  1. 1. Essays on energy efficiency, environmental regulation and labor demand in Swedish industry

    Författare :Golnaz Amjadi; Lars Persson; Tommy Lundgren; Luis Orea; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Energy efficiency improvement; rebound effect; stochastic frontier analysis; data envelopment analysis; stochastic energy demand frontier model; persistent and transient energy inefficiency; energy inefficiency; environmental expenditure and environmental investment costs; output demand elasticity; Economics; nationalekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : Paper [I] Energy efficiency improvement (EEI) benefits the climate and matters for energy security. The potential emission and energy savings due to EEI may however not fully materialize due to the rebound effect. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Improving the efficiency of forest fuel supply chains

    Författare :Anders Eriksson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Forest biomass has gained much interest as a resource for renewable energy production world-wide. In Sweden, easily accessible secondary forest fuels, such as by-products from the conventional forest industry, are today already fully utilised. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Energy demand management in selected African countries

    Författare :Philip Kofi Adom; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis contains five empirical papers that contribute to the energy demand management literature on Africa. It investigates the following policy issues – business cycle and energy conservation, government fuel subsidies and energy efficiency, economic growth and environmental quality, structural effects in parameters, the transition between energy efficiency and energy inefficiency, forecast of energy demand, shifts in demand behaviour, and the persistence profile of energy demand to shocks – using data from five countries: Algeria, Nigeria, South Africa, Cameroon and Ghana.

  5. 4. Essays on energy demand and efficiency analysis

    Författare :Wondmagegn Tafesse Tirkaso; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four papers focusing on the issues of energy demand and efficiency analysis in the agricultural and environmental sectors. The first paper examined the long-run relationship among rainfall distribution, electricity consumption and economic growth (GDP) in Ethiopia using time series data between 1981 and 2014. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Energy-efficient resource provisioning for cloud data centers

    Författare :Selome Kostentinos Tesfatsion; Johan Tordsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Energy efficiency has become a fundamental concern in data centers, raising issues to all energy-related costs, including capital costs, operating expenses, and environmental impact. Energy inefficiency is mainly caused by unoptimized use of energy by sub-components of these data centers. LÄS MER
