  1. 11. Modeling of an Electrolysis System for Techno-Economic Optimization of Hydrogen Production

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

    Author : Jürgen Köstlbacher; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydrogen; Hydrogen Production; Green Hydrogen; LCOH; Electrolysis; PEM; AEL; MILP; Optimization; Techno-Economic Analysis; Cost Optimization; PPA; vätgas; vätgasproduktion; grön vätgas; LCOH; elektrolys; PEM; AEL; MILP; optimering; tekniskekonomisk analys; kostnadsoptimering; PPA;

    Abstract : In face of climate change, Europe and other global actors are in the process of transitioning to carbon-neutral economies, aiming to phase out of fossil fuels and power industries with renewable energies. Hydrogen is going to play a crucial role in the transition, replacing fossil fuels in hard-to-decarbonize industries and acting as energy carrier and energy storage for renewable electricity.

  3. 12. Can targeted disclosure regulations facilitate the environmental transition of the shipping sector? : a study on the effect of the EU MRV Regulation on ship emissions

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Moa Lundkvist; [2023]
    Keywords : environmental disclosure regulation; maritime sector; shipping; targeted transparency; MRV regulation; EU; Regression Discontinuity Design RDD ;

    Abstract : This research examines the impact of the EU Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) regulation on ship emissions when calling at EU ports. The main question is whether ships that are required to report their emissions emit less due to the regulation. READ MORE

  4. 13. Building performance optimisation tools for the decarbonisation of Swedish buildings

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

    Author : Nadja Baden; Marziyeh Taghizadeh; [2023]
    Keywords : Optimisation; Parametric design; Decarbonisation; Renovation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : To mitigate climate change and reach Sweden’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2045, or at an earlier stage of 2030 for 23 Swedish cities, urgent action is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the building sector’s significant contribution to carbon emissions, a crucial aspect in achieving these goals is improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings, as most of these will still be in use by this time.

  5. 14. Evaluating a new hydraulic implementation in LPJ-GUESS for three sites in north Europe

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Carl Holmquist; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; LPJ-GUESS; drought; sensitivity analysis; evapotranspiration; gross primary production; hydraulic parameters; boreal forest.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Drought is projected to increase in frequency and intensity and impacts trees with increased water stress and increased mortality rate. Water stresses can cause hydraulic failure-related mortality or carbon starvation due to tree species having different strategies to deal with water stresses. READ MORE

  6. 15. Is there a carbon emission-return relation? Exploring the existence of a carbon emission return relation in the Swedish stock market

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Gustaf Kaddik; William Lundell; [2023]
    Keywords : emission premium; emission alpha; carbon emissions; emission intensity; stock returns;

    Abstract : We use portfolio sorting and Fama-Macbeth regressions to investigate the potential relation between carbon emissions and stock returns in the Swedish stock market, a country with stringent carbon regulations and taxes. We research the Swedish stock market between 2010-2019 and do not find evidence of such a relationship. READ MORE
