1. 1. Exploring potential E-fuel production pathways for maritime and aviation sectors in France : a techno-economic and environmental assessment

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

   Author : Mathieu Minaud; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aviation and maritime industries pose significant challenges for decarbonization, having increased activity in the past decade. One promising solution to limit emissions in these sectors is Electrofuels (E-fuel), derived from water electrolysis hydrogen and captured CO2 or nitrogen. READ MORE

3. 2. Digging Deeper: Exploring Roads to Inclusive Development Through Mine Closure Policy and Practices in the Dominican Republic

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : Bianca Terrero Vega; [2023]
   Keywords : mine closure; inclusive development; mineral governance; community engagement; energy transition metals; just transitions.; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Mining operations have significant environmental and social impacts, including ecosystem fragmentation, biodiversity loss, pollution, and social issues such as low wages and unsafe working conditions. Despite these negative effects, mining plays a crucial role in the transition to low-carbon technologies and the demand for energy transition minerals is expected to surge. READ MORE

4. 3. Cannibalization of Renewable Energy in Spain: Market Implications and Mitigation Strategies through CArbon Pricing and Gurarantess of Origin

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

   Author : Fredrik Lannhard; [2023]
   Keywords : Cannibalization; Renewable energy; Marginal pricing; Day-ahead markets; Spain; Electricity market simulation; Carbon pricing; Guarantees of origin.; Kannibalisering; Förnybar energi; Marginalprissättning; Spotmarknader; Spanien; Elmarknadssimulering; Koldioxidprissättning; Ursprungsgarantier.;

   Abstract : Renewable cannibalization refers to the phenomenon where the increasing penetration of zeromarginal cost renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, leads to a decline in their market value. By extension, this threatens to reduce investment incentives in wind and solar. READ MORE

5. 4. Operating procedures and evaluation of a carbon capture pilot plant

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Isac Logeke; [2023]
   Keywords : Carbon Capture and Storage; CCS; AMP DMSO; amine absorption; pilot plant; operating procedures; chemical engineering; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The rise in global emissions of carbon dioxide and the need for new technologies to combat climate change has prompted extensive research into carbon capture methods. This master thesis focuses on a novel carbon capture absorption technology, developed at Lund University, that utilizes the amine 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) in the organic solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to capture CO2.
