1. 11. Techno-economic analysis of large-scale production of e-methanol, via CO2- hydrogenation, in Power-to-X

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Jonathan Ahlbäck Ikonen; [2023]
   Keywords : Power-to-X; E-methanol; Hydrogen Production; CO2-hydrogenation; Methanol Synthesis; Decarbonisation; Chemical Engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Global levels of carbon emissions are constantly rising causing irreversible damages to ecosystems. The heavy transport sector and the industrial sector are responsible for large amounts of the emissions on a yearly basis. READ MORE

3. 12. Decarbonisation of service vessels in offshore wind power through power-to-X self-sufficiency

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

   Author : Clemens Kellander; Ludvig Fredriksson; [2023]
   Keywords : Alternative fuels; compressed hydrogen; battery; production; energy storage; operation and maintenance; O M; offshore; wind power; service vessel; crew transfer vessel; CTV; service operations vessel; SOV; decarbonisation; global warming potential; life cycle; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This report examines the possibilities of decarbonising operation & maintenance vessels for a prospective floating offshore wind power park at the Utsira Nord site in Norway, through self-sufficient energy carrier production utilizing power-to-X-solutions. Possible alternative fuels are identified as compressed hydrogen, batteries, liquid hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and biofuels, out of which the former two are the subject for thorough investigation in this report.

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. Hydrogen Production from Offshore Wind Power in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

   Author : Linnéa Hulting; Nellie Eriksson; [2023]
   Keywords : Hydrogen; Electrolysis; Offshore wind power; LCOH; PEM; SOE; AEC; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The versatile energy carrier hydrogen has the potential to reach otherwise hard-to-abate sectors and is of importance for the energy transition and the full decarbonisation of the energy systems. In the meantime, the offshore wind power is predicted to increase where large amounts of electricity can be produced. READ MORE

6. 15. Decarbonisation of the commercial road transport : The role of European Policy

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi

   Author : Petr Hannsmann; [2023]
   Keywords : Commercial road transport; European policy; decarbonisation; multi-level perspective; geography of sustainability transition; mission-oriented policies; policy implementation process; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Following the Paris agreement of 2015, the latest reports of the IPCC, exacerbated by the lingering impacts of the Covid crisis and the recent war of aggression of Russia on Ukraine, the European Union is proposing an ambitious set of rules and regulations aimed at making Europe the first climate neutral continent by 2050. As a part of this so-called European Green Deal, the Fit for 55 package was introduced to align the existing and proposed legislature to ensure at least 55% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
