11. Come Fly with Me (Sustainably) : Pathways to Sustainable General Aviation and Private Pilot Training
University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/MiljövetenskapAbstract : Whereas commercial aviation is attempting to achieve the reduction of its substantial carbon footprint, general aviation’s (GA) climate change contribution is negligibly small, which is why the sector is facing other sustainability challenges mainly entailing the operation of dated technology and aircraft, increasing regulatory constraints, rising costs, noise emissions, and popular discontent, as well as remaining the last mobility sector in the world to still use leaded fuels. Throughout recent years, there have been remarkable sustainability trends in GA as well as heightened efforts to improve its emissions profile (noise, pollutants, CO2) and environmental reputation, for instance by the increased use of electric aircraft, especially for private pilot training.

12. Converting an Automobile Engine to an Aircraft Engine
University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanikAbstract : This project evaluates the opportunity to convert a three-cylinder automobile piston engine (the Tiny Friendly Giant) to an aircraft engine from an environmental and practical point of view. The problem of increased emissions from aviation calls for technical and socioeconomic solutions, which is the reason why this report is written. READ MORE

13. Business Case, Design and Simulation of Solar Powered Hydrogen Refuelling Stations
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaperAbstract : Abstract The thesis investigates some possible pathways for how solar powered Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (Solar-HRS) can be implemented in a economically viable way. This is done by the use of a custom simulation model in MATLAB/Simulunk to simulate and evaluate the inner workings of the Solar-HRS. READ MORE

14. Unlocking Fossil Fuel Dependency in the European Union: Studying the Failures of Removing Fossil Fuel Subsidies in the European Union and Possible Pathways Forward.
University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionenAbstract : Despite the well-known threat that the use of fossil fuels poses to the climate many countries continue to provide large subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. The EU has declared that its member states should phase-out fossil fuel subsidies, but progress has been lacking and subsidies for fossil fuels in the EU remain large. READ MORE

15. Techno-economic Optimization for Large-Scale Power-to-methane Systems : Techno-economic modeling, design and optimization of a large scale 2.0 TWh/y solar-to-methane plant concept in Australia
University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologiAbstract : Industrialized societies are built on the limited, extraordinary dense form of energy that are the fossil fuels: coal, oil, and gas, that became the core driver of the economic growth since the industrial revolution. While most emission pathways highlight the necessity to reach net zero emissions before 2050, there are numerous challenges to the displacement of fossil fuels by renewable energy systems (local conditions, intermittency, raw materials) and applications to the most polluting sectors such as transportation remain a major challenge.
