Low-carbon hydrogen is an essential element in the transition to net-zero emissions by
2050. Hydrogen production from biomass is a promising bio-energy with carbon capture and …

Renewable electricity-based fuels and chemicals are expected to play an ever-growing role
in future sustainable energy systems. e-Fuels and e-chemicals are crucial for the …

The electroreduction of CO2, driven by renewable electricity, can be used to sustainably
generate synthetic fuels. So far, only copper-based materials have been used to catalyse the …

Mitigating life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of plastics is perceived as energy intensive
and costly. We developed a bottom-up model that represents the life cycle of 90% of global …

Research on 100% renewable energy systems is a relatively recent phenomenon. It was
initiated in the mid-1970s, catalyzed by skyrocketing oil prices. Since the mid-2000s, it has …

The rapid growth of plastics production exacerbated the triple planetary crisis of habitat loss,
plastic pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Circular strategies have been …

Following current trends, the global chemical industry is set to become the largest consumer
of fossil fuels. Among energy intensive industries, the chemical industry is one of the most …

The chemical industry is responsible for about 5% of global CO 2 emissions and is key to
achieving net-zero targets. Decarbonizing this industry, nevertheless, faces particular …

Defossilisation of the current fossil fuels dominated global energy system is one of the key
goals in the upcoming decades to mitigate climate change. Sharp reduction in the costs of …

In the developed world, individuals spend most of their time indoors. Poor Indoor Air Quality
(IAQ) has a wide range of effects on human health. The burden of disease associated with …
