  1. 1. IMPLICATION FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF GOTHENBURG TO ALIGN WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S TARGET REGARDING CLIMATE NEUTRALITY BY 2045 - Scenarios and Consequences

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Nafiseh Kazemi Ashtiani; [2023-06-21]
    Keywords : Climate Neutrality; GHG emissions; higher education institutions HEIs ; Net Zero emission; carbon footprint; carbon capture and storage CCS ;

    Abstract : It is widely acknowledged that one of the most significant global challenges of the 21 st century is climate change. In its Fifth Assessment Report (2014), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) described the present extent of the problem and the hazards involved, citing greenhouse gas emissions from human activities as the primary contributor to global warming since the mid-20th century.

  3. 2. Utilization of Biomethane in Decarbonising India´s Energy Mix

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Niraj Ravindra Kunkulol; [2023]
    Keywords : Anaerobic digestion; biogas; biomethane; membrane filtration; pressure swing adsorption; Anaerob rötning; biogas; biometan; membranfiltrering; trycksvängadsorption;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the potential of biomethane production in India, the impact of its integration into the energy mix, and the corresponding Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emission and potential reduction. India, with its huge population and being an agriculturally rich country, produces gigantic amounts of biodegradable waste from various sources such as Municipal Solid Waste (MSW),agricultural waste, animal husbandry, sugar industry, etc. READ MORE

  4. 3. Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Transport Infrastructure Construction : Reaching the Swedish Transport Administration's climate reduction targets with greenhouse gas reduction measures in the production phase of the most recurring materials

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

    Author : Pontus Sallerström; Sam Falakeh; [2023]
    Keywords : Transport infrastructure; Swedish Transport Administration; Greenhouse gas; Transport construction sector; LCA; Industrial Ecology; Transportinfrastruktur; Trafikverket; Växthusgas; Transportbyggnadssektorn; LCA; Industriell ekologi; Klimatkalkyl;

    Abstract : I Sverige står byggsektorn för 25% av landets totala utsläpp av växthusgaser, där material står för mer än hälften av dessa utsläpp [1][2][3]. De största bidragsgivarna är stål och betong, men även material som aluminium och asfalt har en betydande miljöpåverkan. READ MORE

  5. 4. Net-zero transition for companies– hindering and supporting factors : The influence of SBTi, sustainability reporting, and ratings

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för kultur och samhälle

    Author : Johanna Flood; [2023]
    Keywords : Net-zero; transition; SBTi; sustainability reporting; sustainability ratings; CDP;

    Abstract : The emissions of greenhouse gases need to be cut by 45% between 2010 and 2030 and reach net-zero by around 2050 (IPCC, 2018) to limit global temperature-rise to 1,5 degrees C. More companies are committing to net-zero emissions, but the overall emissions of greenhouse gases in the world are still going up, and previous research shows that there is an implementation gap and lack of plans in companies.
