  1. 1. Capture those opinions! A synthesis analysis of the types of public attitudes measured in waste-to-energy and carbon capture and storage acceptance research

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Patricia Balla; [2023]
    Keywords : Acceptance; BECCS; CCS; carbon capture and storage; energy transition; public perception; WtE; waste-to-energy;

    Abstract : Waste-to-Energy incineration (WtE), coupled with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), especially Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), suggest a way to simultaneously retrieve energy from the otherwise disposed waste and reduce CO2 emissions. Independent of one another, WtE, CCS, and BECCS are implemented in a few regions of the world, but their joint diffusion is uncommon in comparison. READ MORE

  2. 2. A field-based estimation of eagle predation and scavenging on reindeer calves : towards mitigating human-wildlife conflicts

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Aemilius Johannes Van Der Meiden; [2023]
    Keywords : aquila chrysaetos; haliaeetus albicilla; rangifer tarandus; predation; repelling; human-wildlife conflict;

    Abstract : Eagle predation on semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) calves, both golden (Aquila chrysaetos) and white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is a well-known issue in Sweden. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the balance between scavenging and hunting and the role that each of the eagle species has in this issue. READ MORE

  3. 3. Techno-economic analysis of a waste-to-energy system using innovative pyrolysis process

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

    Author : Hannah Sofie Perrens; [2023]
    Keywords : Waste management; pyrolysis; heat and power generation; decentralized energy systems; waste-to-energy;

    Abstract : Waste management is of growing concern with increasing amount of municipal waste generation and the industry standards are becoming stricter due to climate goals and sustainable development. Waste-to-energy (WTE) systems in the form of waste incineration have been promoted as a low-carbon energy source, but nevertheless have high greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. READ MORE

  4. 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.

  5. 5. An Energy Management Oriented Analysis: Case Study of a Waste to Energy Plant in Lecco, Italy

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Noemi Cerra; [2019]
    Keywords : ISO 50001; Energy Management; Energy Management System; Energy Efficiency; Waste To Energy; Energy Review.; ISO 50001; Energihantering; Energihanteringssystem; Energieffektivitet; Avfall till energi; Energibesiktning.;

    Abstract : The ISO 50001 standard on energy management systems was released in 2011 with the aim of providing organizations with a standardised guideline for the evaluation and continual improvement of energy performance. Complex structures such as the waste to energy (WTE) sector, which must comply with social, environmental, economic and productivity objectives, can benefit from the development of a compliant energy management system (EnMS).
