If bioenergy has a less negative impact on the climate than fossil energy, it may be optimal to have a significant increase in the use of bioenergy over time. Due to the difference in the way the climate is affected by the two types of energy, the future time path of the use of bioenergy may be...

In this paper we develop an applied general equilibrium framework for assessing socio-economic impacts of alternative renewable energy policies and apply it to the bioenergy sector. The policy scenarios are assessed in a comparative static analysis. The numerical simulation results allow us to...

The black liquor is valuable biomass that can be recycled as renewable energy in the form of CO2 -neutral fuels. However, the combustion of biomass results in a large amount of ash deposits reducing heat transfer efficiency. Therefore, all recovery boilers have an ash deposit removal system...
