2. 1. Essays on Climate Change and Forest Management

   Author : Jiegen Wei; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Dynamic games; Stock externalities; Carbon tax; Social Norms; Moral Hazard; Environmental Regulation; Energy pricing; Chinese forests; Economic growth; Manager turnover; Ownership; Selection of managers; Firm productivity;

   Abstract : Paper I analyses the exhaustion of oil resources, and the transition to a backstop technology as a strategic game between two blocks: the consumers and producers of oil which we simply refer to as “OPEC” and “OECD”. The OECD has two instruments: it can tax fuel consumption and decide when to switch to the carbon neutral backstop technology. READ MORE

4. 2. 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.

5. 3. Biofuels from Kraft Black Liquor : Pilot-Scale Gasification Development and Techno-Economic Evaluation of Industrially Relevant Biofuel Production Pathways

   Author : Yawer Jafri; Erik Furusjö; Ilkka Hannula; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biofuels; black liquor; pyrolysis oil; gasification; drop-in; energy systems; techno-economic; Energiteknik; Energy Engineering;

   Abstract : Fuel combustion for transport was responsible for 24% of EU-28 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2016. Member states are expected to ensure that the share of renewable energy in the transport sector is at least 14% by 2030. Some countries, such as Sweden, have more ambitious targets. READ MORE

6. 4. Environmental taxation - Empirical and Theoretical Applications

   Author : Åsa Löfgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Oil; Decomposition; Gasoline; Policy instruments; Causality; Political economy; Optimal taxation; Habit formation; Environment; Intertemporal choice;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of five self-contained articles, and hence each paper can be read independently. Still, all five papers have one important feature in common: environmental taxation. READ MORE

7. 5. Public Policy and the Governance of Biofuel Systems

   Author : Lorenzo Di Lucia; Miljö- och energisystem; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transport; Biofuels; governance; policy; governability;

   Abstract : The dependency of transport on oil fuels is responsible for risks of energy supply security, and local, regional and global environmental problems, including the emission of greenhouse gases affecting the Earth’s climate system. Biofuels attracted considerable attention in recent years as a solution to these problems. READ MORE
