2. 1. Optimization of Investments for Strategic Process Integration and Pulp Mill Biorefinery Projects under Uncertainty

   Author : Elin Svensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; pulp and paper industry; investment planning; biorefinery; scenario-based modelling.; stochastic programming; Process integration;

   Abstract : Energy-intensive industrial plants operate in a changing, uncertain environment. Long-term changes are expected in energy prices, political regulations and technology development. Pulp and paper companies, like many other industries, are under strong pressure to respond to these changes. READ MORE

4. 2. Energy Export Opportunities from Kraft Pulp and Paper Mills and Resulting Reductions in Global CO2 Emissions

   Author : Erik Marcus Kristian Axelsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy export; Heat integration; Energy savings; Kraft pulp and paper mill; Global CO2 emissions;

   Abstract : With increasing energy prices and increasing demand for CO2-lean energy sources, energy savings in the pulp and paper industry become ever more relevant. Significant energy savings in kraft mills can be made by e.g. improved heat integration and installation of an energy-efficient evaporation plant. READ MORE

5. 3. Essays on Productive Efficiency, Shadow Prices, and Human Capital

   Author : Per-Olov Marklund; Thomas Aronsson; Chuan-Zhong Li; Umeå universitet; []

   Abstract : This thesis consists of five papers, four of them basically concerning environmental issues, while the fifth paper addresses the issue of measuring output from the educational sector. The first paper starts from the fact that industrial activity causes environmental damage. READ MORE

6. 4. Analysing strategic energy-related investments in process industries : applied studies at a pulp and board mill

   Author : Magnus Karlsson; Lars J. Nilsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MIND; Industrial energy systems; Investment; pulp and paper; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : The potential to reduce energy demand in industrial applications is often substantiaL Since energy cost represents a considerable share of the value added in several categories of process industries, a great potential exists for cutting costs through investment, for instance in energy efficiency improvements. However, industrial energy systems form complex relations not only within the industrial unit, but also in the interaction with their surroundings. READ MORE

7. 5. Essays on Unit-Root Testing and on Discrete-Response Modelling of Firm Mergers

   Author : Nikolay Angelov; Per Johansson; Steinar Strøm; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; unit root; structural break; LR test; stationary alternative; matching; firm mergers; discrete choice; Nationalekonomi; Economics; Nationalekonomi; nationalekonomi; Economics;

   Abstract : Essay 1 investigates the time-series properties of the price of iron ore. The focus is on unit-root testing in the presence of a structural break. Unit-root tests with or without structural breaks are applied to historical prices of five different qualities of Swedish and Brazilian iron ore. Tests with exogenous or endogenous breaks are analyzed. READ MORE
