The thermochemical process alternatives for the production of liquid fuels from biomass/solid waste are assessed and air and oxygen gasification concepts are compared. The air gasification option seems economically attractive. The authors put forward a proposal for a treatment process of 1 kton/day

In recent years, the introduction of superconducting magnetic energy storage systems (SMES) into a power system is drawing considerable research effort because of their high efficiency rate and large storage capacity characteristics. In this paper, the introduction of SMES into a power system and i
The methodology used and results obtained for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) plants in recent Swiss life-cycle assessment (LCA) studies on current and future energy systems are discussed. Mono-and polycrystalline silicon cell technologies utilized in current panels as well as monocrystalline and a
An imlementation of life-cycle analysis (LCA) for energy systems is presented and applied to two renewable energy systems (wind turbines and building-integrated photovoltaic modules) and compared with coal plants. ## KEYWORDS Life-cycle analysis, externalities, renewable energy systems, wind powe
Energy balances are analysed from a life-cycle perspective for biogas systems based on 8 different raw materials. The analysis is based on published data and relates to Swedish conditions. The results show that the energy input into biogas systems (i.e. large-scale biogas plants) overall corresponds
