2. 6. The role of methane and hydrogen in a fossil-free Swedish transport sector

   Author : Mårten Larsson; Per Alvfors; Stefan Grönkvist; Max Åhman; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; renewable transport fuels; biogas; methane; hydrogen; electrofuels; pyrolysis; well to wheel; transport policy; energy policy; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : Drastic reductions of greenhouse gas emissions are required to limit the severe risks associated with a changing climate. One measure is to disrupt the fossil-fuel dependency in the transport sector, but it appears difficult and costly in comparison to other measures. READ MORE

4. 7. Energy systems studied of biogas : Generation aspects of renewable vehicle fuels in the transport system

   Author : Mimmi Magnusson; Per Alvfors; Umberto Desideri; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anaerobic digestion; biogas; biomass; energy system; first-generation biofuels; renewable vehicle fuels; second-generation biofuels; supply- and demand-side measures; third-generation biofuels; transport system;

   Abstract : The transport sector is seen as particularly problematic when concerns about climate change and dependency on fossil energy are discussed. Because of this, bioenergy is strongly promoted for use in the transport sector, both on a European level and nationally in Sweden. READ MORE

5. 8. Biomass to Biofuel : Syngas Cleaning and Biomass Feedstock

   Author : Ramiar Sadegh-Vaziri; Matthäus Bäbler; Per Alvfors; Lilian de Martin; Longcheng Liu; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gas-Solid Reaction; ZnO Sul_dation; Outward Growth; Hollow Particles; Algae Flocculation; PBEs; Fractal Clusters; Restructuring of Clusters; Deposition of Clusters; Primary Particle Aggregation.;

   Abstract : This thesis builds around the idea of a biofuel production process that is comprised of biomass production, biomass gasification, gas cleaning, and fuel production. In this work, we specifically looked into H2S removal as a part of cleaning the producer gas and flocculation of microalgae which is involved in the harvesting of microalgae after biomass production.

6. 9. Bringing fuel cells to reality and reality to fuel cells : A systems perspective on the use of fuel cells

   Author : Maria Saxe; Per Alvfors; Angelo Moreno; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Assessment; CUTE; Demonstration projects; Emerging technology; Evaluation; Fuel cell buses; Fuel cell systems; Fuel cells; Hype; Interdisciplinary; Niche markets; PEM; Radical technologies; SOFC; Strategic niche markets; Sustainability; Chemical energy engineering; Kemisk energiteknik;

   Abstract : With growing awareness of global warming and fear of political instability caused by oil depletion, the need for a society with a sustainable energy system has been brought to the fore. A promising technology often mentioned as a key component in such a system is the fuel cell technology, i.e. READ MORE

7. 10. Development of a Novel Method for Lithium-Ion Battery Testing on Heavy-Duty Vehicles

   Author : Pontus Svens; Mårten Behm; Göran Lindbergh; Per Alvfors; Anders Malmqvist; KTH; []
   Keywords : Lithium-ion battery; HEV; field testing; heavy-duty vehicles;

   Abstract : Increasing demands for lower environmental impact from vehicles, including heavy-duty vehicles, have driven several vehicle manufacturers to consider adding hybrid electrical vehicles (HEV’s) to the product portfolio. Present research on batteries for HEV’s is mainly focused on lithium-ion battery chemistries, since lithium-ion batteries has the most promising technical potential compared to other types of batteries.
