  2. 1. Corporate and city GHG inventories : Impact on global CO2 emissionswhen considering electricity and CHP-based district heating

    Author : Lena Nordenstam; Björn Karlsson; Louise Ödlund; Danica Djuric Ilic; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : One initiative to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions involves developing standards for GHG inventories. Companies and cities (regions) can use GHG inventories to compile and report their GHG emissions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modelling Life Cycle Cost for Indoor Climate Systems

    Author : Dennis Johansson; Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HVAC; life cycle cost; energy; Energy research; Energiforskning; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; indoor climate system; ventilation; maintenance; LCC;

    Abstract : The indoor climate system, which serves a building with a proper indoor air quality and thermal comfort, has been predominantly designed based on the initial cost. A life cycle approach could improve both the economic and environmental performance since the energy use could decrease. READ MORE

  5. 3. Economic growth, energy consumption and CO2 emissions in Sweden 1800-2000

    Author : Astrid Kander; Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; energy intensity; Environmental Kuznets Curve; relative price analyses; standard calculations; technical change; structural changes; energy quality factors; consumers surplus; Social and economic history; forest management; CO2 intensity; Ekonomisk och social historia;

    Abstract : Large transformations of technologies have occurred in the Swedish economy during the last two centuries, resulting in higher income, better quality of products and changing composition of GDP. An agrarian society has given way to an industrial society and lately to a post-industrial phase. READ MORE

  6. 4. Energy Efficiency Versus Gains in Consumer Amenities

    Author : Frances Sprei; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; energy efficiency; residential buildings; service features; Sweden; passenger cars; fuel consumption; downsizing; technological development;

    Abstract : This thesis, consisting of five papers, addresses the question of what share of technological development results in increased energy efficiency rather than offsetting improved consumer services in the form of gains in consumer amenities? In the first paper economic and organizational explanations are given for stagnating energy efficiency trends in the Swedish residential building sector. The results show that changes in energy prices to a large extent explain the observed stagnation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Assessment of Raw Materials in Stainless Steelmaking-Their Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emission

    Author : Wei Wenjing; Anders Tilliander; Peter Samuelsson; Pär Jönsson; Ye Guozhu; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; static process model; mass and energy balance; molybdenum; nickel; phosphorus; stainless steel; life cycle assessment; GHG emission; energy consumption; statisk procesmodell; mass- och energibalans; molybden; nickel; fosfor; rostfritt stål; livscykelanalys; växthusgasutsläpp; energiförbrukning; Metallurgical process science; Metallurgisk processvetenskap;

    Abstract : In stainless steelmaking, around 68% of the total greenhouse gas emissions come from the processing of raw materials. Thus, it is important for steelmakers to make efforts together with their raw material suppliers to implement low-carbon initiatives. To facilitate such initiatives, assessment of raw materials will provide guidance. READ MORE
