  1. 11. Legumes as protein-based alternatives to meat: A case study of Färsodlarna and Stacky’s

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Hilda Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Legumes; Multi-Level Perspective; Plant-Based Products; Sustainable Development; Sustainable Food System; Sustainability Transition;

    Abstract : The urgent action needed to achieve the goals within the Paris Agreement and restrict the increase of global warming to 1,5 degrees calls for adaptation across the whole of society. One way to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is to enable a transition towards a sustainable food system, from meat products to more plant-based products including the consumption of more legumes.

  3. 12. Prototype of a Range Prediction Interface for an Electric Rescue Boat

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Oskar Pålhagen; Erik Halme; [2023]
    Keywords : Electric rescue boat; Battery GUI; Range prediction; Prototyping; Elektrisk räddningsbåt; Batteri GUI; Avståndsestimering; Prototypframställning;

    Abstract : Global warming and its effects on the environment call for electrification of the transportation sector. In this effort, the boating industry has not been a pioneer, while being responsible for almost 3 percent of global anthropogenic carbon emissions. READ MORE

  4. 13. Bringing nuance back to the carbon offsetting debate : evidence of a transition, calls for a transformation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Ash Farber; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon offsetting; corporate decarbonisation; opinion formation; climate change; situated knowledge; bounded rationality; critical realism;

    Abstract : Climate change caused by the increase in anthropogenic emissions is currently increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events globally (IPCC, 2022) which is having devastating impacts on humans and non-human living beings globally. Rapid and deep decarbonisation is required to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and ensure a safe and habitable planet for the future of humanity. READ MORE

  5. 14. Evaluating the impact of agriculture on albedo using Sentinel-2 data in southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Victor Andréasson; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical geography and ecosystem science; Remote sensing; Sentinel-2; Albedo; Agriculture; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The climate impact of food production plays a big part in the anthropogenic climate impact. Mitigation strategies from this sector are hence of great importance. One area which mainly has been used to calculate climate impact is albedo, the overall reflectance of incoming radiation in all directions. READ MORE

  6. 15. Design and processing of metal-organic frameworks for greenhouse gas capture

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

    Author : Evelina Wiksten; [2023]
    Keywords : Metal-organic frameworks; zeolitic imidazolate frameworks; carbon capture; gas adsorption; direct ink writing;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases has long been suspected to contribute to global warming and climate change. Most greenhouse gases are emitted in a mixture, so efficient methods and materials to separate and capture the gases are in demand in order to reduce emissions. READ MORE
