  1. 1. Forest growth under future climate change in the context of bioenergy – case studies of combined heat and power plants in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Chi Yuen Hui; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Climate Change; Ecosystem Modelling; LPJ-GUESS; BECCS; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The pressure to achieve net-zero emissions has pushed for new technologies including carbon capture and storage (CCS) based on the combustion of biomass (BECCS). While bioenergy is a relatively mature industry in Sweden, the addition of CCS may increase the demand for local biomass. READ MORE

  3. 2. Identifying effects of adrenaline and dopamine binding on the beta2-adrenergic receptor structure and function using machine learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Joar Gunnarsson; Leon Bergner; [2023]
    Keywords : beta2-adrenergic receptor; GPCR; adrenaline; dopamine; Machine learning; Molecular dynamics simulation;

    Abstract : The beta2-adrenergic receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor, involved in several physiological processes, which enables signaling through the cell membrane. To study the effect of dopamine and adrenaline binding on the receptor structure and function, we used machine learning methods applied to data from molecular dynamics simulations. READ MORE

Det här arbetet inkluderar biokol och svampodling, två branscher på framkant för att skapa mer cirkularitet, gynna matproduktionen och erbjuda alternativa näringskällor. READ MORE

  5. 4. Potential social impacts of a possible implementation of the Pulp & Fuel concept for producing biofuels at a pulp mill

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

    Author : Nora Efraimsson; Sofie Johnsson; [2022]
    Keywords : biofuels; process implementation; pulp fuel; Social Life Cycle Assessment; social impacts; sustainability; forest residues;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to create an understanding of what potential social impacts (both positive and negative) the concept of P&F will have and could have if an implementation of the process would be done. Interviews are mainly used for providing input to the method S-LCA (Social Life Cycle Assessment) and by that fulfil the purpose. READ MORE

  6. 5. Thermochemical energy utilization of biomass in Rwanda - a screening of potential feedstocks

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik
