1. 21. Life cycle assessment on sodium-ion cells for energy storage systems : A cradle-to-gate study including 16 environmental perspectives, focusing on climate change impact

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

   Author : Rebecca Nibelius; [2023]
   Keywords : Sodium-ion batteries; Life cycle assessment; Cradle-to-gate; Natriumbatterier; Livscykelanalys; Vagga-till-port;

   Abstract : Because of the changing energy supply landscape, with the transition towards renewable energy, an emerging demand for energy storage systems (ESS) is expected in the near future. Battery energy storage is promising to contribute to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions, but face issues considering resource use (IEA, 2023; IRENA, 2022). READ MORE

3. 22. Prioritizing Efficiency : Evaluating the Impact of Energy-Saving Measures in Commercial Buildings

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

   Author : Matilda Hallin; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This study systematically categorizes energy efficiency measures in buildings and evaluates their effectiveness in terms of energy savings, CO2e emissions reduction, and cost-effectiveness. It also explores the potential correlations between measure effectiveness and various building characteristics. READ MORE

4. 23. A new approach to identify corner test cases for AD/ADAS functions in a Virtual Environment

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

   Author : Rasmita Samantaray; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The validation of Autonomous Drive (AD) software needs sufficient testing to ensure the safety of autonomous vehicles. Scenario-based testing in a virtual environment provides a platform to detect AD/ ADAS software bugs and fix them early in the software development life cycle. READ MORE

5. 24. Free cooling and PVT integration in a ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system

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

   Author : Christopher Pourier; [2023]
   Keywords : Ground-source heat pump; borehole; GSHP; photovoltaic thermal collector; PVT; free cooling; Ytjordvärmepump; borrhål; GSHP; solfångare; PVT; frikylning;

   Abstract : The performance of ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems can be negatively affected over time by soil temperature degradation of boreholes (BH) in heating dominated climates. Land area is scarce in the dense urban environments typical of multi-family houses (MFH) and can lead to accelerated degradation- in tight BH fields. READ MORE

6. 25. Risk Factors of Food Loss and Waste, and Life Cycle Assessment of waste management strategies in the Brazilian Leafy Vegetable Supply Chain

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

   Author : Nathalie Garavito; [2023]
   Keywords : Behavioural causes; carbon footprint; causal mapping; mitigation strategies; prevention; root-cause analysis; take-back agreements;

   Abstract : Food loss and waste (FLW) occurring early in the food supply chain (FSC) leads to increased resource wastage, including land, water, fertilisers, pesticides, fuel, packaging, energy, and labour. Targeting FLW prevention benefits various aspects such as food security, productivity, economic growth, climate change mitigation, resource conservation, and food waste management. READ MORE
