1. Hunting Hotspots - A framework to assess the effectiveness of using environmentally extended input-output models as a method to identify CO2-eq hotspots in the upstream supply chain of a company
University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUSAbstract : Industry’s indirect upstream greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contribute significantly to climate change. To identify and reduce them, some companies conduct a hotspot analysis using an environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) model (often utilizing EXIOBASE database). READ MORE

2. Closing the Plastic Tap — Global Plastic Waste and the Circular Economy. A Multi-Regional Hybrid Input-Output Analysis of Plastic Waste Footprints
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : Plastic pollution is a cross-national environmental and societal challenge that needs to be addressed from the point of view of global supply chains. The circular economy (CE) has emerged as an alternative paradigm to the traditional “take-make-waste” models of production and consumption to create a closed-loop system so that plastic is trapped in the economy and not in the environment.

3. Sustainable electricity transition? The direct and indirect environmental impacts along the global supply chain of renewable and non-renewable sources of electricity. A greenhouse gas and material footprint analysis of the European Union’s electricity consumption
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : This thesis studies the direct and indirect environmental impacts of the European Union’s final consumption of electricity between 1995 and 2019. Using Exiobase 3, an environmentally extended multiregional input-output database, the greenhouse gas and material footprints for an aggregated 23 environmental stressors have been derived, indicating that renewable sources of electricity on average have lower greenhouse gas and similar material intensities as non-renewable electricity sources.

4. Dematerialization: good, but not good enough
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : Global raw material extraction has accelerated since the 1950s, causing resource depletion, ecosystem degra- dation, pollution, and climate change. To reduce such impacts, the economic drivers of material use must be addressed. Although economic growth often drives material use to increase, this increase can be counter- acted by dematerialization. READ MORE

5. Global Virtual Water Trade, 1990-2015: Assessing Virtual Water Trade Patterns between High Income, Upper-Middle Income, Lower-Middle Income and Low Income Countries
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : Due to globalization, increasing amounts of water are traded across borders as virtual water embodied in traded products. The thesis traces global water trade patterns at different levels of income between 1990 and 2015 in order to test whether developed countries outsource their water-intensive production to less developed countries increasing global water use in the process.
