  1. 1. The cost of phasing out coal: Identifying and overcoming socio-political barriers

    Författare :Lola Nacke; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Feasibility; Energy transitions; Coal phase-out; Socio-political feasibility;

    Sammanfattning : IPCC climate mitigation scenarios project rapid coal phase-out as an integral part of climate change mitigation. Despite the diffusion of cost competitive low-carbon alternatives to coal power, some argue that current decline is not in line with climate mitigation targets, and that rapid coal phase-out depicted in climate scenarios is not socio-politically feasible.

  3. 2. Steel Beyond Coal : Socio-Technical Change and the Emergent Politics of Steel Decarbonisation

    Författare :Valentin Vogl; Miljö- och energisystem; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel; coal; climate change; decarbonisation; socio-technical transitions; sustainability;

    Sammanfattning : The steel industry is responsible for 8% of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and is the second largest user of coal after the power sector. The main emission source in steel production is the blast furnace, which converts iron ore and metallurgical coal into pig iron that is then further refined into steel. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Exploring the Transition to a Low-Carbon Electricity System — Using Agent-Based Modeling
