Master Lectures on Renewable Fuels

For: HAN Automotive

[May 2023] [May 2022] [Jan – Mar 2020]

At the Automotive department of the HAN University of Applied Science Master students are educated in engine and fuel development and optimisation to secure proper, clean and efficient operation.

In 2020, 2022 and 2023 Eric van den Heuvel provided guest lectures to the Master Students of HAN. In 2022 and 2023 a half day lecture was provided, physically at the HANU University.

In 2020, Eric van den Heuvel provided 8 online guest lectures of one hour each. in the lectures the context of global issues like climate change and resource availability were addressed. The various technology options to produce renewable fuels have been sketched. Developments in road transport, such as electric mobility, next to renewable fuels were elaborated upon. Also the main elements of European and national policy landscape and the details of the regulations in place were discussed. Students were also challenged in greenhouse gas footprint calculations.

Current POME-based biofuels in EU fall within current production potential 

According to studio Gear Up’s numerical analysis, the current volume of POME-biofuels deployed in the EU are in the range of current production volumes of POME residues. We advise to keep a close look on the future volumes of POME-based biofuels, given the upper limits of production. Strengthening the information position of renewable fuels supply chains with more frequent auditing and historical data of POME-oil production are needed.
