  2. 1. Biomass in a Sustainable Energy System

    Author : Pål Börjesson; Miljö- och energisystem; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; kontroll av utsläpp; Miljöteknik; pollution control; Environmental technology; economic valuation; environmental impact; carbon dioxide; Biomass; energy efficiency; Energiforskning; Energy research;

    Abstract : The increased use of biomass for energy is as a key strategy in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, which represents the largest anthropogenic contribution to the greenhouse effect. In this thesis, aspects of an increase in the utilisation of biomass in the Swedish energy system are treated. READ MORE

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; iron and steel industry; energy efficiency; CO2 emissions; fuel substitution; fuel switch; excess heat; biomass gasification; bio-syngas; synthetic natural gas; SNG; energy market scenarios; energy management; barriers; driving forces; järn- och stålindustrin; energieffektivisering; CO2-utsläpp; bränslebyte; överskottsvärme; restvärme; förgasning; bio-syntesgas; syntetisk naturgas; SNG; energimarknadsscenarier; energiledning; hinder; drivkrafter;

    Abstract : IPCC reported in its climate change report 2013 that the atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gases (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and nitrous oxide now have reached the highest levels in the past 800,000 years. CO2 concentration has increased by 40% since pre-industrial times and the primary source is fossil fuel combustion. READ MORE

  5. 3. Future District Heating Interactions – Modelling Impacts of Industrial Excess Heat Utilisation and Energy Efficient Buildings

    Author : Akram Sandvall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fourth generation district heating; TIMES; waste heat; urban planning.; dynamic energy system modelling; MARKAL; passive houses; low-energy buildings; excess heat;

    Abstract : International goals for climate change mitigation plus energy security targets could be met cost-effectively by interactions between different parts of energy systems. The fourth generation of the district heating systems concept was developed as an attempt to accelerate district heating (DH) systems’ interactions with other energy systems. READ MORE

  6. 4. Plan and Reality : Municipal Energy Plans and Development of Local Energy Systems

    Author : Jenny Stenlund Nilsson Ivner; Anders Mårtensson; Bengt Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; municipal energy planning; energy management; energy systems; systems; renewable energy; energy conservation; municipality; local authority; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

    Abstract : Enligt lagen om kommunal energiplanering ska varje svensk kommun ha en energiplan för tillförsel för tillförsel och användning av energi. Huruvida energiplanering är ett bra sätt att styra det kommunala energisystemet är dock omdebatterat. READ MORE

  7. 5. Combined heat and power plants in decarbonized energy systems: Techno-economics of carbon capture and flexibility services at the plant, city and regional levels

    Author : Johanna Beiron; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Negative emissions; Flexibility; CCS; District heating; Energy system modeling; Combined heat and power; Techno-economic assessment;

    Abstract : Our present energy system is the main driver of climate change. Variable renewable electricity generation and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) are key technologies in the transformation to a sustainable energy system, but their broad implementation implies challenges related to energy system flexibility and energy requirements of CDR technologies.
