  1. 1. Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Europe and the Impact on Near-Surface Wind Speed in Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Nils Philipp Stange; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Investigations of Land use and land cover change (LULCC) have recently become of increasing interest. This trend occurs not only based of the importance of biogeochemical processes such as carbon sequestration, but also because of their climate impacts caused by changed biogeophysical properties.

  3. 2. 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

  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. Changes in lake-water organic carbon over recent centuries in northern Sweden, Västerbotten : Past and present mechanisms, and the potential implications on mercury

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Magnusson Petter; [2023]
    Keywords : Lake-water TOC; Summer forest farming; traditional agriculture; land-use; geochemistry; mercury;

    Abstract : Due to the current increase in lake water total organic carbon (LW-TOC), many studies have investigated the long-term dynamics using lake sediments. However, these have mainly been focused on Sweden’s south and south-central parts. READ MORE

  6. 5. Enabling small-scale production of biochar in carbon markets : A multi-actor governance approach

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Linnea Sörman; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Climate change is increasing the temperature rise, which damages nature and people. Increasing and using carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques are crucial to limit global warming to staying under 2 °C and fulfilling the Paris Agreement. There are several different CDR techniques, and biochar is one. READ MORE
