  1. 11. Finding ways to develop a sustainable bioeconomy: The case of industrial cassava in Colombia : Environmental impact and food security insights from a combined life cycle assessment and interview study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Isabel Nilsson Alarcón; [2023]
    Keywords : industrial cassava; food security; land use; climate change; biodiversity loss; sustainable bioeconomy; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; Colombia; industriell kassava; tryggad livsmedelsförsörjning; markanvändning; klimatförändring; minskad biodiversitet; hållbar bioekonomi; livscykelanalys LCA ; Colombia;

    Abstract : Cassava has been identified as a potential key crop for a sustainable bioeconomy in Colombia.However, the bioeconomy is not inherently sustainable, and neither is producing cassava,which makes research on it crucial. Increasing biomass circularity could be key for increasingthe cassava industry’s sustainability performance. READ MORE

  3. 12. Lifecycle Assessment of a Lithium-ion Battery Storage System for Frequency Regulation in a Real-World Application

    University essay from

    Author : Samuel Sulemanu; [2023]
    Keywords : Frequency Containment Reserve - Disturbance FCR-D ; Frequency Regulation; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; Lithium-ion Battery; Simapro; Renewable Energy; Solar PV; Wind; Energy; Climate Change;

    Abstract : Integrating more renewable energy sources into the grid has caused increased instability due to the intermittency of renewable energy sources. Hence, the need for grid balancing strategies such as frequency regulation has intensified. READ MORE

  4. 13. Life cycle assessment on sodium-ion cells for energy storage systems : A cradle-to-gate study including 16 environmental perspectives, focusing on climate change impact

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

    Author : Rebecca Nibelius; [2023]
    Keywords : Sodium-ion batteries; Life cycle assessment; Cradle-to-gate; Natriumbatterier; Livscykelanalys; Vagga-till-port;

    Abstract : Because of the changing energy supply landscape, with the transition towards renewable energy, an emerging demand for energy storage systems (ESS) is expected in the near future. Battery energy storage is promising to contribute to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions, but face issues considering resource use (IEA, 2023; IRENA, 2022). READ MORE

  5. 14. Human Rights Violations and Machine Learning - Cluster Analysis of Countries using the CIRIGHTS Dataset

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Emilie Ståhle; Emilie Haubrich; [2023]
    Keywords : Human Rights Violation; Clustering; K-Means; Latent Class Analysis; Transition Matrix; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This master's thesis explores the use of unsupervised machine learning techniques to cluster countries based on their degree of human rights violations. Accordingly, the study evaluates the performance of two clustering methods, K-Means clustering and Latent Class Analysis (LCA), using two cluster validation metrics (Silhouette Coefficient and Dunn Index), as well as an Accuracy measure using the Human Rights index.

  6. 15. Challenges to using recycled High-density polyethylene materials for pipe manufacturing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Lisa Erichs; [2023]
    Keywords : HDPE; Pressure pipe; Recycling; Properties; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Recycling has become increasingly relevant to solve environmental problems related to the enormous amount of plastic waste. Recycling plastic has many environmental benefits, but it is challenging to find applications where recycled plastic can provide the same functionality as virgin plastic. READ MORE
