The thesis provides insights on selected bioenergy issues: the use of biofuels for transportation versus heat and electricity and the possibilities for (i) biomass co-firing with coal for electricity generation, (ii) co-generation of biofuels for transportation and heat for district heating systems, (iii) an increased international biofuels trade and (iv) different bioenergy trading options, all in relation to policy targets.
It is based on energy system analyses, in particular energy systems modelling and energy technology assessments.
