   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Seyed Shahabaldin Seyed Salehi; [2020]
   Keywords : LCA; EN 15804; PEF; Circular Footprint Formula; Recyclability Assessment; Circular Economy; End of life; recycling rate; construction; building; Energy margin; LCA; EN 15804; PEF; Formulär för cirkulär fotavtryck; bedömning av återvinningsbarhet; cirkulär ekonomi; livslängd; återvinningsgrad; konstruktion; byggnad; Bygg; LCA;

   Abstract : One of the main polluting industries in the world with high environmental impact is the construction industry which also generates a huge amount of waste. To overcome the seburdens, we need to reduce the impacts through new solutions, technologies and by injecting circular economy concept into the industry. READ MORE

3. 12. Biochar as a carbon dioxide removal solution : An assessment of carbon stability and carbon dioxide removal potential in Sweden

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Alessandro Corbo; [2020]
   Keywords : Climate change mitigation; biomass; pyrolysis; soil;

   Abstract : Biochar is increasingly gaining momentum in the context of climate change mitigation and its production in Sweden could potentially become a large-scale system. Carbon stability in biochar is a crucial factor to assess its the carbon sequestration potential. READ MORE

4. 13. A carbon budget for Rostock: Suggestions for a fair local contribution to the Paris Agreement in view of current climate targets

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Luise Lukow; [2020]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; Carbon budgets; Local carbon budget; Climate targets; Paris Agreement; Emission inventory;

   Abstract : The increase of global average temperature depends linearly on the amount of carbon dioxide that is accumulating in the atmosphere. Consequently, the determination of a temperature target that should not be exceeded, corresponds to an amount of carbon dioxide that can still be emitted. This is referred to as a carbon budget.

5. 14. Dynamic Technology-Adjusted Consumption-Based Accounting: National emission responsibilities based on current consumption patterns and production technologies

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Author : Linnéa Kjellberg; [2019]
   Keywords : Emission Responsibilities; Consumption-Based Accounting; Technology-Adjusted Emissions; Intertemporal Capital Dynamics; Input-Output Analysis; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Effective global emission mitigation policies require accurate guidance in terms of a fair and comparable emission accounting framework. This thesis presents an indicator that acknowledges countries’ technological differences as well as intertemporal capital dynamics. READ MORE

6. 15. Determining the primary energy demand and greenhouse gas emission of carrots : Comparing organic and conventional small scale carrot production and supply in Sweden

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

   Author : Isac Jazin Jareborg; [2019]
   Keywords : LCA; GWP; CED; value chain; agriculture;

   Abstract : This study assessed the environmental performance of organic and conventional carrots produced and supplied in Sweden, as well as mapping out and describing the local carrot production and supply in Sweden to lay the roundwork for a decision support, primarily aimed at Swedish farmers and consumers. A life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology with the system boundary from carrot cultivation to consumer gate and a functional unit (FU) of 1 kg of carrots at the farm was applied, using the LCA software SimaPro 8.
