  1. 1. Assessing the economic and environmental impacts of leasing batteries for electric vehicle fleets

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för industriell ekonomi

    Author : Miguel Angel Gonzalez Salazar; Georgios Kormazos; [2023]
    Keywords : circularity; LCA; NPV; leasing; batteries; electric vehicles;

    Abstract : Battery electric vehicles (BEV) powered by renewable energy are expected to enable a largedecarbonization of the land-based transport. Recent estimations of the International EnergyAgency suggest that BEVs could grow 20-fold by 2030, reaching 200 to 350 million unitsglobally. READ MORE

  3. 2. Qualitative Analysis of Chlorinated Paraffins in Recycled Plastics

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Solal GAUDIN; [2023]
    Keywords : Short chain Chlorinated Paraffins SCCP Medium chain Chlorinated Paraffins MCCP Long chain Chlorinated Paraffins LCCP Recycled plastics Qualitative analysis Bioaccumulation Long range transport Gas Chromatography – Mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : Described in many studies as dangerous for the environment and potentially carcinogenic for humans, Chlorinated Paraffins (CPs) are easily widespread due to their substantial production and use in different products. Previous studies reported the presence of CPs in different plastic polymers. READ MORE

  4. 3. Reuse and recycling of concrete : Economic barriers and possible opportunities for future profitability

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik
