and drying is...

Losses and emissions in polypropylene recycling from household packaging waste

In this study the LEMPLAR consortium replicated a typical high-quality post-consumer polypropylene (PP) recycling process to investigate its losses and emissions and study potential improvements.
white paper BECC(U)S

White paper: BECC(U)S in de verkenning van toekomstige energiesystemen

In dit white paper lees je waarom De Tekenkamer van de Industrie stelt dat BECC(U)S als relevante optie voor CO₂-vrij regelbaar opwekvermogen niet bij voorbaat mag worden uitgesloten.

How Explainable AI can accelerate the digital transformation of the industry

This white paper explores how XAI can revolutionise data collection, analytics, and visualisation, making AI more accessible and trustworthy.
DC report

New electrical layout and converters for GW green hydrogen plant

The Institute for Sustainable Process Technology (ISPT), in cooperation with Hitachi Energy and consortium partners Equinor, HyCC, Ørsted, Port of Rotterdam, and Yara, has completed a feasibility study to explore...

Report on the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)

This Greenberg Traurig, LLP (“GT") Report sets out some possible implications of CBAM for the HyScaling Project.
Varieties of industrial policy

Varieties of industrial policy: the case of upscaling electrolyser manufacturing in Flanders and Germany

This study examined the strategies and approaches to upscale electrolyser production in Flanders and Germany, and the lessons the Netherlands can draw from them.
hydrogen

The public perception of green hydrogen in the Netherlands

This report dives into the Dutch public’s perception of green hydrogen, offering key findings and actionable recommendations for stakeholders and practitioners.
De Groene Industrie Dialoog

De Groene Industrie Dialoog

Jonge denkers en ervaren experts gingen met elkaar in gesprek over de energietransitie en circulaire materialentransitie. Hoe kunnen wij ons welvaartsniveau behouden zonder daarbij de planetaire grenzen te overschrijden? In...

Pyrolysis of Real Packaging Plastic Waste Streams in a Fluidized-Bed Pilot Plant

Pyrolysis of different packaging plastics waste streams (DKR350) and films/foils (DKR310) was conducted at the pilot scale in a fluidized-bed reactor at 500 °C and 5 kg h−1 with the...

Volatile organic contaminants in HDPE milk bottles along the mechanical recycling value chain, revealing origins and contamination pathways

To progress towards closed-loop recycling of plastic packages, it is vital to understand the origin of contaminants and to develop effective mitigation strategies. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) milk bottles were sampled...

Strategies to enhance the circularity of non-bottle PET packaging waste based on a detailed material characterisation

The circularity of non-bottle PET packaging remains a challenge to improve. This article discusses several ways to enhance the recyclability of various PET tray products.

Liquid-Gas Interface Deformations in Atomization

The simulation studies performed in this work represent a stepping stone towards the use of LFRM in the simulation of spray systems present in spray drying applications.
Hyscaling webinar part 2

Webinar: Economic and Public Aspects of Green Hydrogen Production

During this webinar we explored the economic and public aspects of green hydrogen production.
Next steps towards an autonomous large-scale hydrogen plant

Next steps towards an autonomous large-scale hydrogen plant

Part of the HyScaling project is to develop an operating strategy for large-scale green hydrogen alkaline water electrolyzer plants. Given a greenfield situation and high labor costs for 24/7 chemical...
