  2. 1. Tools for Evaluating Energy Efficiency of Steel Production : Lessons from Sweden and Europe

    Author : Johannes Morfeldt; Semida Silveira; Mats Söderström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy efficiency; indicators; iron and steel sector; systems analysis; energieffektivitet; indikatorer; järn- och stålsektorn; systemanalys; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : The European Union faces challenges related to climate change, security of energy supply, and competitiveness of European industries. Energy efficiency indicators are required for monitoring and controlling the effectiveness of policies such as the recently endorsed Energy Efficiency Directive. READ MORE

  4. 2. Prospects for Bioenergy in Europe - Supply, Demand and Trade

    Author : Karin Ericsson; Miljö- och energisystem; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energiforskning; Energy research; biofuel trade; perennial energy crops; co-firing; bioenergy policy; biomass production cost; potential biomass supply; Bioenergy; Europe;

    Abstract : Renewable energy sources (RES), such as biomass, can be used to address two important issues in Europe: climate change and energy security. If biomass is produced sustainably and used efficiently, bioenergy contributes very little to CO2 emissions. READ MORE

  5. 3. SECURITY OF SUPPLY DURING THE ENERGY TRANSITION:THE ROLE OF CAPACITY MECHANISMS

    Author : Pradyumna Bhagwat; Mehrdad Ghandhari Alavijh; Margot P. C. Weijnen; Laurens J. De Vries; Reinier van der Veen; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Adequacy policy; capacity mechanisms; capacity market; investment; energy; agent-based modelling; EMLab-Generation; strategic reserve; security of supply; cross-border effects.; Economics; Nationalekonomi; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : The push for clean energy has caused a rapid growth of renewables in the electricity supply mix of the EU. Although one would assume that the impact of these technologies is entirely positive, recent research and experience indicate that there is reason for concern namely regarding the security of supply.

  6. 4. Combined Electricity Production and Thermally Driven Cooling from Municipal Solid Waste

    Author : Seksan Udomsri; Andrew R. Martin; Torsten Fransson; Erik Dahlquist; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; municipal solid waste; incineration; hybrid cycle; power production; thermally driven cooling; absorption chillers; decentralized thermally driven cooling; district heating; Mechanical and thermal engineering; Mekanisk och termisk energiteknik; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

    Abstract : Increasingly intensive efforts are being made to enhance energy systems via augmented introduction of renewable energy along with improved energy efficiency. Resource constraints and sustained high fossil fuel prices have created a new phenomenon in the world market. READ MORE

  7. 5. The roles of transmission and distribution networks in integrating variable renewable electricity generation

    Author : Joel Goop; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electricity generation; demand-side management; energy systems modelling; power systems; variable renewables;

    Abstract : Emission reduction targets, together with other factors, such as security of supply, are driving the expansion of variable renewable energy sources for electricity generation, mainly solar and wind power. Trading across the transmission grid is an important measure to handle the increased variability and to balance supply with demand. READ MORE
