  1. 1. Analysing the effects of 24/7 Carbon-free Energy procurement strategies on the electricity system : Case Study of commercial and industrial sector in the Netherlands

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

    Author : NINA JABŁOŃSKA; [2023]
    Keywords : 24 7 Carbon-free Energy; carbon accounting; corporate electricity procurement; Energy Attribute Certificates; hourly matching; the Netherlands.; 24 7 kolfri energi; koldioxidredovisning; företagens elupphandling; energiattributcertifikat; timmatchning; Nederländerna.;

    Abstract : Considering the growing importance of the electricity sector in the worldwide decarbonisation efforts, as well as large volumes of energy consumed by the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector, corporate power procurement is found to be a significant contributor to building a net zero economy. Within this topic, hourly matching of carbon-free electricity supply with demand, or 24/7 Carbon-free Energy (24/7 CFE), is identified as a next-generation power procurement framework, with growing interest from a wide range of stakeholders in the energy sector and benefits backed by robust research evidence.

    Abstract : Sweden has goals to reach net-zero emissions by 2045. Although electricity sector is almost fossil free, industry & transport still rely on fossil fuels. Ambitious initiatives such as HYBRIT, growth of EV market & expansion of wind power aim to expedite emission reduction. READ MORE

  3. 3. Risk Factors of Food Loss and Waste, and Life Cycle Assessment of waste management strategies in the Brazilian Leafy Vegetable Supply Chain

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Nathalie Garavito; [2023]
    Keywords : Behavioural causes; carbon footprint; causal mapping; mitigation strategies; prevention; root-cause analysis; take-back agreements;

    Abstract : Food loss and waste (FLW) occurring early in the food supply chain (FSC) leads to increased resource wastage, including land, water, fertilisers, pesticides, fuel, packaging, energy, and labour. Targeting FLW prevention benefits various aspects such as food security, productivity, economic growth, climate change mitigation, resource conservation, and food waste management. READ MORE

  4. 4. Techno-economic fesibility of a hybrid CSP (sCO2) - PV plant for hydrogen production

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

    Author : Patricia Perez De La Calle; [2023]
    Keywords : Soec oxide electrolyzer cell SOEC ; Concentrated solar plant CSP ; Super critical cO2 sCO2 ; photovoltaic field PV ; Thermal storage TES ; electrolyzer; MoSES; high temperature electrolysis THE .;

    Abstract : The global need to eliminate CO2 emissions and its consequent reduction in the use of fossil fuels drives the ongoing energy transition that highly involves the research achievements of the scientific community to reach the goals of this purpose. Renewable sources like photovoltaic and wind energy, are central to this endeavor, however, the intermittency of natural resources makes it non-dispatchable and energy storage is fundamental.
