2. 21. Advancing Nexus Approaches: insights from practice in support of their operationalisation

   Author : Eunice Pereira Ramos; Mark Howells; Francesco Gardumi; Vignesh Sridharan; Hans-Holger Rogner; Declan Conway; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nexus; Nexus approach; integrated resource assessments; CLEWs; integrated assessment modelling; knowledge transfer; sustainable development; Nexus; Nexus approach; integrerad resursbedömningar; CLEWs; integrerad bedömningsmodellering; kunskapsöverföring; hållbar utveckling; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : The last decade has seen the emergence of a new research theme - the study of the resources Nexus. The “Nexus” refers to considering the functioning of several systems simultaneously, as opposed to one, as the object of research. This perspective reasons that coherent decision-making needs to consider systems' interconnectedness. READ MORE

4. 22. Methanation of biosyngas in a fluidized bed reactor

   Author : Martin Seemann; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ENERGY TECHNOLOGY; REGENERATIVE ENERGIES; GASIFICATION OF WOOD; FLUIDIZED BED PROCESSES; CHEMICAL ENGINEERING; FUEL TECHNOLOGY; ALTERNATIVE ENERGIES; METHANATION OF HYDROGEN-CARBONMONOXIDE MIXTURES; SYNTHETIC FUELS; NATURAL GAS; BIOGASES;

   Abstract : Rising prices for fossil fuels and concerns over the climate change increase the interest in renewable energies. Synthetic natural gas (SNG) can be an option, filling the request for alternatives in the transportation sector, where the dependence on the oil is very strong. READ MORE

5. 23. Residential Demand Response in the Context of European Union Energy Policy

   Author : Pia Stoll; Fredrik Gröndahl; Nils Brandt; Lars Nordström; Will Kling; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi;

   Abstract : In order to achieve energy security, reduce global warming and promote the vision of a common electricity market, the European Union (EU) is transforming the EU electricity grid from a large set of independent hierarchical national grids into one meshed EU-wide grid. For the first time in the history of the electric power industry, residential consumers are being integrated into the grid as active consumers and micro-generators of electricity. READ MORE

6. 24. Assessing the sustainability of bioethanol production in Nepal

   Author : Dilip Khatiwada; Semida Silveira; Andrew Martin; Björn Karlsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioethanol; sustainability; life cycle assessment; net energy values; greenhouse gas GHG balances; sustainable development; least developed countries LDCs ; Nepal; Mechanical and thermal engineering; Mekanisk och termisk energiteknik; Climatology; Klimatologi;

   Abstract : Access to modern energy services derived from renewable sources is a prerequisite, not only for economic growth, rural development and sustainable development, but also for energy security and climate change mitigation. The least developed countries (LDCs) primarily use traditional biomass and have little access to commercial energy sources. READ MORE

7. 25. Techno-Economic Perspectives on Biofuel Futures – Modelling Transport Sector Strategies in an Energy System Context

   Author : Martin Börjesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; biogas; oil dependence; model; MARKAL; transport; CO2; optimisation; biofuel;

   Abstract : The high oil dependence and the continuous growth of energy use in the transport sector have in recent years triggered interest in transport biofuels as a measure to mitigate climate change andimprove energy security. This work aims to examine techno-economic interactions linked totransport biofuel strategies in national and regional energy systems and their implications for thecost-effective realisation of energy policy objectives.
