  3. 7. Techno-economic Study of Hydrogen as a Heavy-duty Truck Fuel : A Case Study on the Transport Corridor Oslo – Trondheim

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

    Author : Janis Danebergs; [2019]
    Keywords : Hydrogen; heavy-duty transport; zero emissions; FCET; HRS; techno-economic analysis; TCO; LCOH; Vätgas; lastbilar; nollutsläpp; vätgaslastbil; teknisk ekonomisk analys; TCO; LCOH;

    Abstract : Norway has already an almost emission-free power production and its sales of zero-emission light-duty vehicles surpassed 30% in 2018; a natural next challenge is to identify ways to reduce emissions of heavyduty vehicles. In this work the possibilities to deploy Fuel Cell Electric Trucks (FCET) on the route Oslo-Trondheim are analyzed by doing a techno-economic analysis. READ MORE

  4. 8. Analysis of Burkina Faso Electricity System

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

    Author : Robert Karisa Masumbuko; [2019]

    Abstract : Burkina Faso like many other Least Developed Countries (LDC) in their quest for sustainable development has realized that for there to be meaningful economic and social progress, prioritizing resilience to impacts of climate change is critical. In its National Adaptation Plan, a decrease in average rainfall is forecasted in the order of 150 mm by 2025, in comparison to an average annual value of 798mm for the period 1991 to 2016, and an increase in average temperatures between 1° C - 2.

  5. 9. Catalytic hydrotreating of lignin

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Markus Lilja; [2019]
    Keywords : Lignin; hydrotreating; kemiteknik; chemical engineering; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : One of the main challenge’s society faces today is climate change caused by CO2 due to the de-pendence on fossil fuels. To combat the increasing CO2 levels there is a need to develop renewable fuels. One such fuel could potentially be derived from lignin. In this thesis, lignin derived from a pulp and paper mill was first treated and cleaned. READ MORE

  6. 10. Feeding the 45 million : substituting soybean protein with insect protein within EU poultry and egg production

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Douglas Hunter; [2019]
    Keywords : insects; insect production; livestock feed; entomophagy; land use; futures research; food security; energy security; black soldier fly; mealworm; house cricket; sustainable development;

    Abstract : A global population increasing both in number and in resource consumption per capita has resulted in food, livestock feed and energy crop demands that are increasingly difficult to meet on rapidly degrading soils within a diminishing available area of arable land. With further expansion of agricultural land infeasible and yield increases through further intensification insufficient to meet the scale of predicted crop demand, the use of insects as an animal feed has gained traction as a method of not only reducing competition for arable land, but also some of the detrimental environmental consequences of livestock and conventional feed production.
