  1. 1. Refining the particulate matter airway deposition arising from indoor cooking-related biomass combustion for children in the Haramaya district in Ethiopia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi

    Author : Kasper Malmborn; [2023]
    Keywords : Air pollution exposure; charcoal; wood; animal dung; low-income setting epidemiology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Background: Air pollution, a global issue affecting millions of individuals, is linked to adverse health effects on the respiratory system, but also to e.g., cancer and cardiovascular ailments. In low-income countries, cooking is often conducted by biomass-combustion, causing women and children to be exposed to high levels of indoor air pollution. READ MORE

  3. 2. Research on the Hydrothermal Conversion of Xylose Catalysed by CO2-H2O into Furfural

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

    Author : Robert Liao; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Agricultural waste treatment and carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion have been critical challenges for sustainable development. This work is part of a study on converting straw into biofuels, which involves using xylose as the material, carbon dioxide (CO2) as the catalyst, and water (H2O) and Gamma-Valerolactone (GVL) as the solvent to produce furfural through hydrothermal conversion.

  4. 3. Ogräsfrönas överlevnad i biogasanläggningar : en litteraturgenomgång och ansats till metaanalys

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Elin Strömberg; [2023]
    Keywords : anaerobisk nerbrytning; biogas; biogasreaktor; biogödsel; dödlighet; frö; ogräs; retentionstid; rötning; rötrest; rötslam; substrat; temperatur; överlevnad;

    Abstract : Sveriges energibehov 2020 var 508 TWh och av det är kärnkraft, biobränsle, olja och vattenkraft de viktigaste energislagen. På grund av att biogasproduktion har ett netto noll utsläpp har regeringen har valt att investera 40% av klimatklivets budget till dessa projekt. READ MORE

  5. 4. Climbing to new heights : The importance of considering passengers on the flight towards more sustainable forms of aviation

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

    Author : Eleanor Dowds; [2023]
    Keywords : Sustainable aviation; passengers; attitudes; SAF; biofuels; Diffusion of Innovation; Hållbart flyg; passagerare; attityder; SAF; biobränsle; Diffusion of Innovation;

    Abstract : Within the commercial aviation industry, with its ever increasing global carbon footprint rising with consumer demand, the need for more sustainable forms of aviation has become more necessary than ever. With growing demands for emission reductions and better energy management practices across all industries in initiatives such as the Paris Agreement, there has never been a more pressing time to explore the existing and potential pathways towards more sustainable forms of aviation.

  6. 5. Combining GHG Emissions and Soil Carbon Changes as a Single Metric to Evaluate Agricultural Policy Promoting Biomass for Biofuels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning; Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Malin Lane; [2022]
    Keywords : Gräsvallar; klimatpåverkan; kolinlagring; jordbruk; biomassa; biobränslen.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Incorporating a multi-year grass ley into an arable crop rotation can increase soil organic carbon stocks, reduce carbon emissions and provide feedstock for biogas. This thesis set out to study how a policy promoting agricultural biomass for biogas impacts GHG emissions and carbon sequestration on a regional level over a temporal scale of 20 years. READ MORE
