  2. 21. An agent-based approach to supply side modeling of agricultural and power systems

    Author : Emma Jonson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; power system transitions; Agent-based modeling; agricultural land-use; Cobweb model; stability; non-equilibrium; price fluctuations; market interaction;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the modeling of economic systems in the context of agricultural and power systems, and some aspects of the difference between the standard economics equilibrium approach and the agent-based approach. We model the supply side, where agents make decisions on what to produce or in what to invest. READ MORE

  4. 22. Transition to a low-carbon electricity system — investment decisions under heterogeneity, uncertainty and financial feedback

    Author : Jinxi Yang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; investment financing; electricity system transition; agent-based modelling; investment decisions;

    Abstract : A transition to a low-carbon electricity system will require a substantial increase in the investment rate in low-carbon technologies. This calls for a better understanding of investment decisions and their impact on the pace of the transition. READ MORE

  5. 23. Hollow cone gasoline/ethanol sprays under cold start conditions

    Author : Jonas Wärnberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SIDI; Cold start; PIV; Piezo-injector; PDA; Ethanol; SI; SGDI; E85; Direct injection stratified charge; LIF; Spark ignition; Mie;

    Abstract : To decrease the release of CO2 from fossil fuels into the atmosphere, within the transportation sector the efficiency of vehicles and their engines must be increased. Additionally renewable fuels may be used to further decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. READ MORE

  6. 24. Carbon Sink or Energy Source : Economic perspectives on future uses of forest resources in Sweden

    Author : Carl Nolander; Robert Lundmark; Ljusk Ola Eriksson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : Abstract Forests and the resources they offer have been important for the Swedish economy for a long time, and the forest industry remains a large part of the manufacturing industry even as the economy is becoming more service-based. Forests are also increasingly seen as an important source of biofuels that can be used to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and to reach the target for a carbon neutral economy by the year 2050.

  7. 25. Climate Change Policy of Bio-Energy: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis

    Author : Rahimaisa Abdula; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; bio-energy; climate change policy; land-use change; and computable general equilibrium;

    Abstract : This paper explores the intersectoral and land-use dynamics behind bio-energy�??s development as a climate change policy. Bio-energy from agriculture and forestry can potentially mitigate the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from energy use and land-use changes (LUC) by its substitution to fossil fuels and its diversion of land-use to biomass plantation.
