About the research
We are producing more and more renewable energy. To transport and store it, we can use hydrogen. One problem though: hydrogen is highly flammable and therefore highly combustible. So how do we store hydrogen safely? That is what Joren Vanlaere (VUB - ULB) is investigating. He wants to use software to find out where best to place hydrogen detectors in order to detect any leaks quickly before there is a risk of fire and explosion.

Bringing state-of-the-art climate research into industry
Do you think we will be able to stop CO2 emissions by 2050? Because that's what we need to do to fight climate change. Worldwide, an estimated one million researchers are currently working on solutions for climate change. At Hasselt University, Talieh Rajabloo is mapping state-of-the-art climate research & technologies that can help energy-intensive industries such as the petrochemical and metal sectors reduce their CO2 emissions.

Helping enterprises that hold the key to a sustainable world
Have you ever heard of Boyan Slat? At the age of 18, he founded The Ocean Cleanup, an environmental enterprise developing and scaling technologies to rid the oceans of plastic. Environmental entrepreneurs such as Slat and their eco-innovations are the cornerstone of the transition to a more sustainable world. But how can we help them make a bigger impact? That's what Georgios Outsios is determined to find out.

3D-printed concrete can be strong and energy-efficient
Did you know that we can build bridges out of concrete with a 3D printer? Yet, this promising technology still faces challenges before it can reach its full potential and be widely used in construction.
VUB researcher Yanjuan Chen explains what these challenges are and how she's working to help overcome them.
