  • Systems Perspectives on Electromobility
  • 2017
  • Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The transportation of goods and people is at the heart of the industrial society. Yet transportation relies heavily upon oil – a scarce fossil fuel that contributes to climate change and local air pollution. The term ‘electromobility’ refers to an alternative transportation system based on vehicles propelled by electricity. Electromobility is increasingly seen as favourable in that it could circumvent problems related to both oil and biofuels whilst meeting our mobility needs and desires. However, the virtue of electromobility is not uncontested and a range of questions demand an answer: if electric vehicles are energy efficient; if they are safe; how environmental friendly they are; if metal resource scarcity will limit their use; to what extent driving patterns shape or are shaped by new types of vehicles; if electromobility is suitable only for cars and not for heavy vehicles, or vice versa; and what type of new business models and governmental policy support that is required to stimulate demand for electric vehicles.There is not one final answer to questions like these. However, studying electromobility from different systems perspectives can help to resolve such complex issues. The seventeen chapters of Systems Perspectives on Electromobility 2017 address different topics related to the immensely important issue of whether – and to what extent – our transport systems can and should be energised by electricity.

  • Systems Perspectives on Electromobility 2013
  • 2013
  • Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The transportation of goods and people is at the heart of the industrial society.Yet transportation relies heavily upon oil – a scarce fossil fuel that contributes toclimate change and local air pollution. The term ‘electromobility’ refers to an alternativetransportation system based on vehicles propelled by electricity. Electromobilityis increasingly seen as favourable in that it could circumvent problems relatedto both oil and biofuels whilst meeting our mobility needs and desires. However,the virtue of electromobility is not uncontested and a range of issues come to thefore. Are electric vehicles energy efficient? Are they safe? How much greenhousegas is emitted in the production of electricity and advanced vehicle components?Will battery production lead to new resource problems? Will electromobilitypromote or hinder the diffusion of renewable energy? Will driving patterns shapeor be shaped by new types of vehicles? Is electromobility suitable for cars but notfreight transport? How is technical knowledge for electromobility produced andby whom? Is the automotive industry up to the challenge? Is there a need for newbusiness models and governmental policy support (or both) to stimulate marketdemand for electric vehicles?There is no simple answer to these questions. However, studying electromobilityfrom different systems perspectives can help to resolve these complex issues.Systems Perspectives on Electromobility 2013 is composed of fifteen chaptersthat address different topics related to the immensely important issue of whether– and to what extent – our transport systems can and should be energised byelectricity. The book is far from complete, but we hope it may be a useful startingpoint for future discussions and debates.

  • Chalmers Environmental Initiative Progress Report 2001
  • 2001
  • Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The Board of the Chalmers University of TechnologyFoundation decided in 1999 to invest SEK 100million in a strategic investment in the environmentwith a special focus on environmental systems analysis.This investment was entitled The ChalmersEnvironmental Initiative (CEI). Through thisenvironmental initiative Chalmers has acquired aprominent international position within environmentalsystems analysis.CEI is the result of the active research and educationthat has taken place at Chalmers over the past 10years. A broad base in combination with leadingedge technology presented the opportunity to createa very strong research programme based oninteraction between the various schools at Chalmers.As CEI is integrated into undergraduate anddoctoral programmes at Chalmers, engineers,architects and doctoral students have access, withinthe framework of their studies, to research-basedenvironmental education with a focus on asustainable society. CEI also co-operates with otherparties, such as industry, politicians, various organisationsand the general public, as a further means ofcontributing to sustainable development in society.Within CEI, seven new professors have beenappointed within the following areas:Management for SustainabilityRolf Wolff, 1 June 2000Environmental Systems TechnologyAnne-Marie Tillman, 1 September 2000Sustainable Industrial MetabolismChristian Azar, 1 September 2000Global Environmental MeasurementsDonal Murtagh, 1 November 2000Green ChemistryWilliam J. Frederick Jr, 1 August 2001Sustainable Energy SystemsFilip Johnsson, preliminary 1 October 2001Design for Sustainable Urban DevelopmentVacant: interviews during April 2001The four professors appointed in 2000 are presentedin this report as well as their declaration of intentfor the next few years. At present, the CEI professorsare involved with approximately 40 universities,institutes and industrial partners in the form ofproject co-operation and joint publications. The fourprofessors have the greater proportion of theirenvironmental research funded through externalgrants, compared to CEI. The proportion of facultyfunds and other internal Chalmers funds is at presentvery low. A summary of the financing structureis also included in this report.During 2001, various forms of co-operation wereinitiated between the professors, such as joint projectplans, doctoral students, courses and graduateschools. During autumn 2001, a residential seminaris planned for discussions within CEI as well as anopen presentation of the project and the professors.This major in-house focus on environmental researchhas attracted attention externally and contributedto the opening up of new potential in combinationwith increased expectations. Since May 1, 2000,Chalmers has been a member of the Alliance forGlobal Sustainability (AGS), an association of someof the world’s foremost universities in theenvironmental field. AGS and other platforms formthe basis for international research collaboration.CEI and other environmental activities have led tospin-off effects and contributed to increased interestin Chalmers as an environmental university.Chalmers and Göteborg University were, forexample, jointly awarded the King Carl XVI Gustafvisiting professorship in environmental science for2001-2002 and Margot Wallström received anhonorary doctorate from Chalmers in 2001. A largenumber of well-known environmental researchershave also visited Chalmers to take part inconferences and seminars, including the winners ofthe Volvo Environmental Award for 2000 and thewinner of the City of Göteborg InternationalEnvironmental Award for 2000.

  • European Energy Pathways - Pathways to sustainable european energy systems
  • 2011
  • Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
    • To meet the challenge of climate change, the world must substaintially reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). this must be accomplished in a way that maintains security of supply and competitiveness.This book presents to pathways towards sustainable European energy systems - the "Policy Pathway" and the "Market Pathway". These to pathways differ with respect to where the main responsability lies for transforming the energy system in following the pathway. The Policy pathway takes its departure from the EU Energy and Climate Package, and has a strong focus on targeted policies that promote energy efficiency and energy from renewable sources. The Market Pathway relies more on the market to transform the energy system, and presents a future in which the cost associated with emitting CO2 (and other GHGs) is the dominating policy measure.This book describes the research that has been carried out during the first period (2006-2010) of the AGS project "Pathways to Sustsainable Energy Systems". This interdisciplinary project involved more than 40 researchers and addressed various aspects of the challenges faced in transforming the European energy system. The chapters in this book cover more than 30 topics and presents an overall picture of the results obtained to date from various activities in the Pathways project.
