  1. 1. Exploring Contextual Barriers to Implementing Mission-Oriented Innovation Towards Achieving Bioeconomic Shifts : A Case Study of Uppsala Region

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

    Author : Julian Strömqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Bioeconomy; Bioeconomic shifts; Mission-oriented innovation; Innovation policy; Grand challenges; explicit knowledge; tacit knowledge; codification;

    Abstract : Tackling grand challenges such as anthropogenic climate change, urgently requires an increase in bio-based resource utilization in regard to offsetting fossil dependencies within industrial sectors, also known as bioeconomic shifts. Bioeconomic shifts can be achieved by implementing Mission-oriented innovation (MOI), which concerns facilitating and directing resources towards achieving predetermined missions. READ MORE

  3. 2. Towards low carbon buildings: A case study in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Huynh Tuan Tran; Victor-Antoine Delorme; [2023]
    Keywords : Life cycle assessment; Environmental impact of building materials; Carbon neutrality; Biobased material; Biochar; Cross Laminated Timber; Biogenic carbon; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study comprehensively evaluated the global warming potential of an office building in a newly built Scandinavian neighbourhood seeking to reach sustainability. The primary objective of the research was to support the city authorities of Helsingborg by providing valuable insights into actual carbon emissions at the building level and proposing measures to minimize these emissions to achieve climate neutrality by 2030.

  4. 3. The potential for large-scale implementation of biochar in the agricultural sector : a quantitative study on plant growth in light soils and a qualitative study on the agricultural sector’s perception on biochar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Mathilda Håkansson; Louise Strömberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Transdisciplinary study; Agricultural science; Biochar; Plant growth; Soil properties; Biochar implementation; Perceptions on biochar;

    Abstract : Agricultural activities are collectively one of the largest contributors to accumulation of greenhouse gasses (GHG). At the same time, agriculture is at a risk to be affected extensively by climate change. Concurrently, in conventional agriculture GHG emissions have become inevitable to maintain efficiency.

    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

  6. 5. Introduktion av pyrolysanläggning i Eksjö fjärrvärmenät : en undersökning om pyrolysanläggningars förutsättningar och eventuella roll inom fjärrvärmeproduktion

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Karl Malmberg; [2021]
    Keywords : biokol; värmeproduktion; kolsänka; sågverk; biprodukter;

    Abstract : In order to fulfill the Swedish national goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2045, the implementation of negative emission technologies is regarded as a vital tool, since it can compensate for emissions deemed too hard to avoid. The widespread use of district heating systems, in combination with a relatively large forest industry in Sweden, provides a unique opportunity to implement combined biochar and energy production (BCE).
