1. Decarbonization in Carbon-Intensive Industries - An Assessment Framework for Enhanced Early-Stage Identification of Optimal Decarbonization Pathways
Sammanfattning : Carbon-intensive industries currently account for a quarter of global annual CO2 emissions. Achieving mandated climate targets necessitates the rapid implementation of decarbonization technologies in these industries. Such deployments typically involve substantial upfront investments amidst technical, economic, and policy uncertainties. LÄS MER
2. Solar integrated heating systems: Applications in buildings and industries
Sammanfattning : “Heat is half” of the global final energy consumption, and the decarbonization of the heating sector is critical to achieving climate goals. This thesis employs a system modelling approach to evaluate renewable heating systems. LÄS MER
3. Non-geological hydrogen storage for fossil-free steelmaking
Sammanfattning : In the last half-century, global steel use has increased more than threefold and further growth is expected, particularly in developing economies. However, steelmaking is currently responsible for 7% of the global net carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and any substantial further optimization of existing processes that utilize fossil fuels for iron ore reduction is infeasible.

4. CO2 transportation infrastructure and biomass supply systems for carbon capture and storage - A modeling study of Swedish industry
Sammanfattning : Rapid decarbonization of the industrial sector is crucial if the world is to manage to meet the target set in the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming to “well below 2°C”. The main technological pathways for achieving a low-carbon industry are the substitution of fossil feedstocks and energy supply with bio-based alternatives, electrification, and implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS).

5. The role of industrial energy management in the transition toward sustainable energy systems : Exploring practices, knowledge dynamics and policy evaluation
Sammanfattning : Mitigating climate change represents one of the most pressing challenges of our time. The EU has set the goal of reaching climate neutrality by 2050. The transition of manufacturing organizations is essential in reaching the EU’s goal, since industry accounts for circa 25% of the total final energy use and about one-fifth of EU’s GHG emissions.
