Optimizing forest value chains in northern Norway to strengthen regional resource usage and value creation
As a consequence of past decades' extensive afforestation in Norway, mature forest volumes are increasing. National forestry politics aim call for sustainable and efficient resource usage and for increased regional processing. Regional policies seek to provide good conditions for such industries to ...
Optimal transportation of logs and location of quay facillities in coastal regions og Norway
Transportation of timber in coastal regions of Norway is challenging. Transport by ship and availability of appropriate quay facilities are of major importance to increase the harvesting and use of wood, and to secure an efficient and flexible transportation system. An optimisation model is develope...
Analysis of carbon capture in an industrial park - A case study
Great concern has been expressed about the rapid increases in anthropogenic carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions. Taxation of CO2 emissions and carbon capture are two ways of reducing the emissions. We analyse these two measures in the context of a case study of an extension of a small industrial park in ...
Use of Natural Gas with High CO2 Content in an Integrated Industrial Park
Using Operations Research to Plan Natural Gas Production and Transportation on the Norwegian Continental Shelf
Decisions regarding natural gas production, processing, and transportation in interconnected networks depend on each other. Changes in the system affect both its capacity and flexibility. We discuss the main elements of the GassOpt model, an application developed to ensure optimal operation of this ...
