The striving for a sustainable energy system entails an increasing use of renewable energy. Since several renewable energy sources are non-dispatchable (e.g., wind and solar), this development brings challenges in terms of the balance between energy supply and demand. As a result, there is a growing need for demand-side flexibility.The building stock has been highlighted as a promising resource of

The hydrogenation of CO2 into methanol by a nickel pincer catalyst has been studied in both aqueous and solid–gas phases. Hydrogenation occurs at the moderate temperatures of 60–95 °C. The solid–gas phase reaction is found to be more efficient than the aqueous reaction. At 95 °C and 1 MPa of H2/CO2 (3:1), 18 μmol of methanol is generated in the optimized solid–gas phase reaction versus 10 μmol in

This chapter describes small-scale reforming for on-site production of hydrogen. By small scale is meant a production rate higher than 50Nm3h-1. First, an overview of the reformer technology and feedstock options is given and hydrogen purity issues are discussed. Second, examples of suppliers and cost trends are presented. Finally, research related to progress in materials, development of more rob

In the present work, near-limiting hydrogen flames were investigated both experimentally and numerically. Very rich hydrogen + air flames were studied in a constant volume bomb equipped with a pressure sensor and a Schlieren system for optical registration of the flame front movement. The mixtures contained 70% and 75% of hydrogen, the rest being air. The measurements were conducted at pressures f

The integration of heat pumps in low-enthalpy district heating and cooling networks can increase the efficiency and flexibility of the network. In such systems, heat pumps are installed both locally and centrally to serve different functions. In the former case, decentralized heat pumps at each building adjust the low-network temperature to the desired supply temperature. In the latter case, a cen

Using a variety of dedicated surface sensitive techniques, we studied the interaction of hydrogen with bare and adsorbate modified RuO2(110) surfaces on the atomic scale. Hydrogen interacts strongly with the undercoordinated O atoms, thereby forming hydroxyl groups and passivating available oxygen species on the oxide surface, for instance, for the catalytic CO oxidation reaction. Temperature prog

The Theoretical Particle Physics group is mainly active in particle physics phenomenology. Work which relates theory to quantitative predictions for collider experiments. The group is subdivided into smaller, more informal, research groups centered around different research areas, which again are clustered into different categories, centered around the individual researchers' projects. They includ

Aseptic packaging solutions enable long time storage without refrigeration and are an important part of securing food supply globally. The package material consists of multiple layers: A paperboard for robustness, polymers for adhesion as well as shielding the board from liquid, and a barrier protecting the product. This thesis consists of two parts regarding in-plane wetting into the paperboard.

The momentum and energy injection from supernovae is one of the main feedback modes, and is therefore key to the understanding of galaxy evolution and star formation. However, due to low resolution, large scale galaxy simulations often have issues with accurately modelling supernovae, and therefore rely on sub-grid models. This is especially true for the injected momentum, where capturing the mome

The infrared spectra of the H2O, HDO, and D2O complexes with ethylene, propene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, 2-methylpropene, 2-methyl-2-butene, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, 1,3-butadiene, benzene, and naphthalene have been recorded at temperatures from 11 to 20 K. Interaction energies have been estimated. HDO prefers to form a deuterium bond to the unsaturated molecule; however, small amounts of the h

Formation of metal hydrides is a serious complication that occur when hydride forming metals such as zirconium, niobium, vanadium and magnesium are exposed to long term hydrogen environment. The main concern is that the hydride, as being a brittle material, has very poor fracture mechanical properties. Formation of hydride is associated with transportation of hydrogen along the gradients of increa
