Sustainable Development & Sustainable
energy systems
Energy Utilization in the world and Sweden
and policy issues
Challenges: Examples: from Climate change
(Global system) to Humid Air Turbine
(Technical components)

Sustainbility and sustaiable
development



Sustainability: Refers to whether a process can
be continued indefinitely without depleting the
energy or material resources on which it
depends.
sustainable development: Development that
provides people with a better life without
sacrificing or depleting resources or causing
environmental impacts that will undercut future
generations.
sustainable society. A society that functions in a
way so as not to deplete energy or material
resources on which it depends.

Three dimensions of sustainable development
development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs
The economy
growth
financial stability
Energy
The social welfare
The environment
employment
social and culture

Challenges to sustainable development





Global energy consumption: developing countries, e.g.,
nearly 2 billion people lack access to electricity. could be
5 billion in 2050.
Local and regional pollution from fossil fuels (developing
countries) + climate change (developed countries)
Security of energy supply
Reform and privatisation of energy market: power
energy policy-making is changing fast. Just as market,
more and more issues require regional or global coordination.
Improvements in energy efficiency and reductions in the
cost of renewable energy sources
2003-09-Yan
Energy
Energy plays an important role for all above sustainable
developments. We need a sustainable energy system

Sustainable Energy Systems:
– improving energy efficiency
– switching to environmentally less harmful fuels, such as
renewable energies
– the global equilibrium of energy production and consumption

provides services ? A “heat engine model”

Climate Change !

CO2 Emissions by fuel
2003-09-Yan
CO2 emissions by region
2003-09-Yan
2003-09-Yan
Reason 1 - increase emissions: energy production,
industrial processes and transport.
The industrialised countries consequently must
bear the main responsibility of reducing emissions
of carbon dioxide.
2003-09-Yan
Reason 2: decrease carbon sink
cutting down forest uisng for or built-up areas,
urbanisation, roads etc

Future CO2 Stabilization Targets
2003-09-Yan
？？ How to manage carbon ？？
to reach the target
Options focused on fossil fuels:
- reduce emissions
- capture emissions
2003-09-Yan
A New Concept:

The state of art: based on the fossil fuels. -->
– it is possible to reduce emissions
– but impossible to avoid emissions
= reduce increasing emissions


New idea: renewable (bioenergy) + removal
technology
New technical solution:
Biomass (= CO2 neutral) + capture CO2
==>> Negative CO2 emission
 Managing Climate Risk
2003-09-Yan
Advantages of Managing Climate Risk

Increase the carbon sink by increase
use of biomass to substitute fossil fuels

Cost Effective CO2 Capture
