1. 1. Profitability During a Sustainability Transformation - A Case Study of a Swedish Petroleum and Biofuel Company

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Michael Crona; Filip Linnér; [2023-02-27]
   Keywords : This report examines the financial profitability of a petroleum and biofuel company during their sustainability transformation. The case company is Preem AB; the largest fuel company in Sweden. The study finds that debt-to-equity ratios tend to increase with investments in more sustainable solutions. This could propose a higher financial risk to the firm. The report also proposes and discuss the use of metrics for CO2- emission that are easier to understand than just the weight of the gas emitted. Preem does not seem to benefit from being part of the European Union’s Emissions Trading System ETS ; since their green investments are focused on reducing emissions in the use phase of their products; not in the production phase; which is what the ETS measures and rewards. The case study is based on an interview with a director at Preem to get an insight to the green investments. Data for financial- and environmental performance are collected from official reports published by Preem.;

   Abstract : This report examines the financial profitability of a petroleum and biofuel company during their sustainability transformation. The case company is Preem AB, the largest fuel company in Sweden. The study finds that debt-to-equity ratios tend to increase with investments in more sustainable solutions. READ MORE

3. 2. Managing Greenhouse Gas Emission in Scope 3 : a qualitative case study on the Swedish real estate sector

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Author : Emma Bevegård; Sofia Bergbom Olsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Scope 3 emissions; Swedish real estate companies; GHG emissions; management; collaboration; co-creation;

   Abstract : While many real estate companies have been reporting and managing emissions in scope 1 and 2, scope 3 emissions remain underreported. The real estate industry accounts for 29 per cent of the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the European Union, where most of their emissions stems from scope 3. READ MORE

4. 3. Towards low carbon buildings: A case study in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Huynh Tuan Tran; Victor-Antoine Delorme; [2023]
   Keywords : Life cycle assessment; Environmental impact of building materials; Carbon neutrality; Biobased material; Biochar; Cross Laminated Timber; Biogenic carbon; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study comprehensively evaluated the global warming potential of an office building in a newly built Scandinavian neighbourhood seeking to reach sustainability. The primary objective of the research was to support the city authorities of Helsingborg by providing valuable insights into actual carbon emissions at the building level and proposing measures to minimize these emissions to achieve climate neutrality by 2030.

5. 4. Design and processing of metal-organic frameworks for greenhouse gas capture

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

   Author : Evelina Wiksten; [2023]
   Keywords : Metal-organic frameworks; zeolitic imidazolate frameworks; carbon capture; gas adsorption; direct ink writing;

   Abstract : Anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases has long been suspected to contribute to global warming and climate change. Most greenhouse gases are emitted in a mixture, so efficient methods and materials to separate and capture the gases are in demand in order to reduce emissions. READ MORE

6. 5. Heat recovery from low emission steel production through electrolysis and hydrogen reduction

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Sofia Kongshöj; [2023]
   Keywords : Electrolysis; H2 Green Steel H2GS ; waste heat recovery; district heating.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The steel industry is a large emitter of carbon dioxide and uses a lot of energy. Because of an increased awareness of the detrimental effects of climate change, research in alternative ways to operate steel plants have been made. It is now possible to build plants with far less emissions by using electrolysis and hydrogen reduction. READ MORE
