  2. 11. Potentials and wood fuel quality of logging residues from indigenous and planted forests in Mozambique

    Author : Rosta Mate; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Search for complementary and alternative renewable energy sources is imperative to meet the current growing demand for wood fuel and for diversification of electricity supply sources in Mozambique. Logging residues from timber harvesting operations and whole tree biomass from short rotation coppice (SRC) are available options. READ MORE

  4. 12. Reducing Carbon Emissions From Natural Gas-fired Power Plants – Biomass, Concentrated Solar and Carbon Capture

    Author : Erik Pihl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbon capture and storage; bioenergy; biofuels; optimisation; modeling; solar thermal power; resource limitations; thermo-economic assessment;

    Abstract : In this thesis, possibilities to reduce emissions from combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants are evaluated. The evaluation is done from two perspectives: techno-economic analysis, and analysis of the resource and integration potentials. READ MORE

  5. 13. Fluidized bed combustion and gasification for phosphorus recovery by co-conversion of sewage sludge with biomass

    Author : Thomas Karl Hannl; Marcus Öhman; Matthias Kuba; Nils Skoglund; Mikko Hupa; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Combustion; gasification; sewage sludge; agricultural residues; fluidized bed; ash chemistry; bed material; phosphorus; fuel design; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : In recent years, the thermal conversion of sewage sludge has proven its applicability for managing this inevitably generated waste. The viability arises from the concomitant features of recovering energy or valuable compounds, the breakdown of potentially harmful organic compounds, the separation or immobilization of heavy metals, and the formation of volume-reduced, sanitized residues.

  6. 14. Biogas Production from Lignocelluloses : Pretreatment, Substrate Characterization, Co-digestion and Economic Evaluation

    Author : Anna Teghammar; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biogas; lignocellulose; pretreatment; anaerobic digestion; co-digestion; substrate characterization; economic evaluation; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Biogas production from organic materials can be used as a renewable vehicle fuel, provide heat and generate electricity and can thereby reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. This thesis focuses on the biogas production based on lignocelluloses. There is an abundant availability of lignocelluloses, constituting 50% of the total biomass worldwide. READ MORE

  7. 15. Mechanisms of Deposit formation in the Grate-kiln Process

    Author : Hamid Sefidari; Marcus Öhman; Dan Boström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energiteknik; Energy Engineering;

    Abstract : Fly ash particles from the combustion of coal together with disintegrated particles arising from iron-ore pellets result in accumulation of deposits on the refractory linings of the grate-kiln induration machine during the iron-ore pelletizing process. Deposit formation gives rise to decreased production efficiency, unscheduled shutdowns, high cleaning costs, and equipment failures. READ MORE
