  1. 26. Governing the emerging sociotechnical imaginary of a climate-positive Sweden : an exploration of the political discussion on negative emissions technologies as a climate change solution

    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Author : Kirstine Lund Christiansen; [2020]
    Keywords : sustainability science; bioenergy with carbon capture and storage; climate governance; carbon dioxide removal; climate recovery; elite interviews; polluter pays principle; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : In recent years, negative emissions technologies (NETs) have gained attention as a strategy to tackle climate change. While the academic debate on NETs has been heated, international and national governance frameworks for regulating and incentivising the technologies largely remain unseen. READ MORE

  3. 27. Practical implementation of Bio-CCS in Uppsala : A techno-economic assessment

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Robert Djurberg; [2020]
    Keywords : BECCS; Bio-CCS; CCS; techno-economic assessment; BECCS; Bio-CCS; CCS; teknoekonomisk analys;

    Abstract : To decrease global warming, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (Bio-CCS) has been proposed as an effective and necessary tool. Combusting biomass and capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the same process results in net negative emissions, hence, reducing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. READ MORE

  4. 28. Climate Footprint on Transportation and Storage of Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Jennifer Erlandsson; Fredrik Tannoury; [2020]
    Keywords : BECCS; CCS; LCA; energy use; leakage; BECCS; CCS; LCA; energi användning; läckage;

    Abstract : In order to combat climate change there is a need to achieve negative emissions. Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a promising technology that offers the possibility to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the atmosphere. However, this also implies that the BECCS process needs to store more CO2 than it emits. READ MORE

  5. 29. The inclusion of Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in Integrated Assessment Models: Assessing legitimacy within published climate discourses

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Guy Finkill; [2019]
    Keywords : BECCS; Discourse; Governance; IAMs; Legitimacy; Sustainable Development.;

    Abstract : This thesis assesses the discourses identified in the literature that is critical to BECCS and its inclusion in IAMs used in the construction of RCP2.6 through a Foucauldian inspired discourse analysis. READ MORE

  6. 30. The role of bioenergy for achieving a fossil fuel free Stockholm by 2040

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

    Author : Linnea Dittrich; Sofia Lillieroth; [2019]
    Keywords : Bioenergy; Fossil-free Stockholm; Bioenergy carbon capture and storage BECCS ; Negative emissions; Biochar.;

    Abstract : Bioenergy is extracted from biomass. What counts as biomass is generally quite diverse, but broadly speaking, it is material that previously lived. Today, energy extracted from biofuels make up around 23% of Stockholm city's total energy consumption. Stockholm city has set a goal to be a fossil-free city by 2040, i. READ MORE
