  1. 21. Power-to-X-to-Power in Combined Cycle Power Plants : A Techno-Economic Feasibility Study

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Linus Engstam; [2021]
    Keywords : Power­to­X­to­power; Hydrogen; Ammonia; Combined cycle gas turbines; PEM electrolyzer; Technoeconomic analysis; Power­to­X­to­power; Vätgas; Ammoniak; Gasturbiner; PEM elektrolysator; Teknoekonomisk analys;

    Abstract : To support the large­scale integration of renewables in electricity grids, power­to­X­to­power (P2X2P) systems have been proposed. These systems serve to increase the flexibility of thermal power plants while potentially providing both economic and environmental benefits by allowing power from the plant to be redirected into an electrolyzer and converted to a gaseous energy carrier.

  3. 22. Re-thinking green roof design : The prospect of a carbon sink structure investigated through a life cycle cost-benefit analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Aziliz Le Rouzo; [2020]
    Keywords : Carbon Footprint; Green Roof Design; Carbon Sink; Cost-Effectiveness; Life cycle Cost-Benefit Analysis; Green Roofs; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Green Roofs (GRs) have been used worldwide as a solution for greening cities, while providing useful services to society such as storm water management, improved air quality, energy savings, and increased biodiversity, to name a few. However, the environmental impact of their structure has been understudied, and more importantly, the carbon cost related to the use of materials that have a high carbon footprint has received little to no attention.

  4. 23. Quantification of a Swedish Digitalization Company´s GHG Emission : A Single Case Study

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Joakim Rydén; Fabian Sandegård; [2020]
    Keywords : Continuous GHG tracking; GHG Protocol; Digitalization; Avoided Emissions; Scope 3; Climate Controlling; GHG Accounting; Kontinuerlig GHG uppföljning; GHG Protocol; Digitalisering; Avoided Emissions; Scope 3; Climate Controlling; GHG Redovisning;

    Abstract : Research shows that the warming of the climate over the last century is extremely likely due to human activities. Furthermore, there is a need for an understanding how business activities counteract or contribute to climate change. In particular, the digitalization industry is often introduced as an important player in climate challenge. READ MORE

  5. 24. 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. 25. Household air pollution exposure in sub-Saharan Africa and assessment of disease burden attributable to risk factor

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Socialmedicin och global hälsa

    Author : Festina Balidemaj; [2020]
    Keywords : Air pollution; household air pollution; burden of disease; acute lower respiratory infection; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; ischemic heart disease; lung cancer; stroke; sub-Saharan Africa; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: One of the major environmental threats to human health is air pollution. It contributes to premature deaths of millions of people worldwide. Air quality issues are growing exponentially in developing countries (West et al. 2016). READ MORE
