  1. 21. Climate Change Policy of Bio-Energy: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis

    Författare :Rahimaisa Abdula; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; bio-energy; climate change policy; land-use change; and computable general equilibrium;

    Sammanfattning : This paper explores the intersectoral and land-use dynamics behind bio-energy�??s development as a climate change policy. Bio-energy from agriculture and forestry can potentially mitigate the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from energy use and land-use changes (LUC) by its substitution to fossil fuels and its diversion of land-use to biomass plantation.

  3. 22. Technological Aspects of Preparing Porridges Made from Local Crops in Mozambique

    Författare :Irene Carvalho; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Child malnutrition; consistency; complementary porridge; developing countries; energy density; carotenoids;

    Sammanfattning : Child malnutrition is one of the major health problems in many developing countries and involves many sectors such as health, agriculture and research. Malnutrition in infants usually develops during the introduction of complementary foods, due to a deficit of nutrients, low energy density and the poor bioavailability of vitamins and minerals leading, in turn, to an increase in the risk of disease and infant mortality.

  4. 23. Retrofitting CHP Plant and Optimization of Regional Energy System

    Författare :Song Han; Jinyue Yan; Eva Thorin; Mats Westermark; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Nyckelord :annual performance; combined heat and power; drying; ethanol; integration; part-load.; årliga prestation; kraftvärme; torkning; etanol; integration; del-last.; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The use of biomass-based combined heat and power (CHP) plants is considered by the EU administration to be an effective way to increase the use of renewables in the energy system, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to alleviate the dependency on imported fossil fuels. At present in Sweden, most of the CHP plants are operated in part-load mode because of variations in heat demand. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Decentralised energy systems based on biomass : a life cycle perspective on climate impact and energy balance

    Författare :Marie Kimming; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources is recognised as an important measure to mitigate climate change. Residual biomass from agriculture and forestry and short-rotation coppice grown on unused land can be converted to heat, power and fuel without directly compromising production of edible crops.

  7. 25. Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) – a high-yielding energy crop

    Författare :Thomas Prade; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Bioenergy is currently the fastest growing source of renewable energy. Tighter sustainability criteria for the production of vehicle biofuels and an increasing interest in combined heat and power (CHP) production from biomass have led to a demand for high-yielding energy crops with good conversion efficiencies.
