1. 1. Carbon Capture from Biomass Boiler Flue Gas Emissions using Microalgae : A Case Study

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

   Author : Graham Kirn; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) is expected to play an important role in climate change mitigation efforts intended to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), in which carbon is captured during energy generation from sustainably sourced biomass fuels, is of particular interest in Sweden. READ MORE

3. 2. Product-Service Systems for Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers: The Role of External Partnerships

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Pedro Scherma de Carvalho; [2023]
   Keywords : Product-Service System; Collaboration; Partnership; Barriers; Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers;

   Abstract : The current patterns of consumption are threatening the availability of natural resources. These natural resources, such as raw materials and biomass, are critical for different economic activities. ProductService System (PSS) has received attention as a solution to drive resource efficiency by extending the life cycle of products. READ MORE

4. 3. Carbon Accounting and SeaweedOffsets : An overview of some current carbon accounting methodologiesand the emerging sector of seaweed carbon offsets

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Alice Rudberg; [2023]
   Keywords : carbon accounting; carbon offsets; carbon credits; blue carbon; seaweed offsets; climate mitigation; sustainability; klimatkompensering; klimatberäking; begränsning av klimatförändringar; alger; tång; hållbarhet;

   Abstract : As the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) have increased and received moreattention, the need for climate mitigation solutions has become more urgent. Today, several methodologies for carbon accounting exists, as well as the possibility to offset emissions by buying carbon offsets. READ MORE

5. 4. Biobased iron pellet production : Assessment of the availability and sustainability of biomass as fuel for iron ore pellet production in LKAB

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, design och hållbar utveckling (2023-)

   Author : Magnus Kemi; [2023]
   Keywords : bio-energy; biomass; coal; greenhouse gas emissions; industrial residues; LCA; LKAB; logging residues; iron ore; pellets; sinters; willow; sustainability;

   Abstract : Iron production accounts for substantial shares of global coal use and GHG emissions. LKAB is Europe’s largest iron company and Sweden’s fourth-largest emitter of GHGs. To reduce its emissions, LKAB might implement biomass in iron ore pelletisation. READ MORE

6. 5. Flexible Sector Coupling (FSC) of Electrical and Thermal Sectors via Thermal Energy Storage (TES) : A Case Study on Oskarshamn Energi

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

   Author : Raúl Calvo García; Jose María Marín Arcos; [2023]
   Keywords : Flexible sector coupling FSC ; district heating DH ; thermal energy storage TES ; heat pump HP ; capacity optimization; dispatch optimization; open-access tools; Flexibel sektorkoppling; fjärrvärme; termisk energilagring; värmepump; kapacitetsoptimering; leveransoptimering; verktyg med öppen tillgång;

   Abstract : The integration of distributed energy sources and systems is of high relevance for the transition towards a more sustainable energy system. Taking into consideration the  amount of emissions produced by the heating sector, which account for at least half of the energy demand in buildings, district heating systems have the potential to play a key role in the transition, by enabling the integration of various energy sources and provide flexible energy services to the grid.
