The aim of this report is to synthesize and build knowledge on the current uses of plastic, and the economic role of this ubiquitous material. Knowledge on the current uses of plastic and its necessity can contribute to a better understanding of possible alternative materials, and opportunities for...
This fourth and final version (version 4.0) of the ZEN definition guideline report builds upon V1.0, V2.0 and V3.0 of the ZEN definition guideline reports and a series of ZEN definition reports. This report highlights that an nZEN balance is required instead of point allocation in the GHG emissions...
This document outlines the definition, key performance indicators (KPI), and assessment criteria for the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN research centre). This fifth version of the ZEN definition builds upon previous versions of the ZEN definition report and the...
Learning across BREEAM Communities and ZEN definition
A significant effort in ZEN has been put into defining what to measure to define a neighbourhood as ‘zero emission’ through the identification of assessment criteria and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), whose final version will be published...
This memo follows up earlier theoretical reports on a possible ICT architecture for a collection of zero emission neighbourhoods described in ZEN Report 34 – 2021 (ZEN Data Management and Monitoring – Requirements and Architecture).
A case study has been performed, taking the data visualization...
A generic supply chain model for a Short Sea Shipping (SSS) use-case and an Inland Waterways (IWW) use-case is developed through an analysis of their respective supply chains. The supply chain models for each of the two use-cases is developed based on interviews with the two demonstrators' operators...
A standardized small-scale weathering and dispersibility study has been conducted on Heidrun Åre crude oil from 2023 at 13 °C. The dispersibility testing was included to estimate the viscosity limits and time window for dispersant use. The obtained laboratory data were further used as input to the...
