  1. 1. A stakeholder-based analysis of potential photovoltaic systems’ contributions within the German government’s capacity addition plans to 2030

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Felix Rüsseler; [2023]
    Keywords : German Energy Transition; Photovoltaics; Photovoltaics System Types; Renewable Energy Policies; Stakeholder Interviews; Sustainable Development;

    Abstract : The ongoing energy transition in Germany foresees significant increases in the share of renewable energies in the country’s electricity mix until 2030. A share of 80% is targeted and photovoltaics should have a major contribution with a total capacity of 215 Gigawatts aimed to be installed. READ MORE

  3. 2. Risk Factors of Food Loss and Waste, and Life Cycle Assessment of waste management strategies in the Brazilian Leafy Vegetable Supply Chain

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

    Author : Nathalie Garavito; [2023]
    Keywords : Behavioural causes; carbon footprint; causal mapping; mitigation strategies; prevention; root-cause analysis; take-back agreements;

    Abstract : Food loss and waste (FLW) occurring early in the food supply chain (FSC) leads to increased resource wastage, including land, water, fertilisers, pesticides, fuel, packaging, energy, and labour. Targeting FLW prevention benefits various aspects such as food security, productivity, economic growth, climate change mitigation, resource conservation, and food waste management. READ MORE

  4. 3. Energy savings potential of building envelope refurbishment in Swedish single-family houses

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Rami Kousah; [2023]
    Keywords : Energy savings; energy efficiency; cost efficiency; LCC; refurbishment; energy efficient measures; climate zones; Sweden; single-family house;

    Abstract : Sweden has ca. 2 million single family houses (SFH) housing 52% of the population and representing 44.6% of the overall heated floor area. SFHs account for 39. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modelling the full-scale N2O emissions from wastewater treatment plants for identifying mitigation strategies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Naga Deepika Peddamudium; [2023]
    Keywords : Modelling; simulation; ASM2dISS; N2O production pathways; N2O emission factor; mitigation strategies; water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, which primarily originate from the biological nitrogen removal process, dominate the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). N2O production occurs through dynamic microbial pathways that have a significant impact on the environment compared with other GHG emissions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Climate change mitigation from biochar production at farm level : A time dynamic LCA study of wheat

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Louise Jungefeldt; [2022]
    Keywords : Pyrolysis; agricultural by-products; life cycle assessment; waste valorization; carbon sequestration;

    Abstract : Agricultural production in Sweden account for a large contribution of the territorial GHG emissions. System optimization, fossil fuel removal and increased circularity is therefore of great importance in order to reach the national net zero emission target by 2045. READ MORE
