  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Modular Sound Absorbing Unit : A system solution for implementation of noise abatement appliance in indoor environments

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik och samhälle

    Author : William Odevik; Viktor Wästersved Nyberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Noise; Sound Absorber; Modular; Novel Materials; Buller; Ljudabsorbent; Modulär; Okonventionellt Material;

    Abstract : There is a rising concern about the effects of noise on human health. The noise from our technologies and comforts that evokes a negative physiological response as a response, effects like cardiovascular disease, cognitive and hearing impairments are all examples of critical health results stemming from prolonged noise exposure (WHO, 2004 & 2018).

  4. 3. Investigation of carbon capture technologies for Sävenäs waste-to-energy plant

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Jasmine Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : CCS; flue gas treatment; waste incineration; energy balance; emission abatement;

    Abstract : Carbon capture technologies have the potential to decarbonize the emissions to air from the heat and power sector and contribute to the necessary greenhouse gas emission mitigation in order to meet the Paris Agreement requirements. The energy requirement and ability to retrofit carbon capture units are crucial to convert existing power plants into more environmental benign processes to meet the Swedish national goal of greenhouse gas neutrality at 2045.

  5. 4. The cost of phasing out coal - Quantifying and comparing compensation costs of coal phase-out policies to governments

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Lola Nacke; [2020]
    Keywords : Political feasibility; decarbonization; distributional costs; coal phase-out; marginal abatement cost; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : To reach internationally agreed climate targets, it is especially important to phase out coal-powered electricity generation in favour of low-carbon technologies. Several governments have pledged to phase out coal power. However, coal phase-out is hindered by resistance of negatively affected workers, companies and regional governments. READ MORE

  6. 5. Achieving a decarbonised European steel industry in a circular economy

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Johannes Bedoire Fivel; [2019]
    Keywords : Circular economy; CO2 mitigation; Climate change; European steel industry; low CO2 steel;

    Abstract : As part of the European Union’s climate commitment including the adoption of the Paris agreement, the European commission has developed a long-term strategy with the goal to reach net zero CO2emissions in 2050. To achieve this, a transformation of the European industry is necessary, as it represents 30% of EU’s total emissions. READ MORE
