Adding value to side-streams in the food and beverage industry: Lessons for the circular bioeconomy
Klitkou, Antje; Bolwig, Simon (NIFU Insight;2019-12, Others, 2019-06-13)We present main challenges and opportunities for the valorisation of side-streams in the food and beverage industry, based on comparative case studies in Norway and in Denmark: on whey in the dairy industry, on animal ... -
Beyond animal feed? The valorisation of brewers’ spent grain
Bolwig, Simon; Mark, Michael Spjelkavik; Happel, Maaike Karlijn; Brekke, Andreas (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2019)The beer brewing industry has long been considered somewhat bio-circular since the major part of its organic side-stream, spent grain, returns to the biological system in the form of animal feed. In many places, spent grain ... -
Climate-friendly but socially rejected energy-transition pathways: The integration of techno-economic and socio-technical approaches in the Nordic-Baltic region
Bolwig, Simon; Bolkesjø, Torjus Folsland; Klitkou, Antje; Lund, Peter D.; Bergaentzlé, Claire; Borch, Kristian; Olsen, Ole Jess; Kirkerud, Jon Gustav; Chen, Yi-Kuang; Gunkel, Philip Andreas; Skytte, Klaus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A framework to account for social acceptance in the modelling of energy-transition pathways is outlined. The geographical focus is on the Nordic-Baltic energy region and the technological focus is on onshore wind power and ... -
Creating Prospective Value Chains for Renewable Road Transport Energy Sources
Wessberg, Nina; Leinonen, Anna; Tuominen, Anu; Eerola, Annele; Bolwig, Simon (EFP Brief;257, Others, 2014-07)If the Nordic energy and transport sectors are to meet the 2050 energy and climate policy targets, major systemic chang-es are necessary. The transition requires cooperation between public and private actors. The approach ... -
Forks in the road to e-mobility: An evaluation of instrument interaction in national policy mixes in Northwest Europe
Dijk, Marc; Iversen, Eric James; Klitkou, Antje; Kemp, René; Bolwig, Simon; Borup, Mads; Møllgaard, Peter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This paper evaluates how policy shaped the emergence of electric mobility in three countries, Norway, the Netherlands and Denmark, between 2010 and 2015. Whereas previous studies have looked at the effects of separate ... -

Modelling energy production flexibility: system dynamics approach
Gravelsinš, Armands; Bazbauers, Gatis; Blumberga, Andra; Blumberga, Dagnija; Bolwig, Simon; Klitkou, Antje; Lund, Peter D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-08)Article shows how system dynamics modelling (SDM) approach could be used in modelling the energy transition towards low carbon energy system. SDM can be used to combine the techno-economic and socio-technical analysis. The ... -
Pathway analysis of a zero-emission transition in the Nordic-Baltic region
Lund, Peter D.; Skytte, Klaus; Bolwig, Simon; Bolkesjø, Torjus Folsland; Bergaentzlé, Claire; Gunkel, Philipp Andreas; Kirkerud, Jon Gustav; Klitkou, Antje; Koduvere, Hardi; Gravelsinš, Armands; Blumberga, Dagnija; Söder, Lennart (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-29)A zero-emission pathway for the Nordic and Baltic region in Europe is described based on the comprehensive policy and scenario analyses, accompanied by energy system modelling. The analyses show that a least-cost strategy ... -
