    Abstract : There is an urgent need to mitigate carbon emissions to the atmosphere to reduce the negative effects of climate change. Countries have pledged national strategies to reach their climate change mitigation goals in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC). In the case of Colombia, the country envisions becoming carbon neutral by 2050. READ MORE

  2. 17. An analysis of Swedish corporate climate footprints – reaching a more consistent and scientific approach

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för miljövetenskap

    Author : Matilda Ågren-Hernvald; [2021]
    Keywords : Corporate emissions; comparability; Greenhouse Gas Protocol; Scope 3; avoided emissions; system boundaries; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : Corporate action has become increasingly prevalent in recent years in order to address the urgent issue of climate change. A wide range of concepts are today being used to describe company climate footprints, where one single concept can have varying definitions due to inconsistent approaches on what to include and not in the calculations.

  5. 20. CO2 capture in industry using chilled ammonia process

    University essay from KTH/Energiprocesser

    Author : Soumia Amara; [2021]
    Keywords : CO2 capture and storage; post combustion capture; chilled ammonia process; mono-ethanol amine; specific primary energy consumption; CO2- fångst och lagring; fångst efter förbränning; kyld ammoniakprocess; monoetanolamin; specifik primär energiförbrukning;

    Abstract : CO2 capture and storage (CCS) is estimated to reduce 14% of the global CO2 emissions in the 2 °C scenario presented by the International Energy Agency. Moreover, post combustion capture is identified as a potential method for CO2 capture from industry since it can be easily retrofitted without disturbing the core industrial process. READ MORE
