Burn or let them bury? The net social cost of producing district heating from imported waste
Energy Economics, 2022 In this study, a net social cost framework is applied to provide insights on policy issues relating to the cross-border trade in waste fuel. We estimate the net social cost of using imported waste fuel in a highly efficient combined heat and power plant (CHP) in a cold climate by considering both private costs and benefits as well as external costs ...

Market Integration of Excess Heat
, 2022 Excess heat will be an important heat source in future carbon-neutral district heating systems. A barrier to excess heat integration is the lack of appropriate scheduling and pricing systems for these producers, which generally have small capacity and ...

Life cycle assessment of small-scale combined heat and power plant: Environmental impacts of different forest biofuels and replacing district heat produced from natural gas [PDF]
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2018 Abstract Forest biomass is used in many countries as an abundant and easily accessible source of renewable energy. While forest biomass has certain advantages in terms of carbon sink capability, it cannot be considered an emission-free energy source, and the environmental differences among various forest biomass sources have been unclear.
