  2. 11. Diffusion of energy-efficient technologies in EU residential buildings

    Author : Clara Camarasa; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; residential building stock; technology diffusion; European Union; decision-making; empirical evidence; energy efficiency; multiple impacts; modelling;

    Abstract : Residential buildings constitute approximately 75% of the European building stock, accounting for around 30% of the EU´s overall energy demand and emissions. They also represent one of the biggest sources of energy saving potential, thus holding a crucial role in achieving EU carbon targets. READ MORE

  4. 12. European Energy Policy in Transition: Critical Aspects of Emissions Trading

    Author : Markus Wråke; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Energy policy; climate policy; carbon dioxide; climate change; emissions trading; EU ETS; efficiency; distributional effects; closures; new entrants; electricity; allocation; auctions; carbon leakage; competitiveness; peat; radiative forcing;

    Abstract : The overarching theme of the thesis is European energy and climate policy, with a particular focus on the role of emissions trading. The thesis consists of eight papers. Paper 1 outlines the origins and characteristics of the European Union’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), launched in January 2005. READ MORE

  6. 14. Perspectives on future bioenergy use and trade in a European policy context

    Author : Julia Hansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sweden; bioenergy trade; EU; policy; bioenergy; co-generation; renewable electricity; biomass; co-firing; district heating; biofuels for transportation; gasification;

    Abstract : This thesis, which consists of five separate papers, analyses the possibilities for increasing the use and trade of bioenergy, in a European policy context. In Paper I we investigate whether different policy objectives underlying the promotion of bioenergy (cost-effective climate change mitigation, reduced dependency on imported fuels, and job creation) agree on which bioenergy options should be used.

    Author : Claes Sandels; Lars Nordström; Palensky Peter; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Demand Response; Flexible loads; Building stock energy-use; Bottom-up simulation models; Load profiles; Non-homogeneous Markov-chains; End-user behavior; Lumped capacitance models; HVAC system control; Smart Grid.; Efterfrågeflexibilitet; Flexibla laster; Energianvändning i byggnadsstocken; Botten-upp-simuleringsmodeller; Elförbrukningsprofiler; Icke-homogena Markovkedjor; Slutanvändarbeteenden; Värmedynamikmodellering; Styrning av HVAC-laster; Smarta elnät.;

    Abstract : The electric power systems are currently being transformed through the integration of intermittent renewable energy resources and new types of electric loads. These developments run the risk of increasing mismatches between electricity supply and demand, and may cause non-favorable utilization rates of some power system components. READ MORE
