    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

  4. 2. Strategic raw material supply for the particleboard-producing industry in Europe : Problems and challenges

    Author : Johann Trischler; Johan Bergh; Rupert Wimmer; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biomass production; Lignocellulosic raw material; Non-wood plants; Particleboard; Pulp and paper; Recycling; Thermal energy recovery; Wood plants; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

    Abstract : Particleboard was invented to increase the utilization of wood and it soon became an important core material for furniture production. Nowadays, other industries such as the pulp and papermaking industry and the thermal energy recovery industry claim the same type of raw material. READ MORE

  5. 3. Efficiency Improvements in Waste-to-Energy Combustion Processes : Method Development and Evaluation

    Author : Eboh Francis Chinweuba; Simon Harvey; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Solid waste; exergy; entropy; higher heating value; improvement potential; waste-to-energy plant; efficiency improvement; cost evaluation; simulation; modelling; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

    Abstract : is the energy recovery method. The electrical efficiency of this technology, however, is generally low when compared with other solid fuel-fired combustion plants as a result of low steam properties. Furthermore, there is lack of efficient methods to evaluate the performance of this system. READ MORE

  6. 4. Bio-SNG from Thermal Gasification - Process Synthesis, Integration and Performance

    Author : Stefan Heyne; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; process integration; process modelling; performance indicators; biomass; energy systems; synthetic natural gas; gasification;

    Abstract : Biomethane or synthetic natural gas (Bio-SNG) produced from gasified renewable woody biomass is a promising option for replacing fossil natural gas. The complete interchangeability with natural gas in all its conventional applications such as in the power generation, transportation and chemical industry sector is of particular interest.

    Abstract : Undoubtedly, the past practices of profit maximisation by all means, which fuelled swift industrialisation and urbanisation, left behind a legacy of non-sanitary old landfills polluting the environment. These, together with active landfills supplied with tremendous streams of waste produced annually, are a loose cannon calling for action. READ MORE
