  1. 1. Electric Leisure Boats: Enablers and Barriers : A case study of leisure boat manufacturers

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

    Author : FREDRIK IHRFELT; [2023]
    Keywords : Leisure boats; electric boats; electrification; technology management; innovation; industrial transformation; accelerators.; Fritidsbåtar; elbåtar; elektrificering; teknikledning; innovation; industriell transformation; påskyndare.;

    Abstract : Combustion engines and fossil fuels have traditionally driven motor-powered leisure boats. Electrification is quickly transforming the transportation sector, but electric boats are rare. The primary drawback of the electric boat is the high production cost. READ MORE

  2. 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

  3. 3. Conceptualisation, Implementation and Commissioning of a Controlled Pyrolysis Rig : KTH Master Thesis Report

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

    Author : Arjun Monga; [2023]
    Keywords : coke deposition; pyrolysis; catalysis; methane; sample; cooling channels; regenerative cooling; rocket engines; koksavsättning; pyrolys; katalys; metan; prov; kylkanaler; regenerativ kylning; raketmotorer;

    Abstract : Liquid methane has seen popular interest from industry and academia as a next-generation rocket fuel due to its favorable performance characteristics and potential for extra-terrestrial in-situ resource utilisation. Since the rocket combustion chamber and nozzle are subject to high heat loads, regenerative cooling is a standard method to achieve lower temperatures. READ MORE

  4. 4. The effects of sector free allowances & emissions on stock returns : A study on firms which partake in the EU emissions trading system

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi och statistik (NS)

    Author : Mario Milic; Noah Stjernberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Stock returns; EU ETS; CO2 Emissions; Financial performance; Free allowances;

    Abstract : This study aims to investigate whether sectorial free allowances and sector emissions have any effect on a firm's stock return under the newly introduced EU ETS (Emission trading system). In doing so, the data have been structured as panel data and are gathered for a sample period of 10 years measuring from 2012-2021, looking at 6 sectors (Aviation, Combustion of fuels, refining of mineral oil, production of cardboard/ paper, production of pig iron and steel and production of bulk chemicals).
