1. 21. Comparative techno-economic analysis of BECCS and biochar in Sweden

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

   Author : Simon Martelius; [2022]
   Keywords : NETs; feasibility; cost-effectiveness; climate change-mitigation; CHP; carbon neutrality; bioenergy;

   Abstract : Greenhouse gas emissions from human activity need to decrease for the Paris agreement goal of 1.5° C of global warming to be reached, and while emission reduction efforts remain the most important tool for combating climate change, it is increasingly evident that negative emission technologies (NETs) will play a key role reaching the climate targets of the Paris agreement.

3. 22. Life Cycle Assessment of Electric Road Systems - Climate impact in comparison with battery electric vehicles, biogas vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

   Author : Ebba Söderström; Emanuel Bengtsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Electric road systems; Elonroad; life cycle assessment; rail; feed-in station; pick-up; on-board charger; climate impact; global warming potential; articulated lorry; lower medium car; bus; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : One third of Sweden's total annual greenhouse gas emissions originate from the transport sector today and great changes are thus needed in order to reach the net zero emission target by 2045. One of the most important measures discussed is an increased electrification of the transport sector and a solution with potential to contribute to this transition is electric road systems (ERS), where vehicles are charged dynamically.

4. 23. Reducing Carbon Emissions by Phasing Out Fossil Fuel Subsidies - Empirical Evidence from the Philippines

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

   Author : David Huber; [2022]
   Keywords : Fossil Fuel Subsidies; Emissions; Synthetic Control; Carbon Pricing; Philippines;

   Abstract : Eliminating subsidies on fossil fuels is widely recognized as one of the most important steps in the fight against climate change. While fossil fuel subsidies have received increasing attention in research, there is little to no empirical evidence confirming the theoretical emission reduction potential of phasing out such subsidies.

5. 24. Reducing the beef with beef. How a food retailer could reduce their environmental impact by changing what and how they sell

   University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

   Author : Ross McDonald; [2022]
   Keywords : food retailers; interventions; sustainable consumption; meat reduction; behaviour change; sustainability science; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Current food consumption habits in wealthy countries continue to drive biodiversity loss and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Food retailers play a key but currently understudied and underleveraged role in shifting consumer habits away from foods with high climate and biodiversity impacts (e.g. beef, lamb, milk) towards lower-impact alternatives.

6. 25. Life Cycle Assessment of typical projects of the distribution power network : Assessment, Improvement & Recommendations

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Hugo Serres; [2022]
   Keywords : Life cycle assessment; GHG emissions; power infrastructures; Livscykelanalys; växthusgasutsläpp; energiinfrastrukturer;

   Abstract : The carbon footprint of the power generation is studied for more than 30 years now. In order to curb GHG emissions, politics, industrials and consumers tend to take action to reduce the carbon intensity of the electricity mix, spread electrification and enhance usage efficiency.
