Ongoing Projects

The project aims to address the challenges of adopting hydrogen (H2) in hard-to-abate industries (HTAIs) through a hybrid approach using digital tools and state-of-the-art experimental techniques.

  The H2GridTwin project aims at developing a digital twin for a future hydrogen-to-grid living lab.

This MSCA Doctoral Network within the Horizon Europe Framework Programme will create a generalized hybrid machine learning-based digital infrastructure capable of predicting the impact of Renewable Synthetic Fuels (RSF) in energy-intensive industries (EIIS).

COUNTER: Integrating wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations to a deeper level: A novel methodology using structured data-driven models  An important challenge in the operation and maintenance of wind turbines is the accurate prediction of the unsteady aerodynamic and hydrodynami...

The Citizens4PED project aims at contributing to the development of Positive Energy Districts (PED) in four existing neighbourhoods in Belgium, Austria and Italy, by intertwining several dimensions: techno-energetic, socio-economic, and institutional/policy.

The FLEX-CHP project aims at quantifying the potential contribution of biomass- and waste-fired Combined Heat and Power (CHP) unit to the safety of supply and to the network balance in Belgium.

The H2-HeatNet project aims at developping a planification tool for the integration of hydrogen-based energy systems into urban district heating networks.

The CIREC project investigates uncertainties related to international material flows that can have a strong impact on the security of electricity supply.
