11. Salvaging Death Worlds : Drivers and Barriers to the Adoption of Biogas and Biofertilizer Production Systems on Gotland
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknikAbstract : Utilizing an interdisciplinary, multi-level perspective analysis this thesis reviews niche- regime-landscape interactions (analogous to the clusters of actors working at the local level of Gotland representing niche; the regime being national governance goals; and the landscape incorporating global level affairs and institutions such as the European Union (EU)) and their (mis)alignments within the biogas/biofertilizer production system of Gotland, Sweden, a small-island case study for energy-food-transportation transition and sustainable destination development. The study analyzes the heterarchical and polycentric development of biogas on Gotland—a socio-technical niche, nested within a larger energy regime and global landscape for transition—developing an understanding of (mis)alignments of pressures interacting on, at, and between the niche-regime- landscape as they combine with the peculiar competencies, as Loorbach describes, “creative minds, strategists, and visionaries” of a cluster of actors working in the food- energy-transport nexus on the island (2010, p.

12. SAVINGS OF MATERIAL RESOURCES AND CARBON EMISSIONS WHEN CONVERTING FOSSIL FUEL CAR TO ELECTRIC : A CASE STUDY FOR SWEDEN
University essay from KTH/Integrated Transport Research Lab, ITRL; KTH/ElkraftteknikAbstract : Transportation in Sweden currently accounts for one-third of domestic GHG emissions. Thereof more than 90 % are allocated to road traffic with passenger cars being the largest contributor. Hence, the Swedish government adopted stringent climate policies to cut transport emissionsby 70 % (compared to 2010) latest until 2030. READ MORE

14. Generating Product-Service Design Improvements from a Climate Impact and Energy Use Perspective Using Life Cycle Assessment : The Case of Vertical Access Equipment
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknikAbstract : Climate change is connected to several negative effects on local environments around the globe such as, longer, and more intense droughts, less freshwater supplies, ocean warming, sea level rise, polar ice melting, more intense storms, and rainfall (NASA, 2021). These problems are mainly due to the increasing amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as well as other greenhouse gases (GHG) which cause a similar or stronger climate change effect (WWF, 2021).

15. Policy Tools for the Decarbonisation of Urban Freight Transport in Brazil
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : There has been an increase in the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the last 3 decades. A large share of these emissions is produced by the transport sector. In 2010 alone, global transport accounted for 7 GtCO2 eq and approximately 23% of total energy-related CO2 emissions. READ MORE
