1. 1. Peak Load Shaving Strategies of an Office Building : A Case Study at AirSon

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

   Author : Azin Farzam; [2024]
   Keywords : Shifting Peak Load; Electricity Reduction; Measuring Peak Load; Electricity Efficiency; Building Management System; Electricity Consumption.;

   Abstract : Introduction: The global demand for renewable energy is expected to grow annually due to rising electricity consumption and economic and regulatory incentives. Efficient consumption and management of electricity consumption can support this trend (shifting from fossil resources to renewable resources) and benefit companies economically by reducing peak loads, reducing subscription costs, and protecting companies' power systems and networks.

3. 2. Shifting focus from yields to food supply : an evaluation of the ‘number of people fed per hectare’ indicator at farm and national level

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Ida Ekqvist; [2024]
   Keywords : Land use efficiency; Sustainability indicators; Agricultural productivity; Food production;

   Abstract : The challenge of feeding a growing global population while reducing the pressure on climate and ecosystems has gained much attention in research over the last decades. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect in research addressing this complex challenge is the efficiency of food production in meeting nutritional needs within the constraints of global cropland resources.

4. 3. Quantifying liquid food waste : levels of liquid coffee waste, its causes and barriers and drivers for quantification in the Swedish food service sector

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Rosa Hellman; [2024]
   Keywords : sewage food waste; beverage waste; direct measurement; hospitality; restaurant; serving waste; food waste cause;

   Abstract : Food waste is a waste of resources required throughout the entire supply chain, leading to environmental impacts that could have been avoided. Coffee has a relatively high environmental impact partially due to the high consumption. To identify levels and sources of food waste, and consequently prevent it, quantification is used. READ MORE

5. 4. Prospects for standardisation of industrial PET plastics to support the transition towards a circular economy

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

   Author : Agnes Ström; [2024]
   Keywords : Standard; standardisation; industrial PET; polyethylene terephthalate; circular economy; plastic; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Plastkonsumtionen har ökat markant över tid och har utvecklats till ett viktigt material i dagens samhälle, men med utmaningen att råvaran främst kommer från fossila källor. Användningen av plast är i linje med den linjära ekonomin och den så kallade slit-och-släng-kulturen, vilket bidrar till felaktig hantering av plastavfall och en ineffektiv användning av resurser.
