  1. 6. The threat of embodied carbon in the building sector. What is guiding the solution?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Author : Andrea Stevens; [2023]
    Keywords : Embodied Carbon; Building Sector; Ecomodernism; Decarbonisation; Climate Change; Building Materials; Sustainability Science; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Embodied carbon in the building sector is an emerging area for decarbonisation efforts due to its large contribution to carbon emissions and ability to support carbon neutrality targets. This thesis aims to understand the roots of current embodied decarbonisation strategy recommendations, by exploring how embodied carbon reduction strategies are in line with the philosophy of ecomodernism.

    Abstract : The battery energy storage system (BESS) is crucial for the energy transition and decarbonisation of the energy sector. However, reliability assessment and capital cost challenges can hinder their widespread deployment. READ MORE

  4. 8. A process to assess fossil-free transport transition pathways and develop a sustainability roadmap for transport purchasers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Lauren Brach; [2023]
    Keywords : Roadmap; corporate carbon strategy; decarbonisation; transportation; fossil-free; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Most (93%) of the greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector come from road traffic in Sweden which includes passenger and freight transport activity (Trafikverket, 2022). The aim of this thesis was to understand pathways that transport purchasers can pursue to reach the fossil-free transportation goals from manufacturing plant to customer and to develop a process for assessing a market and developing a roadmap for achieving fossil-free transportation.
