  1. 1. Electrification in Process Industry - The Role of Process Integration and Future Energy Market Conditions

    Författare :Holger Wiertzema; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electrification; bottom-up assessment; energy-intensive process industries; oxo synthesis; oil refining; energy market scenarios; techno-economic assessment; chemical industry;

    Sammanfattning : Electrification of industrial processes is a frequently discussed strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from energy-intensive process industries and is highlighted in many roadmap studies. Electricity is a versatile energy carrier that enables a broad variety of options in which existing process unit operations are replaced with electricity-driven alternatives. LÄS MER

  3. 2. System studies of different CO2 mitigation options in the oil refining industry: Post-combustion CO2 capture and biomass gasification

    Författare :Daniella Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; process integration; post-combustion CO2 capture. CO2 capture and storage CCS ; GHG emissions; oil refining industry; CO2 emissions; Fischer-Tropsch FT ; biomass gasification; energy market scenarios;

    Sammanfattning : To reach the objective endorsed by the EU Council for reducing EU greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80-90% compared to 1990 levels by 2050, extensive cuts are necessary in all sectors. The oil refining sector is a major energy user and thus a major GHG emitter. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Excess heat utilisation in oil refineries - CCS and algae-based biofuels

    Författare :Viktor Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; techno-economic; CO2 emissions; carbon dioxide; renewable diesel; post-combustion; algae biofuels; process integration; GHG emissions; oil refining industry; carbon capture and storage CCS ;

    Sammanfattning : The main objective of this thesis is to investigate two different concepts for CO2 mitigation, from a system perspective, in relation to the oil refining industry: CO2 capture and storage; and algae-based biofuels. For all these processes, process integration with an oil refinery is assumed. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Slurry Hydrotreatment of Biomass Materials over Metal Sulfide-based Supported and Unsupported Catalysts

    Författare :You Wayne Cheah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrotreatment; Kraft lignin; Transition metals; Slurry hydrocracking; Propylguaiacol; Advanced biofuels; MoS2; Reaction network; Pyrolysis oil; Unsupported TMS;

    Sammanfattning : The scarcity of fossil feedstocks and the deterioration of the current global climate condition have prompted the search for reliable alternatives for fossil fuel replacement. Biomass feedstocks are abundant, carbon-rich, and renewable bioresources that can be used to produce renewable bio-oils that can fill the gap left by fossil-derived oils. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Partial CO2 capture to facilitate cost-efficient deployment of carbon capture and storage in process industries - Deliberations on process design, heat integration, and carbon allocation

    Författare :Max Biermann; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbon allocation; Partial CO2 capture; process industry; techno-economic assessment; CCS; heat recovery; amine absorption;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change requires that all energy-related sectors reduce drastically their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, at a global rate of 1–2 GtCO2 per year, starting now. Process industries, such as the iron and steel, cement, petrochemical, and oil-refining industries, are inherently carbon-intensive, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the few options available to achieve the required deep reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
