  1. 6. SOIL GROSS NITROGEN MINERALISATION AND FOREST GROWTH IN FOUR HEMIBOREAL FOREST STANDS IN SOUTHWEST SWEDEN

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Linnéa Eriksson; [2023-04-20]
    Keywords : soil C:N; forest production; 15N isotope dilution; gross N mineralisation; ammonium; soil carbon; soil nitrogen; root exudates; stoichiometric decomposition; boreal forests; priming; microbial C limitation;

    Abstract : Boreal and temperate forests together make up the largest terrestrial net C sink in the world. They take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it in plant biomass and soil as they grow, making them crucial in mitigating global climate change. READ MORE

  3. 7. Thermal Conversion of Cellulose-Lignin Precursors into Carbon Fibres

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

    Author : Sofia Westberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon fiber; lignin; cellulose; continuous conversion;

    Abstract : Carbon fibres are used in many applications thanks to their exceptional tensile properties in relation to their relatively low weight. These thin strands of at least 90% carbon are mixed with a matrix such as epoxy to form composites used for cars, wind turbines, prosthetics, and many other things. READ MORE

  4. 8. Techno-economic analysis and simulation of low temperature district heating networks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Ilia Iarkov; [2023]
    Keywords : Low-temperature district heating; Modelica; BTES; LCA; LCC; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The continuous increase in global energy consumption has led to a greater focus on the energy required for heating buildings. This thesis presents a techno-economic model for analysing low-temperature district heating networks coupled with a geothermal heat source. READ MORE

  5. 9. Hydrogen Pipeline Infrastructure Design for Germany in 2045

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

    Abstract : Germany’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2045 underscores the need for climate action, with hydrogen’s multiple uses in industry, transport, and energy offering a viable solution. Efficient retrofitting of the extensive natural gas pipeline network can enable hydrogen to be transported from supply to demand centers. READ MORE

  6. 10. Exploring implications of the EU Taxonomy on funding and disclosure for Swedish SMEs

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Jessie Westerberg; Sofia Gren; [2023]
    Keywords : EU taxonomy; CSRD; GAR; BTAR; SMEs; Voluntary disclosure;

    Abstract : In 2019 the EU taxonomy was launched as a classification system that aims to provide a common language and framework for sustainable finance. The purpose is to guide investors and businesses to identify environmentally sustainable economic activities to support the transition towards a low-carbon, resource-efficient economy by 2050 within the EU.
