  1. 16. Power system balancing in Swedish future scenarios of 2045 - Estimating contributions from V2G

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Pontus Herrmann; Julia Jonasson; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The ongoing climate change calls for an immediate decarbonization of society, where one important measure is a rapid transition of the energy system through an expansion of variable renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar photovoltaic power production. This transition imposes new challenges to the electrical power system, not least from a power balance perspective. READ MORE

  5. 19. Research on the Hydrothermal Conversion of Xylose Catalysed by CO2-H2O into Furfural

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

    Author : Robert Liao; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Agricultural waste treatment and carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion have been critical challenges for sustainable development. This work is part of a study on converting straw into biofuels, which involves using xylose as the material, carbon dioxide (CO2) as the catalyst, and water (H2O) and Gamma-Valerolactone (GVL) as the solvent to produce furfural through hydrothermal conversion.
