Perovskites are mainly known in the field of solar cells. Researchers from IMO-IMOMEC, within EnergyVille, and colleagues from KU Leuven, UGent and UAntwerpen, are tuning perovskites also for other applications. It is the combination of good opto-electronic properties with …

In 2017, a worldwide capacity of 100 GWp of PV was installed, a value which is expected to increase in the years to come. This is more than a prediction but a requirement to meet the renewable energy targets set by policy makers, and decarbonise future electricity generation …

Decarbonising the energy consumption in buildings is essential to achieve the EU energy and climate goals. While the use of renewable electricity in buildings has grown steadily, the uptake of renewable energy solutions for heating and cooling has been slower. The EU Horizon …

The PROCURA project looks at the role of power-to-X in multi-energy systems and markets. Scenario studies worldwide show that Power-to-x (gas (e.g. H2, Methane), chemicals, liquid fuels) and Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) can become crucial technologies in achieving …

The ROLECS project is a FLUX50 VLAIO-funded research project to transform the energy landscape in line with the position of the European Commission: more sustainable and with active participation of the end consumer. The concept aimed at by this project is Local Energy …

The Excess project brings together 21 partners from 8 European countries and is coordinated by the Joanneum Research Institute. The aim of this 4-year project is to show that it is possible to transform nearly-zero energy buildings into positive energy buildings (PEBs). This …

AmBIENCE (Active managed Buildings with Energy performaNce Contracting) is a European project coordinated by EnergyVille/VITO. The main goal of this project is to enhance and refine the energy performance contracting models and extend the models to Active Building …

TEESMAT is a platform (or OITB) dedicated to material characterisation for Li-ion batteries, Na-ion batteries, Li all-solid batteries, Printed Zn/Li batteries, Lead-acid batteries, Metal-air batteries, redox flow batteries, supercapacitors and any kind of other …

Worldwide competition is fierce, and in order to maintain world-leadership in complex, value-added and highly specialised vessels European shipbuilders must develop tailor-made innovative concepts that are efficient to design and build.

Demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is rapidly increasing and, according to the European Green Vehicle Initiative Association (EGVIA), a significant increase of acceptance of EVs can come only via further and significant cost reductions and elimination/limitations of …

Nowadays, the most common battery is the wet lithium ion battery which contains a liquid electrolyte. It is typically used for portable electronics, as well as home batteries and electric cars to store renewable energy locally. These wet batteries have gone through quite an …
