  1. 1. The role of community renewable energy in the transition to renewable heating - The case of Germany

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Katharina Hartmann; [2022]
    Keywords : Community renewable energy; heating decarbonisation; Germany; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : In the past decades, community renewable energy (CRE) has significantly contributed to the uptake of renewable technology to decarbonise Germany's electricity sector. Meanwhile, the primary source of household emissions – heating – is still highly dependent on fossil fuels, especially gas. READ MORE

  3. 2. Phasing out Gas? Implications of the Narratives around Natural Gas for Germany’s Heat Transition in the Building Sector

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Anna Katrin Kraus; [2022]
    Keywords : heat transition; building sector; natural gas; narratives and discourses; lock-in effects; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Germany must decarbonise the heating of its buildings, now majorly dependent on natural gas, to meet its climate neutrality pledge. However, the share of natural gas-based heating has not been decreasing in the last decades, and Germany continuously failed to meet the building sector’s emission reduction targets. READ MORE

  4. 3. Energy supply system for a high-rise building in Germany : Optimization of a heating and cooling supply system made with plant simulations

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Ida Almén; Elin Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : energy supply system; absorption chiller; compression chiller; Germany;

    Abstract : The building sector has great potential for energy savings since it is responsible for nearly a third of the global energy use. As oil, coal and natural gas continues to hold a big share of the energy mix it is important to work towards introducing more renewable energy alternatives. READ MORE

  5. 4. Techno-economic Analysis and Market Potential Study of Solar Heat in Industrial Processes : A Fresnel Direct Steam Generation case study

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Guillermo de Santos López; [2021]
    Keywords : Solar heat in industrial processes; techno-economic analysis; market potential; direct steam generation; Fresnel technology;

    Abstract : The industrial sector not only has a big contribution to global emissions but also a low share of renewable energy for heat demand. Knowing that most of the energy consumption in industry is heat and that half of it is at medium-low temperature (below 400 ºC), it is a great market for the integration of solar thermal technologies.
