    Abstract : With the urgency of cutting down CO2 emissions to reach climate neutrality by 2050, decarbonization of the steel industry is on the European Commission's agenda. Steelmaking accounts for 10 % of anthropogenic CO2 emissions and it is one of the most challenging sectors to decarbonize. READ MORE

  3. 2. Second-hand furniture and climate impact : LCA modeling to explore potential emission savings of reused furniture

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Kolbrún Fríða Hrafnkelsdóttir; [2022]
    Keywords : Circularity and decarbonization; Climate impact of furniture; Reused furniture; Furniture environmental impacts; Climate impact of second-hand; Second-hand products; GHG emissions of second-hand; Cirkularitet och avkolning; Klimatpåverkan från möbler; Återanvända möbler; Möblers miljöpåverkan; Klimatpåverkan av begagnade produkter; Begagnade produkter; växthusgasutsläpp från begagnade produkter;

    Abstract : A circular economy has been suggested to be able to respond to environmental challenges caused by over-production and consumption of products. Reuse is a circularity measure ranked high in the waste management hierarchy and is especially relevant for passive durable products such as furniture. READ MORE

  4. 3. Strategic targets and KPIs for improved value chain circularity and sustainability performance : A case study of a large manufacturing enterprise within the energy sector

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

    Author : Jonas Jansson; Herman Holmberg; [2022]

    Abstract : Global consumption levels currently extend far beyond what planet Earth in terms of natural resources can regenerate in a sustainable manor and will by 2050 reach levels corresponding to what it would require three Earths to sustain. This overexploitation and unsustainable management of the Earth’s resources in combination with the necessity of mitigating climate change and reaching net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 require action across all sectors, not least the manufacturing industry.

  5. 4. Enabling a Viable Circular Ecosystem for Electric Vehicle Batteries : The Case of Heavy-Duty Commercial Electric Vehicles

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

    Author : Johan Welltén; [2022]
    Keywords : Business Ecosystems; Blockchain; Circular Economy; Digital Technologies; Heavyduty commercial electric vehicles; Sustainability; Supply Chain Management; Affärsekosystem; Blockkedjeteknik; Cirkulär Ekonomi; Digital Teknik; Tunga och kommersiella elektriska fordon; Hållbarhet; Supply Chain Management.;

    Abstract : Electrification of the automotive sector is emerging, due to the decarbonization of the transport sector, where the lithium-ion battery production is estimated to raise from 70 GWh in 2017 to above 3,600 GWh in 2030 due to the transition to Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV). Challenges arise for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) of BEVs, with a need for circularity to extend the life of batteries, upcoming EU battery regulation, digitalization, and uncertainties in value chains due to current external situations, scarcity of material, and supply chain disruptions.
