  1. 31. Energy audit of a single-family house in a city in the middle of Sweden

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Daniela Valentina García Gimeno; [2023]
    Keywords : energy audit; building energy efficiency; building envelope; renewable sources; windows efficiency; insulation of houses in Sweden;

    Abstract : The world is currently submerged in two big problems: supply energy crisis and climate change. It is clear that society has to do its best to overcome these challenges, and one effective way to mitigate their effects is by conducting an energy audit, which helps to identify the weaknesses and strengths of the buildings, enabling improvements in their thermal efficiency.

  3. 32. Surface treatment methods for metal components trays and frames

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Josu Najera Bernabeu; Alaitz Egaña Azkargorta; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The proper selection of materials and surface treatment is critical in ensuring the strength, durability, and safety of metal structures in various environments. Therefore, this project is being developed in collaboration with Aurobay Company to explore and provide insights into the most suitable material and surface treatment method for a frame. READ MORE

  4. 33. Evaluation of Excess Heat Driven Carbon Capture Integrated at a Swedish Pulp Mill

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Frida Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : CCS; BECCS; pulp and paper industry; pulp mill; excess heat; MEA; HPC; AMP; DMSO; chemical engineering; environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As the atmospheric carbon dioxide keeps increasing, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is getting increased attention as a measure to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide. It is especially interesting in Sweden where the extensive paper and pulp industry constitutes point sources of biogenic carbon dioxide. READ MORE

  5. 34. Do OTC warming effects on ecosystem processes depend on moss species identity, precipitation, and moss removal?

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

    Author : Alexina Brännlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Experimental warming; Subarctic tundra mosses; Productivity; Ecosystem respiration; Decomposition;

    Abstract : Long-term warming experiments in arctic tundra have resulted in reduced moss cover and increased vascular plant cover. As mosses have a major impact on microclimatic conditions, changes in community composition can potentially alter direct and indirect drivers of productivity and decomposition, which are low in arctic ecosystems.

  6. 35. Capture those opinions! A synthesis analysis of the types of public attitudes measured in waste-to-energy and carbon capture and storage acceptance research

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Patricia Balla; [2023]
    Keywords : Acceptance; BECCS; CCS; carbon capture and storage; energy transition; public perception; WtE; waste-to-energy;

    Abstract : Waste-to-Energy incineration (WtE), coupled with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), especially Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), suggest a way to simultaneously retrieve energy from the otherwise disposed waste and reduce CO2 emissions. Independent of one another, WtE, CCS, and BECCS are implemented in a few regions of the world, but their joint diffusion is uncommon in comparison. READ MORE
