1. 1. Biobased iron pellet production : Assessment of the availability and sustainability of biomass as fuel for iron ore pellet production in LKAB

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, design och hållbar utveckling (2023-)

   Author : Magnus Kemi; [2023]
   Keywords : bio-energy; biomass; coal; greenhouse gas emissions; industrial residues; LCA; LKAB; logging residues; iron ore; pellets; sinters; willow; sustainability;

   Abstract : Iron production accounts for substantial shares of global coal use and GHG emissions. LKAB is Europe’s largest iron company and Sweden’s fourth-largest emitter of GHGs. To reduce its emissions, LKAB might implement biomass in iron ore pelletisation. READ MORE

3. 2. Forest growth under future climate change in the context of bioenergy – case studies of combined heat and power plants in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Chi Yuen Hui; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography; Climate Change; Ecosystem Modelling; LPJ-GUESS; BECCS; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The pressure to achieve net-zero emissions has pushed for new technologies including carbon capture and storage (CCS) based on the combustion of biomass (BECCS). While bioenergy is a relatively mature industry in Sweden, the addition of CCS may increase the demand for local biomass. READ MORE

4. 3. Finding ways to develop a sustainable bioeconomy: The case of industrial cassava in Colombia : Environmental impact and food security insights from a combined life cycle assessment and interview study

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Isabel Nilsson Alarcón; [2023]
   Keywords : industrial cassava; food security; land use; climate change; biodiversity loss; sustainable bioeconomy; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; Colombia; industriell kassava; tryggad livsmedelsförsörjning; markanvändning; klimatförändring; minskad biodiversitet; hållbar bioekonomi; livscykelanalys LCA ; Colombia;

   Abstract : Cassava has been identified as a potential key crop for a sustainable bioeconomy in Colombia.However, the bioeconomy is not inherently sustainable, and neither is producing cassava,which makes research on it crucial. Increasing biomass circularity could be key for increasingthe cassava industry’s sustainability performance. READ MORE

5. 4. Increase of biogas production by incorporating residual streams from agriculture

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Stephanie Fjäll; [2022]
   Keywords : Anaerobic digestion; Agricultural residue; Lignocellulosic biomass; Mechanical pretreatment; Biogas production; Biorefinery; Chemical engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : To expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. READ MORE

6. 5. Thermochemical energy utilization of biomass in Rwanda - a screening of potential feedstocks

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

   Author : Felix Johansson Carne; [2022]
   Keywords : bioenergy; agricultural; residues; waste; agroforestry; africa; energiteknik; bioenergi; jordbruksrester; afrika; termokemisk; bränslen;

   Abstract : Traditional bioenergy practices in sub-Saharan Africa involve collecting natural forest wood and burning it in simple fireplaces for household cooking. This is actually still very common, especially in rural areas. The situation is unfortunately connected to health issues, inequality and natural forest degradation and deforestation. READ MORE
