    Sammanfattning : Climate change along with increasing demand for food and fuel call for sustainable use of natural resources. One way to address these concerns is through efficient use of resources, which is also vital for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. LÄS MER

  5. 4. On the optimal use of industrial-generated biomass residues for polygeneration

    Författare :Marianne Salomón Popa; Torsten Fransson; Andrew Martin; Lasse Rosendahl; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polygeneration; Optimization; Palm Oil; Biomass; forest residues; Colombia; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : Increasing energy demand as well as climate change concerns call for an analysis and optimization of energy services. Efficient use of energy resources, mitigation of environmental effects and supply an increasing demand are just some of the issues that are relevant nowadays in the energy system. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Comparative study of residue pellets from cane sugar and palm-oil industries with commercial wood pellets, applied in downdraft gasification

    Författare :Catharina Erlich; Torsten Fransson; Björn Zethraeus; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy engineering; Mechanical and thermal engineering; Mekanisk och termisk energiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : While biomass utilization for energy conversion in the industrialized nations is being largely developed, highly efficient and environmentally friendly, many tropical countries still use biomass at low efficiencies and high emission levels. The main reasons for these gaps are both political and technological: the energy markets are different, the Gross National Product (GDP) differs widely, and the feedstock differs in form and conversion behaviour.
