Navigating interconnected and electrified industries in the landscape of uncertainty : Exploring outcomes and values within circular solutions, and Swedish electricity supply and utilisation dynamics
As the global community faces unprecedented climate change challenges, the transition towards a sustainable society has become an urgent priority. The complexity of this transition is characterised by the interplay of developing and implementing green manufacturing processes, integrated energy systems, and circular resource flows, and the inherent dynamics associated with geopolitical uncertainties, energy price fluctuations, and global instability. Although new technological advancements and more sustainable models are on the rise, a significant knowledge gap remains in comprehending the intricate dependencies and impacts of various uncertainties on complex industrial and energy systems. Dependency means that one component, sub-system, or variable relies on another for its operation or effectiveness. A change in one element will directly affect the other, causing changes in its status or actions. Because the components are interconnected in this way, they are not independent of each other. This knowledge gap is particularly noticeable in the lack of a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between the energy system and uncertainties. This became significantly more apparent during events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the sub-sequent Russian invasion of Ukraine. The aim of this thesis is threefold: 1) to explore identified outcomes and values in industrial symbiosis collaborations within the context of the circular economy; 2) to assess electricity dynamics under the influence of uncertainty, focusing on the Swedish industrial sectors; and 3) to present a frame-work for evaluating integrated and circular systems and the potential influencing uncertainty mechanisms. The motivation for this research comes from the limited understanding of the dynamics in future sustainable industrial systems and how intended out-comes may be affected by various unexpected events or shocks. The increasing complexity and interconnectedness, including global links, call for a broader perspective that encompasses more than ...
