1. 1. Integrating Waste Heat from Hydrogen Production Into District Heating

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Fawzi Kayali; [2023]
   Keywords : Hydrogen; Electrolysis; Waste Heat Recovery; Combined Heat and Power Plant; District Heating; Simulation; Sustainable Heating Systems; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The aim of this research is to explore the feasibility of the integration of waste heat from electrolyzers within a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant and district heating (DH) network and suggest a practical setup for integration. With the escalating emphasis on the development of green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by renewable energy, a substantial amount of waste heat is generated, typically left unused. READ MORE

3. 2. A European Material Kuznets Curve

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Pyry Järvinen; Emil Fernström; [2023]
   Keywords : Material Kuznets Curve; Environmental Kuznets Curve; Economic Growth; Economics Development; Material Footprint; Emissions; Sustainable Growth; Decoupling; Europe;

   Abstract : This bachelor thesis investigates the correlation between 28 European countries’material footprints (MF), as proxied by their Raw Material Consumption (RMC)per capita, and the environmental impact indicated by their carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions per capita, respectively, with their economic development, measured bytheir purchase power parity adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) per capita,during the period of 2008 to 2019. Specifically, through the theoretical frameworkof the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and by utilizing Fixed EffectsOrdinary Least Squares regression models as well as Pooled Mean Groupestimation, the thesis asks whether or not evidence can be found for the possibleexistence of an EKC, an inverted-U shaped relationship between environmentaldegradation and economic development, within this European context.

4. 3. Sustainability demands on internal and external providers of IT

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

   Author : Emma Lenman; Ida Appelgren; [2023]
   Keywords : sustainable IT; sustainability; IT; green IT; data governance; energy efficient; greenhouse gas emissions;

   Abstract : The use of IT in companies is constantly expanding, and therefore, so is the energy consumption and carbon footprint from IT. If companies do not take steps towards more sustainable IT usage, the footprint will continue to expand, toxic metals will be used in hardware and the usage of world resources will not become more circular.
