Using cost analysis to bring circularity Life-cycle cost analysis is a powerful tool to make companies more resource-efficient and enable them to adopt new business models. There are, however, several factors that hinder its use. “Money talks”, says the researcher.
The surprising breadth of biogas A new dissertation from LiU tries to explain the advantages and disadvantages of biogas use and how decision supportcan be used to give decision-makers a more complete picture of the biogas' versatility.
How to energy renovate older residential buildings A new strategy for the energy renovation of older residential buildings would open opportunities to save energy and money, while reducing impact on the climate. The current guidelines do not take enough consideration of the type of house.
Key indicators can help industry save energy By comparing different industrial processes, companies and official bodies can increase their knowledge about possible savings of energy. There is a huge potential for reductions in energy consumption and less impact on the climate.
Biogas is always good – but not always best Biogas has many positive sides – but it’s not best at everything. A source of energy should be analysed from several perspectives and compared with the alternatives. It is also important to determine which factors are most important.
Huge potential for energy savings in the aluminium industry The Swedish aluminium industry could save huge amounts of energy and significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. There are strong driving forces for this, but also significant barriers. These are the conclusions of a new PhD-thesis at LiU.
How energy renovations of older buildings can reduce energy use Energy renovation of older multi-family buildings can nearly halve energy use. When considering costs, it is usually better to renovate a building than to demolish it and build a new one. These are the conclusions of a thesis presented at LiU.
Large positive secondary effects when industry saves energy Improvements in energy efficiency in industry often give rise to large positive secondary effects. Even so, these added values are seldom given weight when considering whether to reduce energy consumption.
