1. 11. Towards low carbon buildings: A case study in Sweden

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

   Author : Huynh Tuan Tran; Victor-Antoine Delorme; [2023]
   Keywords : Life cycle assessment; Environmental impact of building materials; Carbon neutrality; Biobased material; Biochar; Cross Laminated Timber; Biogenic carbon; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study comprehensively evaluated the global warming potential of an office building in a newly built Scandinavian neighbourhood seeking to reach sustainability. The primary objective of the research was to support the city authorities of Helsingborg by providing valuable insights into actual carbon emissions at the building level and proposing measures to minimize these emissions to achieve climate neutrality by 2030.

3. 12. Understanding the potential future capacity of distributing green steel solutions - current knowledge and future challenges

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

   Author : Heba Alwan; [2023]
   Keywords : Carbon dioxide CO2 ; greenhouse gas GHG emissions; Steelmaking fossil-free; direct hydrogen reduction; Sustainability transitions.;

   Abstract : Transitioning from the conventional steel process to a direct hydrogen reduction process in the steel industry is a significant step towards reducing carbon dioxide emissions and achieving greater sustainability. The process involves using hydrogen gas as a reducing agent instead of carbon to remove oxygen from the iron ore. READ MORE

4. 13. Optical Studies of Cellulose-Based Materials for Spectral Design of Camouflage and Passive Cooling Applications

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Olivia Grönlund Falk; Felix Valentin; [2022]
   Keywords : Nanocellulose; optical properties; spectroscopy; ellipsometry; BRDF measurements; optical microscopy; reflectance; transmittance; absorptance; transflectance; spectral design; camouflage; passive radiative cooling;

   Abstract : In the past few years, studies regarding new bio-based materials have led to an increased attention in the nanoscale product of cellulose, called nanocellulose. This biodegradable and renewable material has interesting physical, optical and thermal properties. READ MORE

5. 14. Laser Scattering for Fast Characterization of Cellulose Filaments

   University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

   Author : Alexandra Konstantinidou; Saga Holmström; Susanna Hellberg; [2022]
   Keywords : Cellulose nanofibrils; Fibers; Sustainable development; Bio-based material; Characterization; Microscale; Microscopy; Small-angle light scattering; Laser diffraction; Cellulosananofibriller; Fiber; H˚allbar utveckling; Biobaserade material; Karakterisering; Mikroskala; Mikroskopi; Ljusspridning; Laserdiffraktion;

   Abstract : Cellulosananofibriller (CNFs) hör till naturens mest fundamentala byggstenar och förser naturliga material, såsom den yttre cellväggen i trä, med en otrolig styrka och styvhet. Genom att imitera träets arkitektur öppnas möjligheter upp för tillverkning av nya, biobaserade och lättviktiga strukturella material med mekaniska egenskaper som överskrider de för glasfiber, metaller och legeringar.

6. 15. Bio versus Mineral Hydraulic Oil in Forklifts : Life Cycle Assessment with Different Waste Scenarios and a Market Analysis

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

   Author : Maja Hägesten Nilsson; Albin Kylbrink; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Hydraulic oils are today most often based on mineral oil and thus eventuate in environmental and climate impacts during all its life cycle phases, but there are bio-based alternatives. Hy- draulic oils are widely used in forklifts, and the use of forklifts is increasing due to logistics within e-commerce. READ MORE
