1. 1. Sustainable Urban Energy Transition for the City of Bitola, North Macedonia : A City-Scale Urban Building Energy Model

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

   Author : Emilie Andersson; Hillevi Höijer; [2023]
   Keywords : Urban building energy model; UBEM; Urban energy simulation; Urban energy transition; City Energy Analyst; CEA; Bitola; North Macedonia; Byggnadsmodellering på stadsnivå; Stadsenergimodellering; Stadsenergiomställning; Urban Building Energy Model; City Energy Analyst; CEA; Energisystemmodell; Bitola; Nordmakedonien;

   Abstract : Cities play a crucial role in sustainable energy system transformation. Urban energy systems account for 75% of global primary energy use, and 70% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (IEA, 2021). READ MORE

3. 2. Life cycle analysis of retrofit solutions for brake emission

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

   Author : Panagiotis Kampouridis; [2023]
   Keywords : Non-exhaust emissions; Retrofit solutions; Brake emission; streamline LCA; Life cycle assessment; Brake system; Particulate emission; Particulate matter; PM; Laser cladded; Filtration; Statistical desirability function; Icke-avgasutsläpp; Eftermonteringslösningar; Bromsemission; LCA; Livscykelanalys; Bromssystem; Partikelemission; PM; Laserklädd; Filtrering; Statistisk önskvärdhetsfunktion;

   Abstract : This Master Thesis project is focused on Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of retrofit solutions for brake emission and the comparison of each solution. Background research was performed to check possible solutions to the Particulate Matter (PM) problem that non-exhaust emissions contribute to. READ MORE

4. 3. Putting a New Spin on Shipping

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : David Newman; [2020]
   Keywords : wind ship propulsion; Flettner rotor; human factors; technological innovation system; operational experience; Technology and Engineering; Social Sciences; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns Flettner rotors, a wind propulsion technology for commercial shipping which has recently gained momentum due to its ability to reduce fuel consumption, and consequently CO2 emissions, in a polluting sector of industry. Flettner rotors are able to reduce average fuel consumption by up to 20% and can be operated on a wide variety of ship types and sizes through both retrofit and installations on new builds.

5. 4. Investigation of carbon capture technologies for Sävenäs waste-to-energy plant

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Jasmine Andersson; [2020]
   Keywords : CCS; flue gas treatment; waste incineration; energy balance; emission abatement;

   Abstract : Carbon capture technologies have the potential to decarbonize the emissions to air from the heat and power sector and contribute to the necessary greenhouse gas emission mitigation in order to meet the Paris Agreement requirements. The energy requirement and ability to retrofit carbon capture units are crucial to convert existing power plants into more environmental benign processes to meet the Swedish national goal of greenhouse gas neutrality at 2045.

6. 5. Cost effective and environmental friendly energy renovation of commercial buildings from 1960s.

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

   Author : Magdalena Puchala; [2019]
   Keywords : Retrofit; Energy; Global Worming Potential; Life cycle assessment; Life cycle cost; passive cooling; Miljöbyggnad; Ventilation; Arts and Architecture;

   Abstract : This paper investigates different retrofit solutions simulated in a commercial building from the 1960s. All improvements were simulated in the IDA ICE software and the Global Warming Potential was calculated with the help of Eco Bat. During the investigation a cost-effective solution was indicated with the help of a life cycle cost calculation. READ MORE
