  1. 36. Pyrolytic biochar stability assessed by chemical accelerating aging method

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Binbin Chen; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Now that the EU and Sweden have adopted a new climate policy framework to regulate net carbon emission. A new concept, negative CO2 emission, has been considered to neutralize the CO2 generated from necessary consumption of fossil fuel. Biochar, as a pyrolytic product from biomass, can store carbon in a relatively stable way. READ MORE

  3. 37. Opportunities and Barriers of Carbon Farming from a Sustainable Livelihoods Perspective - A Case Study from Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jinsong Yang; [2020]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; Carbon Farming; Sustainable Livelihoods; Soil Carbon; Agriculture in Sweden; Climate Mitigation;

    Abstract : With changes in climate and increasing resource scarcity in the future, transition towards a more sustainable and resilient agriculture system that promotes maintenance of a range of ecosystem services is important. Meanwhile, significant global greenhouse gas reduction targets require all sectors including agriculture to take radical actions immediately. READ MORE

  4. 38. Effects of 100 years of drainage on peat properties in a drained peatland forests in northern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Mikaela Casselgård; [2020]
    Keywords : ash content; biodiversity; bulk density; carbon; climate; compaction; ditch; drainage; greenhouse gas emissions; groundwater level; isotopes; nitrogen; peatland; restoration;

    Abstract : Natural peatlands provide a small but persistent long-term carbon (C) sink. However, within the last century their extent in Sweden has declined by about 1.5-2.0 million hectares due to drainage activities. READ MORE

  5. 39. Development of biochar in Sweden : A study on the agricultural effects of biocharthrough an international comparison

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Ili Atalla; Gabriel Kurt; [2020]
    Keywords : Pyrolysis; Biochar; Carbon sink; Agricultural effects; Pyrolys; Biokol; Kolsänka; Jordbrukspåverkan;

    Abstract : Biochar represents a new approach to fight global warming through its ability to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by carbon fixation. It has been proven to be efficient in increasing harvest through the effects of increasing WHC, pH level and the uptake of nutrients. READ MORE

  6. 40. Total Organic Carbon Reduction of Sorting by-Product Fractions

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Ahmad Abdul Rahman Al Saheb; [2020]
    Keywords : Total organic carbon; Loss on ignition; construction and demolition waste; TOC reduction; recycling; sequential separation treatment; converting waste to product;

    Abstract : The drive of the EU countries and most of the world towards a circular economy and togenerate zero waste raised a need to study more efficient and less costly treatment processes. The treatment of secondary and by-product fractions to convert them from what is considered waste to a resource will contribute to the movement towards zero waste and circular economy. READ MORE
