  1. 1. Life Cycle Assessment of Present and Future Marine Fuels

    Författare :Selma Bengtsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LCA; marine fuels; environmental impact; LNG; biofuels; heavy fuel oil; Life Cycle Assessment; marine gas oil; liquefied natural gas;

    Sammanfattning : Interest in new fuels for marine propulsion is growing, mainly as a result of stricter environmental regulations but also due to increased attention to air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and the uncertainty of future oil supply. Several different fuels and exhaust abatement technologies are proposed for marine transportation, all of which have different advantages and disadvantages in relation to the environment and human health.

  3. 2. Generation of synthesis gas for fuels and chemicals production

    Författare :Per Tunå; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Synthetic fuels and chemicals; gasification; gas conditioning; simulation; tar-cracking;

    Sammanfattning : Many scientists believe that the oil production will peak in the near future, if the peak has not already occurred. Peak oil theories and uncertain future oil deliveries have stimulated interest in alternative sources of fuel and chemicals. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Power to gas : Bridging renewable electricity to the transport sector

    Författare :Farzad Mohseni; Per Alvfors; Mats Westermark; Lars Pettersson; Maria Grahn; Björn Frostell; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transport; renewable electricity; synthetic fuels; energy; power to gas;

    Sammanfattning : Globally, transport accounts for a significant part of the total energy utilization and is heavily dominated by fossil fuels. The main challenge is how the greenhouse gas emissions in road transport can be addressed. Moreover, the use of fossil fuels in road transport makes most countries or regions dependent on those with oil and/or gas assets. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Methanation of biosyngas in a fluidized bed reactor

    Författare :Martin Seemann; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ENERGY TECHNOLOGY; REGENERATIVE ENERGIES; GASIFICATION OF WOOD; FLUIDIZED BED PROCESSES; CHEMICAL ENGINEERING; FUEL TECHNOLOGY; ALTERNATIVE ENERGIES; METHANATION OF HYDROGEN-CARBONMONOXIDE MIXTURES; SYNTHETIC FUELS; NATURAL GAS; BIOGASES;

    Sammanfattning : Rising prices for fossil fuels and concerns over the climate change increase the interest in renewable energies. Synthetic natural gas (SNG) can be an option, filling the request for alternatives in the transportation sector, where the dependence on the oil is very strong. LÄS MER

  7. 5. An Experimental Study of Fischer-Tropsch Fuels in a Diesel Engine

    Författare :Monica Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Alternative Fuels; Fischer-Tropsch; GTL;

    Sammanfattning : Alternative fuels for Diesel engines include ester-based fuels (derived from sources such as rapeseed, soybeans and palm oil), dimethyl ether, and various synthetic fuels. Use of these fuels could contribute to a cleaner environment, reduce global warming and improve the human health by reducing levels of harmful emissions. LÄS MER
