  1. 1. 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

  5. 4. Effects of cover crops on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in cereal cropping

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Khadija Aziz; [2022]
    Keywords : cover crops; nitrous oxide; C sequestration; greenhouse gases; off-season emissions; freeze-thaw cycles;

    Abstract : More than 60% of anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions are attributed to agricultural activities. N2O production in soils highly depends on the N availability along with other factors such as soil moisture content, which provide suitable conditions for nitrification and denitrification.
