  1. 21. Determination of a hydropower "go-to area" : Klarälven and Dalälven potential assessment and environmental regulation constraints

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Paula Aparicio Garcia; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydropower; REPowerEU; Go-to areas; GIS; MCDA; AHP; RED II; WFD; Nature 2000; Vattenkraft; REPowerEU-Planen; Go-to area; GIS; MCDA; AHP RED II; WFD; Nature 2000;

    Abstract : The current energy crisis with sky-rocketed prices has created the need for new sustainable solutions in the energy production sector. The REPowerEU Plan, presented by the European Commission, has taken up on this and has established measures to accelerate the introduction of new renewable energy capacity in Europe, such as the designation of “go-to areas” by Member States to shorten authorization permits in areas with high potential and low environmental impacts.

  4. 23. A Photogrammetric Workflow to Produce 3D-Models of Geological Samples

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Fanny Bjugger; [2023]
    Keywords : photogrammetry; S-f-M; digital 3D models; geoscience; rock samples; earth sciences;

    Abstract : Photogrammetry and Structure-from-Motion (S-f-M) is a low-cost method of producing digital 3D models of rock samples that can be used for many different research and educational purposes. A 3D model of a delicate rock sample would enable the preservation of the sample and reduce the need of physical manipulation. READ MORE

  5. 24. Explorative Scenarios for Future Lithium Supplies and Demand

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Aksel Rahman; [2023]
    Keywords : lithium mining; lithium future production; Gompertz models; Richards models; Logistic models;

    Abstract : Because of its specific qualities, lithium is a key element for making lithium-ion batteries, which is of great relevance since the battery sector is the fastest growing user of lithium to date and with the transition towards a fully electrified transportation sector due to the current climate agenda and an even bigger increase in demand for lithium is anticipated for the coming decades. The two main sources for lithium to date are mines and brines, with brine water composing around 87 % of the world’s lithium reserves in terms of contained lithium. READ MORE
