  2. 21. Process Industry Energy Projects in a Climate Change Conscious Economy

    Author : Anders Ådahl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; process Integration; pulp mill; Nordic countries; energy market; climate policy; CO2; energy savings; biofuel;

    Abstract : Most industrial process plants consume large amounts of energy (usually in the form of steam and electricity) to produce demanded goods, such as beer or paper. However, combustion of fossil fuels has negative external effects on the Earths climate. READ MORE

  4. 22. Coordination and Routing for Fuel-Efficient Heavy-Duty Vehicle Platoon Formation

    Author : Kuo-Yun Liang; Karl Henrik Johansson; Jonas Mårtensson; Paolo Falcone; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) manufacturers and fleet owners are facing great challenges for a maintained sustainable transport system as the demand for road freight transport is continuously increasing. HDV platooning is one potential solution topartially mitigate the environmental impacts as well as to reduce the fuel consumption, improve safety, and increase the throughput on congested highways.

  5. 23. Energy use and environmental impact of roundwood and forest fuel production in Sweden

    Author : Eva-Lotta Lindholm; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The increasing awareness of climate change issues, unstable fossil fuel prices and concerns about energy security are leading to a rising demand for forest products. If meeting this demand involves increased harvesting it is essential to employ efficient systems that allow sustainable forest management. READ MORE

  6. 24. Fuel-Efficient Look-Ahead Control for Heavy-Duty Vehicles with Varying Velocity Demands

    Author : Manne Held; Jonas Mårtensson; Oscar Flärdh; Ardalan Vahidi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; look-ahead control; optimal control; powertrain control; advanced driver assistance systems; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles can be reduced by using information about the upcoming road section when controlling the vehicles. Most manufacturers of heavy-duty vehicles today offer such look-ahead controllers for highway driving, where the information consists of the road grade and the velocity only has small variations.

  7. 25. Assessment of PHEV potential to reduce fuel use in Sweden using GPS data for car movements

    Author : Lars Henrik Björnsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PHEV potential; battery size; GPS-logging; PHEV viability; PHEV; Sweden; electrification; Individual movement pattern;

    Abstract : Roughly 30% of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions originate from transport. These emissions need to be reduced to be able to reach the by The Swedish parliament adopted goal of a carbon neutral society in 2050. READ MORE
