CO2 emissions attributed to annual average electricity consumption in OECD (the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries
Soimakallio, Sampo; Saikku, Laura - In: Energy 38 (2012) 1, pp. 13-20
When regulating GHG emissions at the country or product level, it is critical to determine the GHG emissions from electricity consumption. In this study, we calculated production-based and consumption-based CO2 emission intensities of electricity for the OECD (the Organisation for Economic...

Co-firing of biomass waste-derived syngas in coal power boiler
Kalisz, Sylwester; Pronobis, Marek; Baxter, David - In: Energy 33 (2008) 12, pp. 1770-1778
The paper deals with waste gasification as a technology allowing for indirect co-firing of large quantities of biodegradable wastes in coal-fired power boilers. In contrast to common landfilling and direct co-firing, gasification of wastes presents a number of advantages. Problematic species in...
