1. 16. Modelling drivers of energy demand in the European Union building sector

   Författare :Eoin Ó Broin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; EU; Elasticities; Heating; Policy; Bottom-up; Top-down; Efficiency; Residential;

   Sammanfattning : In the context of ongoing initiatives within the European Union (EU) to tackle global warming and to secure future energy supplies, the building sector is often cited as offering strong potential for energy savings. The primary aims of this thesis are to analyse the historical data related to EU building and to generate scenarios that highlight the technical and non-technical parameters that affect the energy demands (and thereby the potentials for savings) of the building sector.

3. 17. Collaborative development of resource efficient district heating in Sweden

   Författare :Sofia Persson; Olof Hjelm; Sara Gustafsson; Mikael Ottosson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : An increased recovery of excess heat from industrial processes and thermal power generation could significantly reduce energy demands. Industrial excess heat-based district heating systems are generally considered resource efficient because they reduce the use of fossil fuels and the emissions of greenhouse gases. LÄS MER

4. 18. Process integration to increase woody biomass utilization for energy purposes

   Författare :Sennai Mesfun; Francesco Fantozzi; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Woody biomass is an abundant renewable energy resource in Sweden, and the Swedish government has been promoting research and development programs for the exploitation of this resource as a mean to meet the targets on the reduction of the carbon dioxide emissions from the industrial, energy and transportation sectors. This thesis aims at expanding the knowledge on the efficient utilization of the available woody biomass, so that a larger amount of this renewable resource can be used for energy purposes. LÄS MER

5. 19. Essays on Public Policy in the Informal Sector Context

   Författare :Carolin Sjöholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; community-based health insurance; adverse selection; price sensitivity; female self-employment; childcare; microenterprises; daycare program; healthcare quality; structural inputs; process quality; Rwanda;

   Sammanfattning : The Price Sensitivity of the Demand for Health Insurance – Evidence from the Community Health Insurance Scheme in Rwanda This study estimates the price elasticity of the demand for health insurance, exploiting the variation in insurance premiums created by the implementation of a new premium subsidy scheme for community-based health insurance in Rwanda. The subsidy scheme created variation in insurance premiums across households, over time. LÄS MER

7. 20. Economic Analysis of Soil Capital, Land Use and Agricultural Production in Kenya

   Författare :Anders Ekbom; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to investigate economic and natural science aspects of soil management and agricultural production in a developing country context. It does so by theoretical as well as empirical investigation, based on data from field surveys in Kenya’s central highlands over several years. LÄS MER
