  1. 1. Life Cycle Assessment : a comparison of fossil energy use and climate impact on small scale manufacturing and large scale conventional manufacturing of textile toys

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Malin Henriksen; [2024]
    Keywords : textile toy; LCA; energy use; sustainable production; China; Sri Lanka; cotton production; fossil fuel use; GWP100;

    Abstract : This study conducts a Life Cycle Assessment to compare the environmental impacts, specifically climate impact and fossil fuel use, of textile toys produced in China and Sri Lanka. Through evaluating large-scale industrial production in China against small-scale, handcrafted production in Sri Lanka, it identifies the considerable environmental footprint of cotton production in both scenarios.

  3. 2. Assessing the economic and environmental impacts of leasing batteries for electric vehicle fleets

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för industriell ekonomi

    Author : Miguel Angel Gonzalez Salazar; Georgios Kormazos; [2023]
    Keywords : circularity; LCA; NPV; leasing; batteries; electric vehicles;

    Abstract : Battery electric vehicles (BEV) powered by renewable energy are expected to enable a largedecarbonization of the land-based transport. Recent estimations of the International EnergyAgency suggest that BEVs could grow 20-fold by 2030, reaching 200 to 350 million unitsglobally. READ MORE

  4. 3. Life cycle assessment of a camera system : A case study at Veoneer

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

    Author : Ahamed Wazeem; Dharshan Siddarth Mohan; [2023]
    Keywords : life cycle assessment LCA ; FLC2; mono camera system; environmental impact; impact categories.; livscyeklanalys LCA ; FLC2; monokamerasystem; miljöpåverkan; effektkategorier.;

    Abstract : With the growing number of cameras installed in automobiles for a safe driving experience, their environmental impact is relatively unknown and inevitably, the need to calculate its life cycle impact arises. Therefore, this study aims to conduct an attributional life cycle assessment (LCA) to determine the environmental impact of a mono camera system namely the Forward-Looking Camera -2 (FLC2) used in automobiles.

  6. 5. Life Cycle Assessment of a small scale, solar driven HVR water purification system

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

    Author : Sharang Kolathur; [2022]
    Keywords : life cycle assessment; air gap membrane distillation; solar energy; levelized cost; grid operated system; livscykelanalys; luftgapmembrandestillation; solenergi; utjämnade kostnader; nätdrivet system;

    Abstract : Water purification systems have made access to drinking water easier by treating water sources which previously could not be used for drinking. Such systems however require energy and materials to build and operate which means they have environmental impacts. READ MORE
