  1. 21. Integrated regional energy planning for islands : Development of a decision-aiding methodological framework and application

    Författare :Andrew Barney; Heracles Polatidis; Stefan Ivanell; Magdalena Kuchler; Jesús Ramos-Martín; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Natural Resources and Sustainable Development; Naturresurser och hållbar utveckling;

    Sammanfattning : Clear and inclusive planning guidance for island planners seeking transitions away from traditional fossil fuel based energy systems is currently needed. At present, the guidance from the scientific community has largely been provided piecemeal and with significant focus on the specifics of single islands and, more often than not, on proposed energy systems’ techno-economics.

    Sammanfattning : Fostering sustainability transitions in the heating and cooling sector is a necessary and urgent issue. Steering mechanisms can enable coordination of actions by different actors towards common sustainability goals. LÄS MER

  4. 23. The global energy system through a prism of change : The oil & gas industry and the case of the Arctic

    Författare :Maria Morgunova; Vladimir Kutcherov; Pär Blomkvist; Stefan Andreasson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; global energy system; energy industry; oil gas industry; Arctic offshore; change; transformation; sustainable energy transition; industrial dynamics; multi-level perspective; development blocks; globalt energisystem; energibranschen; olje- och gasindustrin; Arctic offshore; förändring; omvandling; hållbar energiövergång; industriell dynamik; flernivå perspektiv; utvecklingsblock; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Economics and Management;

    Sammanfattning : The energy industry as a whole and the oil & gas industry in particular is experiencing changes under the influence of a variety of trends and the changing needs of society. Current social, economic, environmental and climate challenges are raising sharp questions for the established principles of energy production and consumption, increasingly arguing for sustainable trajectories in the development of the global energy system.

  7. 25. Energy Transitions, Economic Growth and Structural Change: Portugal in a Long-run Comparative Perspective

    Författare :Sofia Henriques; Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; energy; natural resources; Environmental Kuznets Curve; Portugal; industrialization; service transition; structural change; electrification; XIX and XX centuries.;

    Sammanfattning : This book analyses, in an international comparative context, Portugal´s energy transition from organic sources to fossil fuels in the period 1856-2006. It investigates the role that energy played in the industrialization of the country and how the relationship between energy and economic growth changed with the transition from an industrial to a service society.
