1. 1. Integrating Waste Heat from Hydrogen Production Into District Heating

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Fawzi Kayali; [2023]
   Keywords : Hydrogen; Electrolysis; Waste Heat Recovery; Combined Heat and Power Plant; District Heating; Simulation; Sustainable Heating Systems; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The aim of this research is to explore the feasibility of the integration of waste heat from electrolyzers within a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant and district heating (DH) network and suggest a practical setup for integration. With the escalating emphasis on the development of green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by renewable energy, a substantial amount of waste heat is generated, typically left unused. READ MORE

3. 2. Life Cycle Assessment of Absolicon solar thermal collector field for district heating in Härnösand

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Ohm Ariyakhajorn; [2023]
   Keywords : Life Cycle Assessment; Solar Thermal Energy; District Heating System; Livscykelanalys; Solvärme; Fjärrvärmesystem;

   Abstract : Global energy consumption has been increasing continuously every year. Many energy sources are utilized. Conventional fossil fuels are not sustainable, and their environmental impacts are more apparent than ever before. For heating purposes, most of the heat still comes from combustion of both non-renewable and renewable energy sources. READ MORE
