1. 1. Enabling a sustainable transition of a waterborne transport system : By identifying essential aspects and actors

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Julia Apelgren; Sara Kronvall; [2023]
   Keywords : Sustainable transition; Waterborne transport system; Transport system; Public transport system; Fossil free fuels; System theory; Passenger ferry; Commuter ferry; Electric ferry; Hållbar omställning; Vattenburet transport system; Transport system; Kollektivtrafik; Fossila bränslen; Systemteori; Passagerarfärja; Pendelbåt; Elektrisk färja;

   Abstract : In light of the emerging consequences of climate change, there is a need for a sustainable transition of the marine sector, including waterborne transport systems, towards implementation of fossil free fuels and technologies. The thesis limits its scope to solely include passenger ferries that are suitable for calm waters and often operates on shorter distances, which are often incorporated in a public transport system and/or archipelago traffic.

   Keywords : RoRo Ports; Energy Flows; Energy Development; Energy Strategies; Renewable Energy; Ports; Energy Hub; Energy Storage; Hydrogen; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The recent push for decarbonization in the maritime sector presents an opportunity for ports to strengthen their position as energy hubs. This work studies the existing energy flows in the Port of Trelleborg, one of Europe's biggest roll-on, roll-off ports, and proposes some energy-related development strategies. READ MORE

5. 4. Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of electric hydrofoil boats and fossil driven alternatives

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Dennis Olsson; Felix Glaunsinger; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The pressure on the planet from Global Warming mainly originates from human activity since the Industrial Revolution. If the average temperature would increase by 1.5 degrees compared to pre- industrial level, this could highly affect areas such as biodiversity, food availability and water levels, to just name a few.
