Scenarios for evaluating energy efficiency measures in industrial energy systems

Report, 2004

Decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will be a major driver when designing or retrofitting industrial process energy systems in the future. This can be achieved by e.g. increased heat recovery, heat pumping of waste heat, integration of combined heat and power (CHP), increased component energy efficiency, and switching to renewable fuels. For many applications, it is expected that energy policy instruments will result in fuel switching in favour of biomass fuels. Biomass fuel is a limited resource, thus it is expected that the increased demand for biofuel will increase the market price for this type of fuel.
