1. 16. The carbon footprint of rye bread production in Sweden : a life cycle assessment (LCA) of the Fazer product Rågkusar

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

   Author : Stella Hildersten; [2023]
   Keywords : Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; bread; rye bread; bread production; sustainable development; carbon footprint; global warming potential;

   Abstract : The future will require sustainable food systems; systems that meets the present and the future with consideration of economic and social development, as well as environmental protection. In the current food system, two key drivers towards environmental pressure are agriculture and food consumption. READ MORE

3. 17. Hard to reach energy consumers in Sweden

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

   Author : Sanna Lundin; [2023]
   Keywords : Energy consumers; hard to reach energy consumers; HTR; policies; behavior; FCM; Energikonsumenter; HTR; politiska åtgärder; FCM; beteende;

   Abstract : The transition towards a sustainable and low-carbon future requires significant changes in energy behaviour among energy consumers. However, the question remains about how, by whom, and what changes are necessary to achieve this transition. READ MORE

4. 18. Towards Affordable Sodium-Ion Batteries : Mechanochemical Synthesis and Electrochemical Assessment of Iron-Based Fluorophosphate Cathode Material

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Ratna Juwita; [2023]
   Keywords : Sodium-ion batteries; electrical energy storage EES ; iron oxide; positive electrode; material characterization; electrochemical; discharge capacity.; Natriumjonbatterier; elektrisk energilagring EES ; järnoxid; positiv elektrod; materialkarakterisering; elektrokemisk; urladdningskapacitet;

   Abstract : An urgent transformation from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources to combat climate change has led to the utilization of renewable energies like solar, wind, and tidal power. However, the intermittency of these sources hinders their wider implementation. To address this, large-scale electrical energy storage (EES) systems are needed. READ MORE

5. 19. Leveraging green hydrogen to decarbonise the aviation industry : A case study on electrofuels in Sweden

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

   Author : Jakob Bergene; Jonathan Bruchhausen; [2023]
   Keywords : Electrofuel; e-fuel; electrokerosene; e-kerosene; SAF; sustainable aviation fuel; sustainable aviation; complementarity formation mechanisms; technology value chains; TVC; Techno-economic analysis; TEA; Elektrobränsle; e-bränsle; elektrofotogen; e-fotogen; SAF; sustainable aviation fuel; sustainable aviation; komplementära formationsmekanismer; technology value chains; TVC; Techno-economic analysis; TEA;

   Abstract : For the EU to reach its 2050 climate targets the aviation industry that is highly dependent on fossil fuels needs to drastically reduce its emissions. In the decarbonisation of the aviation industry drop-in sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) have been identified as a promising solution to abate the industry’s emissions. READ MORE

6. 20. Application of electrodes with redox mechanisms for the desalination of water

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Pablo Moreno Cerezo; [2023]
   Keywords : Activated Carbon Cloth ACC ; Capacitive Deionization CDI ; Cyclic Voltammetry CV ; Electrochemistry; Polyaniline PANI ; Prussian Blue PB and Redox Reactions; Aktivt koltyg ACC ; Kapacitiv avjonisering CDI ; Cyklisk voltammetri CV ; Elektrokemi; Polyanilin PANI ; Preussisk blå PB och Redoxreaktioner;

   Abstract : Capacitive deionization is a promising technology for purification and desalination of brackish water with great advantages over current technologies due to its low operating cost and high-water recovery ratio. Most of the system studied relies on the adsorption/desorption capacity of activated carbon electrodes due to its high surface area. READ MORE
