  1. 1. Viability, feasibility and Sustainability of emission reducing solutions for Nordic wood stoves: Testing and evaluation : Degree project for Master in mechanical engineering with focus on innovative and sustainable product development

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Casper Berg; [2022]
    Keywords : Catalytic Filters; Variable filter deployment; Wood stove Emissions; Eco Design 2022; Reduced Emissions; Katalytiska filter; Varierande filter; Utsläpp från vedkaminer; Eco Design 2022; Reducerade utsläpp;

    Abstract : As of 2022 the European Union introduced a new Eco Design legislation which states emission limits for stoves sold in the EU. There are already requirements on emissions, but as both legislation are to be harder and there is a higher interest in Eco friendly products, there is an interest to study different ways to reduce the emissions from wood stoves.

  3. 2. Will substituting fossil fuels with biofuels lead to a net reduction in CO2 emissions? : The case of district heating in Norrköping municipality

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Stina Ljungberg; [2018]
    Keywords : Forest residue; slash; bio-based economy; sustainable energy; Grot; biobaserad ekonomi; hållbar energi;

    Abstract : With global warming and the international, national and local goals of reducing greenhouse gas net emissions, the phasing out of fossil fuels are of great importance. One energy source resulting in nearly no net emissions are biofuels. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Miller Cycle on Single-Cylinder and Serial Configurations of a Heavy-Duty Engine

    University essay from KTH/Förbränningsmotorteknik

    Author : Varun Venkataraman; [2018]
    Keywords : Two-stage turbocharging; modelling and simulation; GT-Power; performance; Miller cycle; heavy-duty diesel engine; Tvåstegs turboladdning; modellering och simulering; GT-Power; prestanda; Miller-cykel; lastbils dieselmotor;

    Abstract : I jämförelse med sina föregångare, har moderna lastbilsmotorer genomgått en betydandeutveckling och har utvecklats till effektiva kraftmaskiner med låga utsläpp genom införandet avavancerade avgasbehandlingssystem. Trots att de framsteg som gjorts under utvecklingen av lastbilsmotorer har varit betydande, så framhäver de framtida förväntningarna vad gällerprestanda, bränsleförbrukning och emissioner behovet av snabba samt storskaliga förbättringar av dessa parametrar för att förbränningsmotorn ska fortsätta att vara konkurrenskraftig och hållbar.

  5. 4. Techno-Economic Assessment of Thermal Energy Storage integration into Low Temperature District Heating Networks

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Alberto Rossi Espagnet; [2016]
    Keywords : Thermal energy storage TES ; 4th Generation District Heating 4GDH ; low temperature district heating LTDH ; District heating DH ; Energy efficiency;

    Abstract : Thermal energy storage (TES) systems are technologies with the potential to enhance the efficiency and the flexibility of the coming 4th generation low temperature district heating (LTDH). Their integration would enable the creation of smarter, more efficient networks, benefiting both the utilities and the end consumers. READ MORE

  6. 5. Forestry and climate change mitigation : climate change mitigation potential for different rotation lengths in Norway spruce forests, Götaland, Sweden with a short and a long term perspective

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Gustaf Gustafsson; [2009]
    Keywords : rotation age; net emission CO2; carbon dioxide sink; time horizon; CO2FIX V 3.1; climate change; forest management; Kyoto protocol;

    Abstract : During the last year the awareness about the anthropogenic induced climate change due to increasing level of Green House Gases (GHGs), like for example carbon dioxide (CO2) has increased drastically. The atmospheric content of CO2 which is the GHG that the forest sector mainly can influence has increased from 280 ppm pre-industrial time (1750) to 379 ppm 2005. READ MORE
