    Keywords : High-­Resolution Mapping; Carbon-­Free Heat Sources; 4th Generation District Heating; GIS; Hög­upplöst kartläggning; Koldoixidfria värmekällor; 4e generationen Fjärrvärme; GIS;

    Abstract : Heat production together with electricity production stands for 31% of the global CO2 emissions. The production is as of today still highly dependent on fossil fuels, with a global district energy mix share of fossil fuels of 90%. READ MORE

  3. 7. Carbon dioxide dynamics in agricultural streams : Investigation of two streams draining catchments dominated by agricultural land

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Albin Bostner; [2020]
    Keywords : Carbon dioxide; dynamics; streams; agriculture; oversaturation; metabolic control; hyrdological control; Koldioxid; koldynamik; bäckar; jordbruk; övermättat; metabolisk kontroll; hydrologisk kontroll;

    Abstract : In recent years, streams draining agricultural land has been suggested to exhibit high carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations when compared to streams draining other land-types. The transport of carbon from land to ocean is mainly occurring through the chain of inland waters, and with agricultural land today representing 40% of all continental area many of these inland waters are influenced by agricultural land.
