  2. 1. Decarbonization in Carbon-Intensive Industries - An Assessment Framework for Enhanced Early-Stage Identification of Optimal Decarbonization Pathways

    Author : Tharun Roshan Kumar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Carbon-intensive industries; Industrial decarbonization; Process integration; Cost estimation; CO2 Capture; Exergy and Pinch analyses; Process modeling;

    Abstract : Carbon-intensive industries currently account for a quarter of global annual CO2 emissions. Achieving mandated climate targets necessitates the rapid implementation of decarbonization technologies in these industries. Such deployments typically involve substantial upfront investments amidst technical, economic, and policy uncertainties. READ MORE

  4. 2. Solar integrated heating systems: Applications in buildings and industries

    Author : Puneet Kumar Saini; Joakim Widén; Xingxing Zhang; Frank Fiedler; Thomas Olofsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Solar heating systems; Renewable heating systems; Decarbonization; Solar thermal; Techno-economic analysis; Thermal energy storage.; Engineering Science with specialization in Civil Engineering and Built Environment; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot byggteknik och byggd miljö;

    Abstract : “Heat is half” of the global final energy consumption, and the decarbonization of the heating sector is critical to achieving climate goals. This thesis employs a system modelling approach to evaluate renewable heating systems. READ MORE

  5. 3. Non-geological hydrogen storage for fossil-free steelmaking

    Author : Joakim Andersson; Stefan Grönkvist; Simon Harvey; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hydrogen storage; fossil-free; steelmaking; industrial decarbonization; hydrogen direct reduction; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : In the last half-century, global steel use has increased more than threefold and further growth is expected, particularly in developing economies. However, steelmaking is currently responsible for 7% of the global net carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and any substantial further optimization of existing processes that utilize fossil fuels for iron ore reduction is infeasible.

  6. 4. CO2 transportation infrastructure and biomass supply systems for carbon capture and storage - A modeling study of Swedish industry

    Author : Sebastian Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; BECCS; cost optimization; infrastructure; incentives; CCS; biomass supply; industry; CO2 transportation;

    Abstract : Rapid decarbonization of the industrial sector is crucial if the world is to manage to meet the target set in the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming to “well below 2°C”. The main technological pathways for achieving a low-carbon industry are the substitution of fossil feedstocks and energy supply with bio-based alternatives, electrification, and implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS).

  7. 5. The role of industrial energy management in the transition toward sustainable energy systems : Exploring practices, knowledge dynamics and policy evaluation

    Author : Mariana Andrei; Patrik Thollander; Anna Sannö; Patrik Rohdin; Kornelis Blok; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy management; Practices; Transition to sustainable energy systems; Knowledge-creation; Process innovation; Incremental and radical innovations; Voluntary initiatives; Digital technologies for energy efficiency;

    Abstract : Mitigating climate change represents one of the most pressing challenges of our time. The EU has set the goal of reaching climate neutrality by 2050. The transition of manufacturing organizations is essential in reaching the EU’s goal, since industry accounts for circa 25% of the total final energy use and about one-fifth of EU’s GHG emissions.
