1. 1. Increase of biogas production by incorporating residual streams from agriculture

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Stephanie Fjäll; [2022]
   Keywords : Anaerobic digestion; Agricultural residue; Lignocellulosic biomass; Mechanical pretreatment; Biogas production; Biorefinery; Chemical engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : To expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. READ MORE

3. 2. Fractionation of Wheat Bran for Utilisation in Biorefinery

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Gabriella Haag; [2021]
   Keywords : Wheat bran; biorefinery; chemical engineering; vetekli; bioraffinaderi; extraction; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Wheat bran is a by-product from the production of wheat flour. Nowadays wheat bran is mostly used as feed for animals, in the food and baking industry or it is simply burned in open air. READ MORE

4. 3. Indoor Air Pollution, Passive Ventilation Strategies and Thermal Comfort in Nepal

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Marianne Löwgren; [2019]
   Keywords : Energy poverty; Solid biomass fuels; Improved cooking stoves; Indoor air pollution; Carbon monoxide; Vernacular architecture; Passive ventilation; Air exchange rate; Indoor air quality; Thermal comfort; Operative temperature; Sustainable societal development; Social Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) resulting from indoor burning of solid biomass fuels in poorly ventilated kitchens is a severe health risk in parts of the world where energy poverty is prevalent. Passive ventilation, i.e. taking advantage of naturally induced airflow has been suggested as crucial in reducing IAP levels below safe limits. READ MORE

5. 4. 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

6. 5. Near-Infrared Spectral Measurements and Multivariate Analysis for Predicting Glass Contamination of Boiler Fuel

   University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

   Author : Olivia Winn; Kiran Thekkemadathil Sivaram; [2017]
   Keywords : NIRS; glass detection; food waste; biomass; PLS; SNV; Savitzky-Golay;

   Abstract : This degree project investigates how glass contamination in refuse-derived fuel for a fluidised bed boiler can be detected using near-infrared spectroscopy. It is motivated by the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuels with refuse-derived fuel. READ MORE
