  3. 7. CCU in Scandinavia: an uncertainty analysis regarding the future state of captured carbon in the region.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Marta Gebellí Carrasco; William Melander; [2023]
    Keywords : CCU; E-kerosene; Precast concrete; CO2 utilization; Scandinavian region; Defossilization; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The urgent need to mitigate climate change has prompted researchers to investigate novel strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One promising technology that might ease the way for sustainable and circular economies is carbon capture and utilization (CCU), which not only captures CO2 emissions but also uses them to produce valuable products.

  4. 8. Sustainable water treatment in the manufacturing industry : Investigation of the water treatment system at VCE, Hallsberg

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Energisystem

    Author : Johan Hagströmer; Forsberg Emma; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Transitioning to circular flows is essential to economize the planet’s resources. One of the most important resources on earth is water as it is vital for all living things. However, water purification methods have proven to be very energy intensive, and increasing the circular water flows is therefore challenging. READ MORE

  5. 9. Användning av krävande ballastmaterial vid betongtillverkning - En laborativ utvärdering av absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användning av glimmerrik bergkross och återvunnen betong som ballast

    Abstract : Detta examensarbete utvärderar ett absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användningen av krävande ballast vid betongtillverkning. Den huvudsakliga anledningen till att ballasten benämns som krävande är att den har ovanligt hög absorptionsförmåga. READ MORE

  6. 10. Convivial Construction

    University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

    Author : Hannah Sheerin; [2023]
    Keywords : circular economy; material culture; the rural; collective living; contemporary vernacular;

    Abstract : This thesis sits at the relationship between an architecture, and the landscape that produces and is produced by that architecture, recognising that the way we build is often profoundly damaging to the land and its inhabitants, not only at the site of construction but across a vast network of extraction, transportation and processing. We need a new material culture that rethinks of the built environment as an extension of the wider ecosystem and social context, able to be maintained in good health through a symbiotic, seasonal and regenerative cycle of matter and energy.
