2. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization
University essay from KTH/EnergiteknikAbstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

4. Corporate Climate Due Diligence in the European Union – A Legal Analysis of its Implications for the Climate Action of Energy-Intensive Industries
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för handelsrättAbstract : In this thesis, issues surrounding climate actions are analysed through the notion of corporate due diligence in the European Union (EU) context. The study explores how mandatory climate change due diligence schemes, potentially in the form of a legally binding instrument, may affect the critical sector of energy-intensive industries (EIIs) in the Union and further contribute to the broader EU climate actions.

5. The Risk Spillover Effect Between the EUA Carbon Market and Carbon-intensive Sectors in European Stock Markets
University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionenAbstract : This study examines the risk spillover effect between European emission allowance (EUA) carbon price and the indices of energy-intensive industries in the stock market in the European countries. To achieve this, we employ the Diebold and Yilmaz model to investigate both the static and dynamic risk spillover effect and discuss the impact of the economic conditions and policy changes on the carbon market.
