  1. 1. Analysis of Microgrid Electrification on Phaluai Island : A Minor Field Study in Thailand

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

    Author : Leontina Walldén; Caroline Wahlberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Microgrid; Rural electrification; Rural islands; Thailand; Renewable energy; Microgrid; Elektrifiering av landsbygd; Isolerade öar; Thailand; Förnybar energi;

    Abstract : Similar to numerous other nations, Thailand aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and increasing the amount of renewable energy sources in electricity generation. The objective of the Thai Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) is to ensure electricity access for all Thai households and villages. READ MORE

  3. 2. Numerical Design of an Extremely High Temperature Thermochemical Reactor for Converting Biochar to Hard Carbon

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Jinghe Zhang; [2022]
    Keywords : CFD; Hard carbon; Biochar; Induction heating; Energy efficiency; CFD; Hårt kol; Biokol; Induktionsuppvärmning; Energieffektivitet;

    Abstract : Hard carbon is now a popular choice for the anode material in sodium-ion batteries. Converting biochar to produce hard carbon is considered carbon neutral and of great interest since it reduces the environmental impacts of biomass waste. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modeling self-heating and dry matter loss in large-scale biomass storage

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Johan Qviström; [2022]
    Keywords : Modell; biomass; storage; self-heating; dry matter loss; Modell; biomassa; förvaring; uppvärmning; torrsubstansförlust;

    Abstract : Materialförluster och självuppvärmning är ett vanligt problem vid lagring av biomassa i stor skala. Biomassan som lagras bryts med tiden ned av mikroorganismer och kemiska processer vilket resulterar i en förlust av torrsubstans, ofta kring 1-4% per månad. READ MORE

  5. 4. Reindeer decrease soil carbon stocks and deplete labile soil carbon

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Josua Seitz; [2022]
    Keywords : Reindeer; SOC; soils; Finnland; 13C NMR;

    Abstract : Reindeer have been shown to alter boreal ecosystems by changing the vegetation cover and influencing belowground processes. By providing nutrients for plants and by exerting trampling stress on the field layer vegetation, reindeer induce shifts in the vegetation where ground-lichen are being replaced by evergreen shrubs.

  6. 5. Microbial Carbonisation and its potential for on-farm composting : exploring reductive composting as an approach for regenerative agriculture

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

    Author : Ludwig Peter Stephan; [2022]
    Keywords : on-farm composting; reductive composting; regenerative agriculture; microbial carbonisation; mikrobielle carbonisierung; greenhouse gas emissions;

    Abstract : The search for agronomic solutions to the decline of soil health, open-ended nutrient cycles and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture, against the background of impending climate change, were motivations for this thesis. A composting trial on a Swedish farm was designed to find answers to the overarching research question of how feasible and climate-friendly on-farm composting using Microbial Carbonisation (MC) is, compared to conventional windrow composting (CC).
