  1. 6. Design of high performance buildings : Vulnerability of buildings to climate change from an energy perspective

    University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

    Author : Robin Gobert; [2022]
    Keywords : Climate Change; High Performance Buildings; Dynamic Thermal Simulations; Thermal Regulation; Environmental Regulation; Cooling Needs; Heating Needs; Representative Data; Big Data; Clustering;

    Abstract : The challenge of climate change is twofold: to mitigate (prevent) the causes of climate change and to prepare (adapt) to the inevitable effects and consequences. Building and construction are key sectors for decarbonisation (mitigation). READ MORE

  3. 7. Biochar Production from Municipal Sewage Sludge via Pyrolysis - The Case of Gotland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Lara-Patricia Brokmeier; [2022]
    Keywords : Biochar; Municipal Sewage Sludge; Pyrolysis; Carbon Sequestration; Heavy Metals; Gotland;

    Abstract : In order to keep global average temperature below 2°C it is necessary to accelerate climate change mitigation actions and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. This can be achieved by carbon capture and storage methods such as the production of biochar. READ MORE

  4. 8. Space Heat Power Demand for Existing Buildings : Feasibility, Improvement-Measures, and Impact on Climate Performance Using a Swedish Multi-Dwelling Building as Case Study

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Andreas Holmén; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The most commonly used indicators of energy performance of existing buildings in Sweden, Specific Energy Use (SEU) and Primary Energy Use (PEU), are very rough measures that does not account for short term effects and therefore they are not necessarily well suited to evaluate climate performance of existing buildings. In this thesis the similar but slightly different indicators Miljöbyggnad Heat Power Demand (MHPD) (Värmeeffektbehov in Swedish) and Feby Heat Loss Number (FHLN) (Värmeförlusttal in Swedish), both indicators of Space Heat Power Demand (SHPD), has been evaluated as complementary indicators to SEU and PEU.

  5. 9. Fire Risk and Hazard Analysis of Lithium-Ion Battery Technologies in Underground Facilities: A Literature Review

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Sean Meehan; [2022]
    Keywords : lithium-ion battery; hazards; risks; thermal runaway; detection; fire protection; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The past decades have seen an exponential growth of the lithium-ion battery (LIB) market as use of this high-energy storage has found applications in nearly every industry. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is interested in implementing this technology within their underground network and this literature review is intended to assist with addressing fire and safety concerns.

  6. 10. Comparative techno-economic analysis of BECCS and biochar in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Simon Martelius; [2022]
    Keywords : NETs; feasibility; cost-effectiveness; climate change-mitigation; CHP; carbon neutrality; bioenergy;

    Abstract : Greenhouse gas emissions from human activity need to decrease for the Paris agreement goal of 1.5° C of global warming to be reached, and while emission reduction efforts remain the most important tool for combating climate change, it is increasingly evident that negative emission technologies (NETs) will play a key role reaching the climate targets of the Paris agreement.
