  1. 1. Integrating Waste Heat from Hydrogen Production Into District Heating

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Fawzi Kayali; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydrogen; Electrolysis; Waste Heat Recovery; Combined Heat and Power Plant; District Heating; Simulation; Sustainable Heating Systems; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The aim of this research is to explore the feasibility of the integration of waste heat from electrolyzers within a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant and district heating (DH) network and suggest a practical setup for integration. With the escalating emphasis on the development of green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by renewable energy, a substantial amount of waste heat is generated, typically left unused. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Non-Destructive Biomass and Relative Growth Rate Estimation in Aeroponic Agriculture using Machine Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Oskar Åström; [2022]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Image Analysis; Aeroponics; Hydroculture; Relative Growth Rate; Multi-variate Regression; Neural Network; ResNet; Plant Growth; Plant Physiology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Optimising plant growth in a controlled climate requires good measurements of both biomass (measured in grams) and relative growth rate (measured in grams of growth per day and gram of plant). In order to do this efficiently and continuously on an individual level during plant development, this has to be done non-destructively and without frequent and labor intensive weighing of plant biomass.

  5. 4. Contributing to carbon neutrality within water distribution services

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Nassim Dagher; [2021]
    Keywords : water distribution service; carbon footprint; GHG emissions; action plan; framework;

    Abstract : Water production and distribution services, just like all human activity, have an impact on the environment. One indicator of that impact is its carbon footprint, which corresponds to the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emitted due to that activity. In order to counter global warming, mankind must reduce the GHG emissions of its activities. READ MORE

  6. 5. The water footprint of coffee production in Miraflor, Nicaragua

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Emma Moberg; [2016]
    Keywords : Water footprint; water footprint assessment; consumptive water use; water pollution; Nicaragua; coffee; Vattenfotavtryck; konsekvensanalys; vattenanvändning; vattenkonsumtion; vattenförorening; Nicaragua; kaffe;

    Abstract : A water footprint is a tool for assessing the impacts of freshwater use by mapping the water use of the production of a good or a service, a process in a production chain, a business or even of a whole country. One of the most commonly used methods for calculating the water footprint was developed by the Water Footprint Network (WFN). READ MORE
