   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Lucas Dewilde Cervelló; [2021]
   Keywords : Well-to-wheels; GREET; LCA; GHG emissions; Automotive fuels; Flex fuel vehicles; E85; Electric vehicles;

   Abstract : In this thesis the effects of two future greenhouse gas emissionreducing strategies in the passenger transport sector are investigated.Three factors were modelled for 2021-2055; The life cycle emissions offour vehicle types using a well-to-wheel life cycle analysis tool calledGREET, the growth curve of these vehicle types was analyzed andextrapolated to obtain total vehicle predictions and the mileage ofthese vehicles was extrapolated from existing governmental data.

   Keywords : Battery electric vehicle; Biofuels; Greenhouse gas; Heavy-duty vehicles; LCA; Renewable energy carriers; Renewable fuels; TCO; Transport sector; Well-to-wheel; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Den svenska transportsektorn står för ungefär en tredjedel av landets totala utsläpp av växthusgaser och släppte 2019 ut 16,4 Mt CO2-ekvivalenter. Av dessa står den tunga vägtrafiken för cirka 20 % och är efter passagerarfordonen den största källan till utsläpp av växthusgaser inom sektorn. READ MORE

4. 3. DME som förnybart drivmedel till jordbruket : en studie i möjligheten att ersätta fossil diesel i jordbruksmaskiner med DME från bio-baserad råvara

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

5. 4. Integrating planetary boundaries into the life cycle assessment of electric vehicles : A case study on prioritising impact categories through environmental benchmarking in normalisation and weighting methods when assessing electric heavy-duty vehicles

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Ida Pehrson; [2020]
   Keywords : Life Cycle Assessment; Heavy-Duty Vehicles; Electric Vehicle; Normalisation; Weighting; Planetary Boundaries; Livscykelanalys; tunga transporter; elektriska fordon; normalisering; viktning; planetära gränser;

   Abstract : The transport sector is facing great challenges for achieving development within the Earth’s boundaries. Currently, LCA studies on heavy- and medium-duty vehicles have mainly assessed the ‘well-to-wheel’ stage and the impact category climate change. READ MORE
